Overview
An established tradition in sociological research, trend analysis is exemplified by studies relating change in social attitudes to change in the behaviour of collectivities or to the social structural location of respondents. Employing data from Canadian research in affect control theory (a mathematical formalization of classic identity theories in sociological social psychology), the study reported in this paper is the first to connect changes in attitudes for social identities to social and cultural change. The data on identity attitudes consist of mean EPA (evaluation, potency, and activity) semantic differential ratings of 102 social identities spanning a broad range of social institutions. The samples are derived from 1981 and 1995 cohorts of a medium size Ontario University. While the regression of 1995 on 1981 mean EPA values reveals that collective attitudes for social identities are quite stable over time, the residual variance is sufficiently large to suggest that important changes in identity attitudes have taken place. We identity these changes and interpret them in terms of social and cultural change in Canadian society between our two surveys. For example, we connect the loss of status and power of religious identities to the decline of organized religion in the lives of young Canadians, the decrease in the stigmatizing of homosexual identities to an increase in tolerance for alternative sexual orientations and lifestyles, and the general loss of status and agency of political identities to an increase in the disenchantment of Canadians with the integrity and effectiveness of the political system. /// Une tradition établie dans la recherche sociologique, l'analyse de tendances (\"trend analysis\"), est illustrée par les recherches liant les changements d'attitudes sociales aux changements de comportement collectif ou à la position des répondants dans la structure sociale. Utilisant les données d'une recherche Canadienne portant sur la \"affect control theory\" (une formalisation mathématique des théories d'identités dans la psychologie sociale sociologique), l'étude présentée dans cet exposé est le premier à lier les changements en attitude d'identités sociales aux changements sociaux et culturels. Les données sur les attitudes d'identités consistent en un indice différentiel sémantique moyen de EPA (\"Evaluation, Potency, and Activity\") établi sur 102 identités sociales couvrant un grand nombre d'institutions sociales. Les échantillons sont extraits de cohortes d'une université Ontarienne de taille moyenne en l'année 1981 et l'année 1995. Bien que la régression des valeurs moyennes de EPA en 1995 comparativement à 1981 nous révèle que les attitudes collectives pour les identités sociales sont stables à long terme, la variance résiduelle est suffisamment élevée pour nous indiquer que des changements importants en attitude d'identités ont eu lieu. Nous identifions et interprétons ces changements en terme de changements sociaux et culturels dans la société canadienne entre nos deux sondages. Par exemple, nous lions la perte de statut et de pouvoir d'identités religieuses au déclin de la religion dans la vie des jeunes gens Canadiens; le déclin de la stigmatisation de l'identité homosexuelle à l'augmentation de la tolérance pour une orientation sexuelle alternative et aux modes de vie; et la perte générale de statut et de pouvoir des identités politiques à l'augmentation du désenchantement des Canadiens face à l'intégrité et l'efficacité du système politique.
