QUESTION

Strong identification with the group tends to create pressures for mutual self-help and collective action.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

ANSWER

TRUE
Strong identification with the group is argued to create pressures for mutual self-help and collective action. If the worth of an individual is closely linked to the achievements of the group (e.g., firm), as Nakane maintains is the case in Japan, this creates a strong incentive for individual members of the group to work together for the common good.
