How this was studied
A meta-analytic synthesis — it pools many primary studies rather than running a single design, so there is no single-study diagram.

= 179,442). We then provide evidence for the relative importance of each identification target through meta-analytic relative weights and regression analysis. Categorizing attitudes according to the same level (team, organization, profession), we found that organizational and team identification were most important in predicting "matching" attitudes, in support of the identity-matching principle. For professional-focused attitudes, behaviors, and general well-being, results were less clear; each identity target explained a range of variance in outcomes. There was a trend of team identification being the most important predictor, particularly for well-being. Through meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM), we tested the self-esteem hypothesis from social identity theory; results show that effects from identification to outcomes transmitted through self-esteem were weaker than direct effects.
