Solidifying the consciousness of a community for the Chinese nation is an important strategy for governing the country and achieving national development and national rejuvenation.This article aims to explore the influence of temporal perspective and breadth of the temporal focus on the consciousness of a community for the Chinese nation(perceived similarity,intergroup contact intention,policy support attitude,helping behavior)by manipulating temporal perspective and measuring breadth of temporal focus.The results show that there are ethnic preferences in the promotion effect of temporal perspective on the sense of the Chinese nation community.Minority subjects tend to prefer past time orientation,while Han subjects tend to prefer future time orientation.The breadth of temporal information focus can predict the consciousness of a community for the Chinese nation,and self-continuity plays a mediating role between breadth of temporal information focus and intergroup contact intention,also in breadth of temporal information focus and helping behavior.This study reveals the differences and psychological mechanisms between temporal perception and the consciousness of a community for the Chinese nation.
