Background: Mood disorders are highly prevalent in people with MS. MS causes changes to a person’s sense of self. The Social Identity Model of Identity Change posits that group membership can have a positive effect on mood during identity change. The family is a social group implicated in adjustment to MS.Objective: To investigate whether family identity can predict mood in people with MS.Methods: A cross-sectional survey design (n=123) comprising measures of family identity, family social support, connectedness to others, and mood.Results: Family identity predicted mood both directly and indirectly through parallel mediators of family social support and connectedness to others.Conclusion: Family identity predicted mood as posited by the Social Identity Model of Identity Change. Involving the family in adjustment to MS could reduce low mood. |
