Identity fusion is a powerful feeling of connectedness to one’s group. The current research explores whether measuring certainty in identity fusion improves its ability to predict extreme pro-group outcomes. Across three studies, participants reported their level of identity fusion with their country and their certainty in responses to the scale (predictor variables). Responses to a trolley dilemma) (Studies 1 and 3) and willingness to fight and die for one’s group (Studies 1 and 2) were the dependent measures. As expected, certainty moderated the effects of identity fusion on self-sacrifice, with greater consistency between them obtained for those with high (vs. low) certainty. In conclusion, taking certainty into consideration can be useful to predict the association between identity fusion and self-sacrifice
