Seven critical categories are confirmed including the cognition, motivation and behavior of network public welfare, the environment of public welfare, the strength of relationship, the individual difference and the incentive strategies. It is proposed that social identity of network public welfare includes three stages:cognition, motivation and behavior, and the generation process of social identity will be influenced by four main factors which are public welfare environment, strength of relationship, individual difference and incentive strategies. Based on the conclusions above, some proposals are given from the perspectives of policy, public welfare organizations, network platforms and media, the public and so on.
