The actions of advantaged group activists (sometimes called “allies”) are admirable, and they likely make meaningful contributions to the movements support. However, a nuanced understanding role allies must also consider potential challenges their participation. Both in everyday lives during activist work, especially have direct contact with disadvantaged members. This article considers when such may harm rather than help resistance by groups. We suggest that avoid these undermining effects,...
Sustained mass behaviour change is needed to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, but many of required changes run contrary existing social norms (e.g., physical closeness with in-group members). This paper explains how and identities are critical explaining changing public behaviour. Recommendations presented for harness these processes maximise adherence health guidance. Specifically, we recommend that messages clearly define who target group is, framed as identity-affirming rather than...
During the initial phase of COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. conservative politicians and media downplayed risk both contracting effectiveness recommended health behaviors. Health behavior theories suggest perceived vulnerability to a threat health-protective behaviors determine motivation follow recommendations. Accordingly, we predicted that-as result politicization pandemic-politically Americans would be less likely enact In two longitudinal studies residents, political conservatism was inversely...
The authors used a revised planned behavior model in the consumer domain. incorporated separate measures of descriptive and injunctive/ prescriptive norms, self-identity, past an effort to improve predictive power theory (TPB; I. Ajzen, 1985) relation self-reported behavior: purchasing one's preferred soft drink. At Time 1, respondents (N = 112) completed self-report (a) attitudes, (b) perceived behavioral control, (c) injunctive/prescriptive (d) (e) behavior, (f) intentions. assessed 1 week...
Research has shown limited support for the notion that perceived effectiveness of collective action is a predictor intentions to engage in action. One reason may be been terms whether will influence key decision makers. We argue might judged by other criteria, such as it influences third parties, builds an oppositional movement, and expresses values. Two hundred thirty one attendees at rally rated their future For those participants who were not members organization, linked expressing values...
Past research on the social identity approach to attitude-behaviour relations has operationalized group norms as a mixture of both descriptive information (i.e. what most people do themselves) and injunctive approve of). Two experiments (Study 1=185 participants; Study 2=238 participants) were conducted tease apart relative effects norms. In studies, university students' attitudes towards current campus issues obtained, manipulated, participants' post-manipulation attitudes, behavioural...
Two aspects of the social psychology collective action are particular interest to movement organizers and activists: how motivate people engage in action, use create change. The second question remains almost untouched within psychology. present article delineates research from political science sociology concerning variables that moderate effectiveness maps these against intergroup research. Within psychology, there is a theoretical literature on what needs be done achieve change (e.g.,...

Over and above individual difference effects dominance orientation individuals' instrumental threat perceptions, insecure intergroup relations between citizens asylum seekers were proposed motivate attitudes behaviour. In addition, perceived procedural distributive fairness mediate predictors on competitiveness, serving legitimise...

Abstract Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (I. Ajzen, 1985, 1991) and referent group (student) norms identification (D. J. Terry & M. A.

This research used a revised theory of planned behavior (TPB) model, which incorporated self‐identity and past behavior—and the interaction between these constructs—in order to improve model's predictive power in relation consumer (purchasing one's preferred beer). At Time 1, respondents ( N = 108) completed measures attitudes, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, self‐identity, behavior, intentions. Behavior was assessed 1 week later.

Abstract This paper describes an emerging body of work on intergroup prosociality, drawing together parallel literatures and highlighting some the themes recent research. A broad distinction between benevolence activism serves as foundation to explore forms such charitable giving, displays empathy affirmation (positive supportive contact), allyship, solidarity. Gaps implications for future research are discussed. For example, we propose that it may be useful distinguish defined advocacy...

Behavior was measured indirectly 2 weeks after study. data show partial support for strong independence norms. Risk also...
Collective action is volatile: characterized by swift, unexpected changes in intensity, target, and forms. We conduct a detailed exploration of four reasons that these occur. First, about identities which are fluid, contested, multifaceted. As the content groups’ change, so do specific norms for identities. Second, social movements adopt new tactics, or forms collective action. Tactical may arise from identity, but also target opponent groups, relationships with targets other actors....
