Exploring psychological mechanisms of collective action: Does relevance of group identity influence how people cope with collective disadvantage?
Open accessAbstract
Two studies examined how the relevance of group identity influences two psychological mechanisms of collective action: Emotion‐ and problem‐focused coping with collective disadvantage. Extending integrative theoretical model of coping with collective disadvantage, we predicted that when group identity is more relevant to disadvantaged group members, it increases their collective action tendencies through their feelings of group‐based anger about their group's disadvantage. When group identity is less relevant and hence emotion‐focused coping processes are less likely, group‐efficacy beliefs become more predictive of disadvantaged group members' collective action tendencies because people focus more instrumentally on whether collective action will be effective (and benefit them) or not. A field study and a follow‐up experiment both showed that the relevance of group identity facilitated emotion‐focused coping and moderated problem‐focused coping with collective disadvantage. We discuss these results in terms of two distinct psychological mechanisms of collective action.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
