Groups experience collective autonomy restriction whenever they perceive that other groups attempt to limit the freedom of their group to determine and express its own identity. We argue that collective autonomy restriction motivates groups (both structurally advantaged and disadvantaged) to improve their power position within the social hierarchy. Four studies spanning real-world (Studies 1 and 2) and lab-based (Studies 3 and 4) intergroup contexts supported these ideas. In Study 1 (N = 311), Black Americans' (a relatively disadvantaged group) experience of collective autonomy restriction was associated with greater support for collective action, and less system justification. In Study 2, we replicated these findings with another sample of Black Americans (N = 292). We also found that collective autonomy restriction was positively associated with White Americans' (a relatively advantaged group, N = 294) support for collective action and ideologies that bolster White's dominant position. In Study 3 (N = 387, 97 groups), groups that were susceptible to being controlled by a high-power group (i.e., were of low structural power) desired group power more when their collective autonomy was restricted (vs. supported). In Study 4 (N = 803, 257 groups) experiencing collective autonomy restriction (vs. support) increased low-power group members' support of collective action, decreased system justification, and evoked hostile emotions, both when groups were and were not materially exploited (by being tasked with more than their fair share of work). Across studies, we differentiate collective autonomy restriction from structural group power, other forms of injustice, group agency, and group identification. These findings indicate that collective autonomy restriction uniquely motivates collective behavior. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

确定我们的命运：限制集体自治会促进集体行动吗？

每当群体意识到其他群体试图限制他们的群体确定和表达自己的身份的自由时，他们就会受到集体自治的限制。我们认为，集体自治限制会激发群体（在结构上处于有利和不利地位）的群体，以改善其在社会等级制度中的权力地位。四项横跨现实世界（研究1和2）和基于实验室（研究3和4）的群体间环境的研究支持了这些观点。在研究1（N = 311）中，美国黑人（一个相对处境不利的群体）对集体自治的限制经验与对集体行动的更多支持和更少的系统合理性相关。在研究2中，我们用另一个美国黑人样本（N = 292）重复了这些发现。我们还发现，集体自治的限制与白人美国人（相对优势的群体，N = 294）对集体行动和支持白人统治地位的意识形态的支持正相关。在研究3中（N = 387，共97个小组），当集体自治受到限制时（相对于支持者），那些容易受到高权力团体控制（即结构性权力低）的团体更希望获得团体权力。在研究4（N = 803，257个小组）中，遇到集体自治限制（与支持相比），增加了低功率小组成员对集体行动的支持，减少了系统论据，并引起了敌对情绪，无论是在群体中还是在没有实质性利用群体的情况下（通过承担更多的工作职责）。在各种研究中 我们将集体自治的限制与结构性的集团权力，其他形式的不公正，集团代理和集团认同区分开来。这些发现表明，集体自治限制是唯一激发集体行为的动力。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
