ABSTRACT

Collective action refers to any action that individuals undertake as group members to pursue group goals such as social change. In this chapter, we further extend the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA) by including not just (politicised) identity but also moral motivations into its core, effectively integrating who “we” are with what “we” (will not) stand for. Conceptually, we utilise self-categorisation theory’s notion of normative fit to elaborate this special relationship between the moral and identity motivations for collective action. Empirically, we review two research projects (the experimental and survey-based Value-Identity Fit Project and the longitudinal Politicisation Project) that both suggest that the SIMCA needs to be extended to include, both conceptually and empirically, a broader range of (violated) moral beliefs and a focus on identity content. We discuss key implications of expanding the core of the SIMCA for the social psychology of collective action and social change, and suggest new directions for future theorising and research in this field.

摘要

集体行动是指个人作为团体成员为追求团体目标（如社会变革）而采取的任何行动。在本章中，我们不仅将（政治化的）身份而且还将道德动机纳入其核心，从而进一步扩展了集体行动的社会认同模型（SIMCA），有效地将“我们”与“我们”（不会）的立场融为一体对于。从概念上讲，我们利用自我归类理论的规范适应性概念来阐述集体行动的道德动机与身份动机之间的特殊关系。根据经验，我们回顾了两个研究项目（基于实验和基于调查的价值认同拟合项目和纵向政治化项目））都表明SIMCA需要扩展，从概念上和经验上都应包括更广泛的（违背）道德观念和对身份内容的关注。我们讨论了扩展SIMCA核心对于集体行动和社会变革的社会心理学的关键含义，并为该领域的未来理论和研究提出了新的方向。
