Testing a model of group-based control, we hypothesized that, as a response to threatened control, people strive for collective agency, leading to increased in-group norm conformity. To distinguish this mechanism from possible conservative shift we investigated liberal norms (i.e., change and anti–right-wing norms). In a field experiment (N = 82), salient personal control increased managers’ commitment to organizational change under conditions of a pro-change in-group norm. Two laboratory experiments showed control threat to heighten students’ support for educational innovations when salient in-group norms were supportive but not when they were ambivalent (N = 152), or when only out-group norms were supportive (N = 170). Applying this logic, perceived terrorist threat after a major attack predicted German students’ intention to support anti–right-wing protests for those who perceived a strong anti–right-wing norm among students (N = 74). We discuss implications for both theory and societal polarization (i...

集体转移：遵循自由的团体内规范，作为基于团体的对受到威胁的个人控制的回应

通过测试基于群体的控制模型，我们假设，作为对受到威胁的控制的回应，人们努力实现集体代理，从而导致群体内部规范一致性的提高。为了将这种机制与可能的保守转变区分开来，我们研究了自由规范（即，变更和反右翼规范）。在现场实验（N = 82）中，显着的个人控制提高了管理者在团体内部改变的条件下对组织变革的承诺。两项实验室实验显示，当显着的组内规范具有支持作用时，控制威胁会增强学生对教育创新的支持，但是当它们之间存在矛盾时（N = 152），或者只有组外规范具有支持作用（N = 170）时，控制威胁就会增加。应用这种逻辑，在一次重大袭击之后被感知为恐怖威胁，预示着德国学生打算支持那些在学生中强烈反对反右派规范的人（N = 74）。我们讨论了对理论和社会两极分化的影响（即...
