This article presents the results of three studies that examine how the perceived opinions of others are related to sexual minorities’ support for social change toward greater equality. Results of two cross-sectional studies (Study 1: N = 1,220; Study 2: N = 904) reveal that perceived intolerance (i.e., perceived intolerant societal norms) is indirectly related to intentions to engage in collective action in both negative and positive ways: the negative effect was mediated by lower perceptions of perceived efficacy; positive effects were mediated by greater anger (about the legal situation and public opinion) and greater perceived need for a movement. Study 3 (N = 408) replicates this conflicting effect with a delayed outcome measure by showing that perceived intolerant norms were indirectly, both negatively and positively, associated with actual collective action engagement. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our expanded social identity model of collective action.

本文介绍了三项研究的结果，这些研究检验了他人的感知意见如何与性少数群体支持社会变革以实现更大的平等相关。两项横断面研究（研究 1：N = 1,220；研究 2：N = 904）的结果表明，感知不容忍（即感知不宽容的社会规范）与以消极和积极方式参与集体行动的意图间接相关：负面影响是由对感知功效的较低感知介导的；更大的愤怒（关于法律状况和公众舆论）和对运动的更大感知需要调节了积极影响。研究 3 ( N= 408）通过显示感知到的不宽容规范与实际的集体行动参与间接地、消极地和积极地相关联，从而复制了这种冲突效应和延迟结果测量。我们讨论了我们扩展的集体行动社会认同模型的理论和实践意义。
