What motivated Trump Supporters to storm the US Capitol in protest of the US Election results? We examined how different dimensions of an identification (Trump, Republican) predicted intentions to engage in activism or radicalism in the wake of the 2020 US Presidential Election. We sampled self-identified Republicans 3 weeks before (N = 273), and 10 days after (N = 277), the US Capitol Insurrection. We separately measured identification as a Republican and Trump Supporter before assessing people's perception that the 2020 Election was illegitimate. We then assessed two emotions (anger, contempt) and two forms of collective action intentions (activism, radicalism). Both studies showed that stronger Trump identification, but weaker Republican identification, predicted perceptions that the 2020 US Election was illegitimate. Perceptions of illegitimacy predicted feelings of anger and contempt, which differently predicted normative and nonnormative collective action. Results suggest that different dimensions of identification predispose people to different perceptions of events and, consequently, harbor different action intentions.

“它被操纵了”：不同类型的身份认同预示着美国 2020 年大选中的激进主义和激进主义

是什么促使特朗普支持者冲进美国国会大厦以抗议美国大选结果？我们研究了身份认同的不同维度（特朗普、共和党人）如何预测在 2020 年美国总统大选之后参与激进主义或激进主义的意图。我们在 3 周前（N  = 273）和 10 天后（N = 277)，美国国会大厦起义。在评估人们对 2020 年选举非法的看法之前，我们分别衡量了作为共和党人和特朗普支持者的身份。然后，我们评估了两种情绪（愤怒、蔑视）和两种形式的集体行动意图（激进主义、激进主义）。两项研究都表明，更强的特朗普认同，但更弱的共和党认同，预示着人们认为 2020 年美国大选是非法的。对非婚生性的看法预示着愤怒和蔑视的感觉，这对规范和非规范的集体行动有不同的预测。结果表明，不同维度的认同使人们容易对事件产生不同的看法，因此怀有不同的行动意图。
