An integrative social identity model of collective action (SIMCA) is developed that incorporates 3 socio-psychological perspectives on collective action. Three meta-analyses synthesized a total of 182 effects of perceived injustice, efficacy, and identity on collective action (corresponding to these socio-psychological perspectives). Results showed that, in isolation, all 3 predictors had medium-sized (and causal) effects. Moreover, results showed the importance of social identity in predicting collective action by supporting SIMCA’s key predictions that (a) affective injustice and politicized identity produced stronger effects than those of non-affective injustice and non-politicized identity; (b) identity predicted collective action against both incidental and structural disadvantages, whereas injustice and efficacy predicted collective action against incidental disadvantages better than against structural disadvantages; (c) all 3 predictors had unique medium-sized effects on collective action when controlling for between-predictor covariance; and (d) identity bridged the injustice and efficacy explanations of collective action. Results also showed more support for SIMCA than for alternative models reflecting previous attempts at theoretical integration. The authors discuss key implications for theory, practice, future research, and further integration of social and psychological perspectives on collective action.

Microaggressions, which are commonplace behavioral or verbal actions that communicate disrespect based on one’s group membership, have historically been conceptualized only in the context of race. This study examined self-investment (an aspect of identification with an important in-group), public self-regard (an aspect of collective self-esteem), and personal self-esteem as predictors of anger and dejection in response to perceived microaggressions on the basis of religious group affiliation, specifically the American Muslim community. Participants completed a survey prompting them for an experience in which they felt disrespected on the basis of their membership in the Muslim community. Results indicated that anger was felt more intensely than dejection. Self-investment served as the only significant predictor of

This study provides evidence that the effects of perceived pervasive discrimination may be dynamic over time. It was expected that participants who perceived discrimination to be highly pervasive would initially be more likely to engage in inactive coping strategies than those who perceived low pervasiveness; however, those who continued to perceive high pervasiveness over time were expected ultimately to engage in more active strategies than those perceiving low pervasiveness. Using a 28-day diary, women and ethnic minorities described their daily experiences of discrimination and indicated their appraisals of its pervasiveness as well as their coping strategies. Results showed that participants who initially perceived low pervasiveness reported more active coping and religion use as well as less behavioral disengagement than those initially perceiving high pervasiveness. However, this pattern was reversed by the end of the study. Implications for integrating time into the assessment of coping with discrimination are discussed. When the media report discrimination, it is often depicted as an isolated situation. For instance, the media often re-ferred to the “Anita Hill incident ” or the “Rodney King incident, ” thereby attaching these situations to the individ-uals themselves rather than to the larger issues of sexual harassment or systemic racism.

Although psychologists have generally conceptualized emotions in light of individual- and group- level approaches, in the current paper, we propose that there are also system-level emotional events, including both system-based emotions (experienced as a direct or indirect consequence of system-level attributes) and system-targeted emotions (reflecting evaluations that support or oppose the overarching social system). We begin by discussing how emotions are embedded in the social system and what system level functions they serve. We draw on system justification theory to understand the reciprocal relations between emotional life and ideologies that justify or challenge social systems. We then focus on three empirical propositions concerning the dynamics of system-level emotions: (I) System-based emotions reflect one’s subjective as well as objective standing in the social order; (II) System-based emotions reflect one’s subjective appraisal of the social order; and (III) System-level emotions affect action tendencies and behaviors, including behaviors that promote system stability vs. change. The investigation of system-level emotions promises to deepen our scientific understanding of the motivational dynamics of social stability and social change and to uncover the affective

Although psychologists have generally conceptualized emotions in light of individual- and grouplevel approaches, in the current paper we propose that there are also system-level emotional events, including both system-based emotions (experienced as a direct or indirect consequence of system-level characteristics) and system-targeted emotions (reflecting evaluations that support or oppose the overarching social system). We begin by discussing how emotions are embedded in the social system and what system-level functions they serve. We draw on system justification theory to understand the reciprocal relations between emotional life and ideologies that justify or challenge social systems. We then focus on three empirical propositions concerning the dynamics of systemlevel emotions: (I) System-based emotions reflect one’s subjective as well as objective standing in the social order; (II) System-based emotions reflect one’s subjective appraisal of the social order; and (III) System-level emotions affect action tendencies and behaviors, including behaviors that promote system stability versus change. The investigation of system-level emotions promises to deepen our scientific understanding of the motivational dynamics of social stability and social change and to uncover the affective dimension of system justification processes.

Abstract: The high incidence of stressor-related pathologies among stigmatized groups has been associated with experi-ences of discrimination. The present study demonstrated that following a mood priming manipulation (anger vs. sadness), an acute sex discrimination event influenced women’s (N=61) salivary cortisol levels as well as systolic (SBP) and dia-stolic (DBP) blood pressure. Among women primed to feel sad, cortisol levels declined over the course of the experimen-tal session, likely reflecting a decline of arousal. However, among those primed to feel angry the cortisol levels were sus-tained over the session, especially if they perceived the possibility of rectifying their failed status (control). As well, SBP and DBP increased following the discrimination experience irrespective of perceived control. Among women primed to feel angry, feelings of hostility were associated with higher SBP and heart rate. Evidently, sex discrimination affects stress-reactive physiological systems among women, and might thus influence vulnerability to pathology.

Imagine a female student who has decided to unwind by taking a kickboxing class at the campus gym. As her workout ends, she overhears the male instructor make a discriminatory comment to another woman in the class. What determines whether our protagonist merely shrugs and walks away, or drops her gym bag and confronts the male instructor on behalf of her fellow ingroup member and in defense of the ingroup as a whole? Denying that discrimination has occurred or “going along to get along ” with prejudiced others are frequent reactions to instances of possible and obvious discrimination (Foster, 2000; Kawakami, Dunn, Karmali, & Dovidio, 2009; Kobrynowicz & Branscombe, 1997). However, given the impor-tant benefits for the individual, group and society “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore”: Anger self-stereotyping and collective action
