“…First, the results show that a strong negative emotional reaction of anger, frustration and resentment leads to engagement in protest actions (hypothesis 1b). This replicates a classic finding in the relative deprivation literature and supports the most important tenet of the theory (Abrams & Grant, 2012;Dube-Simard & Guimond, 1986;Grant & Brown, 1995;Pettigrew, 2002;Runciman, 1966;Smith et al, 2012;Walker & Smith, 2002). Further, hypothesis 1c is also supported as perceived discrimination results in a stronger negative emotional reaction.…”

“…Cognitive relative deprivation results in negative emotions, particularly anger, frustration and resentment (affective collective relative deprivation-affCRD). This emotional reaction motivates support for collective actions designed to address the inequity (Abrams & Grant, 2012;Dion, 1986;DubeSimard & Guimond, 1986;Grant & Brown, 1995;Kawakami & Dion, 1995;Pettigrew, 2002;Runciman, 1966;Walker & Pettigrew, 1984;Walker & Smith, 2002).…”

In Canada, skilled immigrants with foreign credentials tend to experience difficulty in obtaining a suitable job in their chosen profession. This is because employers do not recognize the full value of such qualifications. We used structural equation modeling to test a social identity, relative deprivation, collective efficacy model in a prospective study of a sample of skilled immigrants (N = 234) disadvantaged by this ''credentialing'' problem. In this model, variables measured at time 1 successfully predicted participation in protest actions during the following 4 months, measured at time 2. First, we conceptualized the affective component of collective relative deprivation (CRD) as (i) the perception of discrimination by the majority group and (ii) the emotional reaction of anger, resentment and frustration in response to that discrimination. The results suggested that the latter positively influenced participation in protest actions but, unexpectedly, the former had the opposite effect. Second, the evidence suggested that respondents' identification with Canada, but not their cultural group, indirectly influenced such participation through collective efficacy and the two components of affective CRD. Third, the novel hypothesis that status insecurity mediates the relationship between cognitive CRD and the two components of affective CRD was supported. Finally, the results suggest that collective efficacy was a strong and direct determinant of participation in protest actions. The implications of these results for the development of an integrated social psychological theory that can predict participation in political protests are discussed.

“…Although injustice variables are perhaps more easily manipulated (e.g., Grant & Brown, 1995;Kawakami & Dion, 1993;Wright, Taylor, & Moghaddam, 1990), efficacy (e.g., Van Zomeren, 2006, Study 1), and particularly identity variables (e.g., Simon et al, 1998, Study 2) are harder to manipulate. One reason for this is that social identification with a particular group is often already too established to manipulate successfully.…”

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 sociopsychological 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 betweenpredictor 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. Keywords: collective action, injustice, efficacy, social identityWhat is it that mobilizes people to participate in social protest? This has been a key question in social science from the foundation of its various disciplines, and numerous explanations have been explored. Research has examined social movements, social groups, and experimental groups, embedded in different social contexts, and studied with different methods and measures. Although qualitative reviews of this literature are abundant (e.g., Kelly & Breinlinger, 1996;Klandermans, 1997Klandermans, , 2004Marx & Wood, 1975;McPhail, 1971;Stürmer & Simon, 2004a), there is at present no quantitative research synthesis of the literature that focuses on multiple predictors of collective action and their interrelations. This is unfortunate for several reasons.First, although the literature on this topic is large and multifaceted there is substantial scope for theoretical integration (e.g., Klandermans, 1997Klandermans, , 2004. Indeed, given recent calls for greater integration in this domain, a quantitative synthesis that evaluates and integrates these theoretical advances would seem both timely and valuable. Second, a quantitative research synthesis of psychological predictors of collective action is of interest to disciplines including psychology, sociology, political science, and economics. In such a multidisciplinary arena, a key challenge is to bridge subjective (psychological) and social (structural) perspectives on when, why, and how people engage in social protest. This challenge is underlined by several recent efforts in the literature to a...

“…It is logical to assume that those who have been directly affected by the recession and related austerity measures may develop a more defensive stance on the allocation of ODA. Grant and Brown (1995) had previously identified that individuals suffering social deprivation were more likely to dislike 'outsiders', something that may also impact upon their wider attitudes on issues such as immigration. It has been suggested that the recent economic downturn has "seen the sudden rise of 'home first' sentiments within donor countries" (Hudson & vanHeerde-Hudson, 2012, p. 5).…”

Charity begins at home? Setting a future research agenda for national identity and charitable ethnocentrism

PurposeThis conceptual paper is designed to act as a catalyst for further debate and research surrounding the relationship between national identity and donor behaviour. Whereas much research has investigated how consumer ethnocentrism impacts upon purchase decisions, this conversation has not been extended into the realm of charitable giving. Given the current political and economic debates surrounding immigration policy and European Union membership, the issue of how national identity impacts upon charitable choice appears more pertinent than ever.
