RETRACTED: Psychosocial pathways of collective action participation in NIMBY conflict: A regulated double mediation model

Abstract

Frequent NIMBY conflicts have seriously affected social stability and urban development. This paper aims to explore the psychosocial path of people participating in the collective action of NIMBY conflict, and to provide theoretical basis for effective governance of NIMBY conflict. By integrating the psychosocial explanatory variables related to collective action, we construct a regulated double mediation Model, which is empirically tested with 566 questionnaires from the NIMBY conflict in gaoling, China. The results show that: group relative deprivation, group emotions and group effectiveness have positive effects on people's NIMBY conflict participation tendency; group effectiveness and group emotions are important mediating variables of group relative deprivation affecting people's NIMBY conflict participation tendency; group identity has a positive adjustment effect on people's group emotions, group effectiveness, and the participation tendency of NIMBY conflict. The research indicates that group relative deprivation is the key precursor of NIMBY conflict, group emotion is the key factor driving the deterioration of NIMBY conflict, and group identity is the key factor catalyzing the occurrence of NIMBY conflict. This study helps to explain the psychological mechanism of people's participation in NIMBY conflict, and has certain implications for the prevention and governance of NIMBY conflict.

The influence of subjective socioeconomic status on inclination to offline collective action: a sequential mediation framework of group relative deprivation and online collective behavioral intentions

“…Therefore, it can be inferred that individuals with low subjective socioeconomic status may experience a heightened sense of group relative deprivation. This heightened perception of group relative deprivation is associated with increased engagement in online collective behavior and also serves as a predictive factor for actual collective action (Rotella & Mishra, 2020;Guo & Li, 2020). Despite limited prior investigations concurrently examining both group relative deprivation and online individual behavior in dual mediation analyses, existing research and theoretical frameworks suggest the feasibility of exploring the interrelationships among these variables.…”

Range dependent expected utility theory based model for NIMBY conflicts in China: An evolutionary game analysis

“…The study on the relationship between biases and behaviors is of profound significance. In addition to the uneven distribution of benefits and risks, from the perspective of motivation, Guo B et al [ 43 ] believed that the effectiveness of emotional release could provide a valid explanation for the spiraling evolution of "Chinese-style" NIMBY conflicts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the prevention and treatment of NIMBY conflicts should not only pay attention to public emotions, but also attach importance to scientific guidance of emotions.…”
