Abstract

Experiencing repression creates intense emotions and raises dilemmas about handling political action to achieve social change. Past studies suggest that mainly group-based emotions are associated with support for violent collective action while the exact influence of individual emotions remains unclear. This research compares the association of individual- versus group-based emotions with violent collective action while examining conflict context as the moderating factor. We propose to distinguish two context aspects—collective versus personal threat—determining the relative impact of individual versus group emotions on support for violence. We conducted two quantitative field studies in the Occupied Palestinian Territories during different types of conflict experience, defined by either prevalent personally experienced threat versus elevated collectively experienced threat (Study 1), or both (Study 2). Results indicate that for mainly collectively experienced threat, group (but not individual) emotions predicted violent collective action, while for personally experienced threat, individual (but not group) emotions predicted violent engagement.
通向暴力的两条道路:巴勒斯坦被占领土冲突升级过程中的个人情绪与群体情绪
经历压迫会产生强烈的情绪,并引发处理政治行动以实现社会变革的两难选择。过去的研究表明,主要基于群体的情绪与支持暴力集体行动有关,而个人情绪的确切影响仍不清楚。本研究比较了个人情绪和群体情绪与暴力集体行动的关联,同时将冲突背景作为调节因素进行研究。我们建议区分两个背景方面--集体威胁和个人威胁--决定个人情绪和群体情绪对暴力支持的相对影响。我们在巴勒斯坦被占领土的不同冲突经历中进行了两项定量实地研究,冲突经历的定义是个人经历的威胁普遍存在,而集体经历的威胁增加(研究 1),或两者兼而有之(研究 2)。结果表明,对于主要是集体经历的威胁,群体(而非个人)情绪预示着暴力集体行动,而对于个人经历的威胁,个人(而非群体)情绪预示着暴力参与。
