Abstract

This work addresses collective action in the context of a social movement facing police repression in a democratic country. The movement studied was carried out in a region of southern Chile, had a very high citizen participation and deployed normative and non-normative actions. We aim to understand why people decided to participate and how they came to consider violent action as a legitimate option. We use a mixed methods approach. In a quantitative study we compare participation in normative and non-normative actions, and find they factor together as part of the same action repertoire, making it possible to speak of a continuum of participation instead of different types. We also replicate key findings of the SIMCA model, with protest participation motivated directly by anger and efficacy, but also by positive emotions. In a qualitative study we found similar results and draw out new data highlighting the relevance of the experience of repression in invoking a need for radical action and creating social cohesion among protestors.

民主背景下面临镇压的规范和非规范集体行动:智利社会运动的混合研究

这项工作解决了在民主国家面临警察镇压的社会运动背景下的集体行动。所研究的运动是在智利南部的一个地区进行的，有很高的公民参与，并采取了规范和非规范的行动。我们的目标是了解人们为什么决定参与，以及他们是如何将暴力行动视为合法选择的。我们使用混合方法。在一项定量研究中，我们比较了规范性和非规范性行为的参与，发现它们共同构成了相同行为库的一部分，这使得我们有可能谈论连续的参与，而不是不同类型的参与。我们还复制了SIMCA模型的主要发现，抗议参与直接受到愤怒和效能的激励，但也受到积极情绪的激励。在一项定性研究中，我们发现了类似的结果，并得出了新的数据，强调了镇压经历在唤起激进行动的需要和在抗议者中创造社会凝聚力方面的相关性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Social and Political Psychology (JSPP) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal (without author fees), published online. It publishes articles at the intersection of social and political psychology that substantially advance the understanding of social problems, their reduction, and the promotion of social justice. It also welcomes work that focuses on socio-political issues from related fields of psychology (e.g., peace psychology, community psychology, cultural psychology, environmental psychology, media psychology, economic psychology) and encourages submissions with interdisciplinary perspectives. JSPP is comprehensive and integrative in its approach. It publishes high-quality work from different epistemological, methodological, theoretical, and cultural perspectives and from different regions across the globe. It provides a forum for innovation, questioning of assumptions, and controversy and debate. JSPP aims to give creative impetuses for academic scholarship and for applications in education, policymaking, professional practice, and advocacy and social action. It intends to transcend the methodological and meta-theoretical divisions and paradigm clashes that characterize the field of social and political psychology, and to counterbalance the current overreliance on the hypothetico-deductive model of science, quantitative methodology, and individualistic explanations by also publishing work following alternative traditions (e.g., qualitative and mixed-methods research, participatory action research, critical psychology, social representations, narrative, and discursive approaches). Because it is published online, JSPP can avoid a bias against research that requires more space to be presented adequately.
