Abstract

Both bystanders and journalists can play important roles in mobilizing and supporting social movements. However, there are few empirical studies examining and contrasting their violent and nonviolent collective-action motivations or perspectives on social movement goals. This study presents a comparative analysis of motivations to engage or stand aside from social unrest comparing bystanders ( n = 9) and journalists ( n = 7) motivations against those of protesters ( n = 35). Thematic qualitative analysis of interview data using a Social Identity Model of Collective Action framework examined differences in motivations and goals across each group, as well as the influence of violent protest repertoires on participation behaviors. Identified barriers to participation include bystanders’ lack of issue consensus, low efficacy perceptions, and negative views of violent action. Our results also lend support to the predictive validity of collective identification, anger, and injustice in motivating participation in collective action. Journalists’ collective identity precluded overt protest participation. However, their emotional responses to injustice or violent actions generated tensions between their role obligations and desire to intervene. Implications for future research on collective-action responses to injustice are discussed.
旁观者、抗议者、记者:对不同利益相关者参与集体行动动机的定性分析
旁观者和记者都可以在动员和支持社会运动方面发挥重要作用。然而,很少有实证研究考察和对比他们的暴力和非暴力集体行动动机或对社会运动目标的看法。本研究将旁观者(n = 9)和记者(n = 7)的动机与抗议者(n = 35)的动机进行比较,对参与社会动荡或袖手旁观的动机进行了比较分析。使用集体行动框架的社会认同模型对访谈数据进行专题定性分析,研究了每个群体在动机和目标上的差异,以及暴力抗议曲目对参与行为的影响。已确定的参与障碍包括旁观者缺乏问题共识、低效能认知和对暴力行为的负面看法。我们的研究结果也支持了集体认同、愤怒和不公正在激励集体行动参与方面的预测有效性。记者的集体身份使他们无法公开参与抗议活动。然而,他们对不公正或暴力行为的情绪反应在他们的角色义务和干预愿望之间产生了紧张关系。讨论了对不公正的集体行动反应的未来研究的意义。
