Abstract

Abstract This study examined the mediating role of civic skill-acts and direct associations of group identity on intentions to engage in peaceful or radical protest actions (i.e., activism or radicalism intentions respectively). A sample of 526 university students in Hong Kong was surveyed. The findings suggested that political identity complementarily mediated the relationship between joining political activities and radicalism intentions. Religious identity and ethnic/racial identity each have an indirect-only mediation to activism as well as radicalism intentions when mediated by community activities and responding activities respectively. Finally, political identity and economic identity each have direct-only mediations to activism intentions respectively. These results suggest that although group identity and civic skill-acts uniquely contribute to protest intentions, the inter-relationship is complicated by the type of group identity, civic skill-act, and protest activity studied. Recommendations for future studies are discussed in light of the findings.

香港大学生的公民技能、群体认同和参与抗议行动的意图

摘要本研究考察了公民技能行为和群体身份的直接关联对参与和平或激进抗议行动的意图（即分别为激进主义或激进主义意图）的中介作用。调查对象为香港526名大学生。研究结果表明，政治认同在参与政治活动和激进主义意图之间起着互补的中介作用。当分别通过社区活动和应对活动进行调解时，宗教身份和民族/种族身份对激进主义和激进主义意图都有间接的唯一调解。最后，政治认同和经济认同分别对激进主义意图具有直接的中介作用。这些结果表明，尽管群体身份和公民技能行为对抗议意图有独特的贡献，但由于所研究的群体身份、公民技能行为和抗议活动的类型，这种相互关系变得复杂。根据研究结果讨论了对未来研究的建议。
