The main aim of the proposed research project is to extend and advance previous research on collective action. We aim to do this by examining the interplay between cultural dimensions in predicting willingness to engage in collective actions directed to preserve the status quo and actions for social change. Specifically, we concentrate on the following goals. (I) to explore the role of a cultural dimension of tightness-looseness as a possible moderator of the link between identification, efficacy and emotions and normative and non-normative CA; (II) to explore the role of face, honour, dignity cultural dimensions in predicting CA and to examine the role of interaction between tightness and face, honour, dignity in predicting CA; (III) to compare predictors of protests for and against the settlement of migrants in a given country, and to explore if the same psychosocial mechanism is related to CA in both cases.
