Collective action will be effective in achieving broader social change goals to the extent that it influences public opinion yet the degree to which collective action "works" in changing opinion is rarely studied. Experiment 1 (n = 158) showed that, consistent with a logic of strategic non-violence, non-violent collective action more effectively conveys a sense of the illegitimacy of the issue and the efficacy of the group, thereby promoting support for future non-violent actions. Experiment 2 (n = 139) explored the moderating role of allegations of corruption. A social context of corruption effectively undermined the efficacy and legitimacy of non-violent collective action, relative to support for violence, thereby promoting (indirectly) support for future extreme action. The implications of this research, for the logic of strategic non-violence and mobilizing supportive public opinion, are discussed.
集体行动在影响公众舆论方面是有效的，从而可以实现更广泛的社会变革目标，但集体行动在改变舆论方面的有效性很少得到研究。实验 1（n = 158）表明，与战略性非暴力的逻辑一致，非暴力集体行动更有效地传达了问题的非法性和团体的有效性，从而促进了对未来非暴力行动的支持。实验 2（n = 139）探讨了腐败指控的调节作用。腐败的社会背景有效地削弱了非暴力集体行动的效力和合法性，相对于对暴力的支持，从而促进（间接）对未来极端行动的支持。本研究对于战略性非暴力的逻辑和争取支持性公众舆论的意义进行了讨论。
