In this introduction to the special issue of on "Culture and Collective Action" we emphasize the importance of the special issue topic for the development of the field. Specifically, we highlight the globalization of collective action and the internationalization of the social-psychological study of collective action, both of which point to culture as a missing link for this field. We thus propose that the next step is to move toward a proper psychology of collective action-a social psychology in which culture is an integral part. This special issue provides a first step toward such a broad and integrative psychological understanding of collective action, but comes with promises as well as problems. We discuss both the exciting synergies and some lessons to learn for the future, and conclude that a focus on culture will facilitate the development of the rich and fascinating field of the social psychology of collective action.
在这本关于“文化与集体行动”特刊的引言中，我们强调了特刊主题对该领域发展的重要性。具体而言，我们突出了集体行动的全球化以及集体行动社会心理学研究的国际化，这两者都表明文化是该领域缺失的环节。因此，我们提出下一步是迈向恰当的集体行动心理学——一种将文化作为不可或缺部分的社会心理学。这本特刊朝着对集体行动进行如此广泛且综合的心理学理解迈出了第一步，但也带来了机遇和问题。我们既讨论了令人兴奋的协同效应以及未来可吸取的一些经验教训，并且得出结论：关注文化将促进集体行动社会心理学这一丰富而迷人领域的发展。
