The antecedents of collective action have received considerable attention in psychology, political science, and sociology. However, few studies have addressed the extent to which individual differences in psychological needs, motives, and traits predict collective action tendencies. In the present study, we focus on an especially important individual difference: authoritarianism. We examined three key hypotheses: (1) that authoritarianism would be associated with lower willingness to engage in collective action (net of other factors known to predict protest), (2) that the negative relationship between authoritarianism and collective action would be stronger among the politically engaged; and (3) that the negative relationship between authoritarianism and collective action would be weaker among those who lacked confidence in major social institutions. Using data from three independent waves of the World Values Survey, we find cross-national evidence supporting all three hypotheses.
集体行动的前因在心理学、政治学和社会学中受到了相当多的关注。然而，很少有研究探讨个体在心理需求、动机和特征方面的差异在多大程度上预测了集体行动倾向。在本研究中，我们关注一个特别重要的个体差异：威权主义。我们检验了三个关键假设：（1）威权主义与参与集体行动的意愿较低有关（除了已知预测抗议的其他因素之外）；（2）威权主义与集体行动之间的负相关关系在政治活跃者中更强；（3）威权主义与集体行动之间的负相关关系在那些对主要社会机构缺乏信心的人中较弱。我们使用来自世界价值观调查三个独立波次的数据，发现了支持所有三个假设的跨国证据。
