Affiliation with certain groups allows to simultaneously satisfy two competing needs: the need to be moderately different from others and the need to belong. We propose that the feminist movement, that has been turning towards individualistic goals based on individual empowerment, may be one of such groups for women. In three studies we examined the relationship between self-uniqueness and women's support for collective action and structural measures (i.e. sex quotas) promoted by the feminist movement. A first correlational study indicated that self-uniqueness need is positively associated with willingness to participate in collective action for gender justice generally, but not with support for sex quotas. Consistently, two experimental studies (Studies 2-3) found that priming self-uniqueness increases collective action intentions, but not quota support. Study 3 also showed that the effect of self-uniqueness on collective action intentions for gender justice may be mediated by greater perceptions of personal discrimination for being a woman and fusion with the feminist movement. These results suggest that appeals to self-uniqueness may attract women to the feminist movement but do not guarantee support for concrete collective measures against gender inequality.
与他人适度不同的需求以及归属感的需求。我们认为，已转向基于个人赋权的个人主义目标的女权运动，可能是女性的此类群体之一。在三项研究中，我们考察了自我独特性与女性对女权运动所倡导的集体行动和结构性措施（即性别配额）的支持之间的关系。第一项相关性研究表明，自我独特性需求总体上与参与性别公正集体行动的意愿呈正相关，但与对性别配额的支持无关。同样，两项实验研究（研究2 - 3）发现，启动自我独特性会增加集体行动意图，但不会增加对配额的支持。研究3还表明，自我独特性对性别公正集体行动意图的影响可能是通过对身为女性遭受个人歧视的更多感知以及与女权运动的融合来介导的。这些结果表明，诉诸自我独特性可能会吸引女性加入女权运动，但并不能保证她们支持针对性别不平等的具体集体措施。
