Collectively pursuing social change may help people experience a sense of agency through their group when personal control is threatened, thereby restoring their sense of control. Accordingly, we proposed and found in two studies ( = 177 & 178) that following an experimentally manipulated threat to personal control, group members conform only to ingroup norms (vs. non-norms) framed as proposing social change, but not to those framed as preserving the status quo (in Study 1, we found this only for highly identified group members). This demonstrates the importance of collectively pursued social change for group-based control processes and qualifies the widely held belief that people reject change under conditions of threat.
当个人控制权受到威胁时，共同追求社会变革可能会帮助人们通过其所在群体体验到一种能动感，从而恢复他们的控制感。因此，我们在两项研究（样本量分别为177人和178人）中提出并发现，在对个人控制权进行实验性操纵的威胁之后，群体成员只遵守被框定为提出社会变革的内群体规范（而非规范），而不遵守被框定为维持现状的规范（在研究1中，我们发现只有高度认同群体的成员才是如此）。这证明了共同追求社会变革对于基于群体的控制过程的重要性，并修正了人们普遍持有的一种观点，即人们在受到威胁的情况下会拒绝变革。
