The Effectiveness of Joint Collective Action in Promoting Social Change

Project description

A closer look at alliances of groups that vary in power

What do we know about how collective actions challenge the status quo and shape attitudes? What psychological processes bring about social change? The EU-funded JointActionEff project will answer these questions focusing on the intergroup contexts of men and women, as well as whites and blacks in the United States and Jews and Palestinians in Israel. It will conduct eight studies combining archival research, lab experiments and intervention methodologies. The findings will shed light on why and how joint action is effective and whether it affects social change towards intergroup equality. According to the project, alliances between white and black Americans and Israelis and Palestinians are unique because they involve members of groups that vary in power.
