Common Ideological Roots of Speciesism and Generalized Ethnic Prejudice: The Social Dominance Human–Animal Relations Model (SD–HARM) (2016, background): “Alternatively, they can also collectively organize to challenge the status-quo and promote social change (see Becker & Tausch, 2015; van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008), which likely increases high-status group members’ perceptions of threat posed by low-status groups to existing social…”
The Single Factor Fallacy: Implications of Missing Critical Variables from an Analysis of Intergroup Contact Theory1 (2017, background): “Numerous studies demonstrate that minority members who have experienced the most intergroup contact are in general more reluctant to protest for change (Dixon et al., 2010; Saguy, Tausch, Dovidio & Pratto, 2009; Wright & Lubensky, 2008; for a review see Becker & Tausch, 2016).”
Integrating who “we” are with what “we” (will not) stand for: A further extension of the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (2018, background): “This concurs with the possibility of feedback loops between key variables in other models of collective action (Van Zomeren et al., 2012; see also Becker & Tausch, 2015), but so far those have not included a moral motivation for collective action.”

The social psychology of responses to trauma: social identity pathways associated with divergent traumatic responses (2019, background): “…one important avenue to resilience or growth may involve collective action and activism in response to the traumatic experiences (e.g., as seen in the “#metoo” and “#churchtoo” movements spearheaded by survivors of sexual abuse; Becker & Tausch, 2017; van Zomeren, Kutlaca, & Turner-Zwinkels, 2018).”
Why do youth participate in climate activism? A mixed-methods investigation of the #FridaysForFuture climate protests. (2021, background): “…research on igh-impact behaviors such as collective action can aid theory development (Lange et al., 2021; Nielsen et al., 2021; van Valkengoed et al., 2021), that has the potential for more wide-ranging impact (Bamberg et al., 2018; Becker & Tausch, 2015; Dalton, 2015; Stern & Wolske, 2017).”
