A dynamic model of engagement in normative and non-normative collective action: Psychological antecedents, consequences, and barriers (2015, background): “Central to such action seems to be the formation of a shared identity with the disadvantaged (see Subašić et al., 2008; Thomas et al., 2012) against a common opponent (e.g., the government, a racist group).”
Four Core Social‐Psychological Motivations to Undertake Collective Action (2013, background): “Finally, Thomas, Mavor, and McGarty (2012) found support for the SIMCA at the correlational level in three studies about support for developing nations among Australian student, university community, and community samples.”
