Humans have two superpowers: reaching desired end-states (goals) and working together (cooperation). We conceptualize these two capabilities as one: collective action control. We discuss ubiquitous processes and (potential) cultural differences in collective action control in the context of two established frameworks—social identity and norms—as well as an emerging attribution of intent perspective. We illustrate collective action control processes by discussing responses to critical feedback during goal pursuit, as exemplified in research on the rejection of intergroup criticism (Intergroup Sensitivity Effect). Established frameworks did not predict the pattern of current empirical observations. We therefore call for developing the attribution of intent account through systematic theory building and research to identify the ubiquitous and culture-specific processes of collective action control.

集体行动控制：无处不在的流程和文化差异


人类有两种超能力：达到所需的最终状态（目标）和共同努力（合作）。我们将这两种能力概念化为一种能力：集体行动控制。我们在两个既定框架（社会身份和规范）以及新兴的意图归因视角的背景下讨论了集体行动控制中无处不在的过程和（潜在的）文化差异。我们通过讨论目标追求过程中对批评反馈的反应来说明集体行动控制过程，如拒绝群体间批评（群体间敏感性效应）的研究中所体现的那样。已建立的框架并不能预测当前实证观察的模式。因此，我们呼吁通过系统的理论构建和研究来发展意图账户的归因，以确定集体行动控制的普遍存在和文化特定过程。
