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：达到期望的最终状态（目标）和共同努力（合作）。我们将这两种能力概念化为一：集体行动控制。我们在两个既定框架（社会认同和规范）以及新兴的意图归因视角的背景下讨论集体行动控制中普遍存在的过程和（潜在）文化差异。我们通过讨论在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）的研究中所例证的那样。既定框架无法预测当前经验观察的模式。因此，我们呼吁通过系统的理论构建和研究来发展意图归因，以确定普遍存在的、特定于文化的集体行动控制过程。
