Although much is known about why people engage in collective action participation (e.g., politicized identity, group-based anger), little is known about the psychological consequences of such participation. For example, can participation in collective action facilitate attitude moralization (e.g., moralize their attitudes on the topic)? Based on the idea that collective action contexts often involve a strong social movement fighting against an immoral adversary, we propose that participating in collective action facilitates attitude moralization over time. By integrating the moralization and collective action literatures, we hypothesized that participation in collective action moralizes individuals' attitudes over time because it politicizes their identity, enrages them vis-a-vis the outgroup, and/or empowers them to achieve social change. We tested these hypotheses in a 2-year, five-wave longitudinal study (N = 1,214) in the contentious context of the Chilean student movement. We examined within-person (and between-person) changes over time and consistently found that participation in collective action predicted individual changes in moral conviction over time through politicized identification and group-based anger toward the outgroup. Furthermore, moral conviction predicted participation in collective action over time-an effect consistently explained by politicized identification. These findings are the first to show that (a) participation in collective action moralizes individuals' attitudes because it politicizes their identity and enrages them vis-a-vis the (immoral) outgroup and that (b) moralization in turn helps to better understand sustained movement participation. Theoretical implications for the literature on moralization and collective action are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

集体行动背景下的态度道德化：随着时间的推移，参与集体行动如何促进道德化。


尽管人们对人们为什么参与集体行动（例如，政治化的身份、基于群体的愤怒）了解很多，但对这种参与的心理后果知之甚少。例如，参与集体行动能否促进态度道德化（例如，将他们对该主题的态度道德化）？基于集体行动背景通常涉及与不道德的对手作斗争的强大社会运动的观点，我们建议参与集体行动会随着时间的推移促进态度道德化。通过整合道德化和集体行动文献，我们假设随着时间的推移，参与集体行动会使个人的态度道德化，因为它将他们的身份政治化，激怒他们对外群体的愤怒，和/或赋予他们实现社会变革的能力。我们在智利学生运动的有争议背景下，在一项为期 2 年的五波纵向研究 （N = 1,214） 中检验了这些假设。我们研究了人内部（和人与人之间）随时间的变化，并一致发现，参与集体行动通过政治化的认同和基于群体的对外群体的愤怒，预测了个人道德信念随时间的变化。此外，道德信念预测了随着时间的推移参与集体行动——这一效应始终可以用政治化的身份来解释。这些发现首次表明 （a） 参与集体行动使个人的态度道德化，因为它将他们的身份政治化并激怒了他们对（不道德的）外群体的愤怒，并且 （b） 道德化反过来有助于更好地理解持续的运动参与。讨论了对道德化和集体行动文献的理论意义。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
