SummaryCollective action tendency measurement, organized by the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA; van Zomeren, Postmes and Spears, 2008), assesses the psychological predictors of willingness to engage in protest and group-based political action: perceived injustice (especially group-based anger), group efficacy, and politicized social identity. SIMCA integrates these three traditions into a structural model in which identity drives action both directly and through injustice and efficacy.Group identity measurement assesses the strength and structure of a person's psychological identification with a social group, such as a party, nation, ethnic group, or movement. The Leach et al. (2008) hierarchical multicomponent model is a leading approach, decomposing in-group identification into self-definition (individual self-stereotyping, in-group homogeneity) and self-investment (solidarity, satisfaction, centrality), measured by a validated 14-item scale.
