Abstract

Psychological factors that encourage—as well as discourage—participation in social protest are often overlooked in the social sciences. In this article, we draw together recent contributions to the understanding of the social and psychological bases of political action and inaction from the perspective of system justification theory. This perspective, which builds on theory and research on the “belief in a just world,” contends that—because of underlying epistemic, existential, and relational needs to reduce uncertainty, threat, and social discord—people are motivated (to varying degrees, as a function of personality and context) to defend, bolster, and justify the legitimacy of the social, political, and economic systems on which they depend. We review evidence that, alongside political conservatism and religiosity, system justification helps to explain resistance and acquiescence to the status quo in sociopolitical contexts as diverse as Lebanon, New Zealand, Argentina, and the United States.

Danny Osborne is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Auckland. His program of research examines the intersections of intergroup relations and political psychology, focusing particularly on factors that contribute to—and impede—people’s intentions to redress inequality. He has published numerous articles in this area and has won several early career awards for his research. Before joining the School of Psychology in mid-2011, he was a PhD student at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied the effects of stereotype activation on errors in eyewitness identification.

Edgardo Etchezahar is Professor of Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires. He works at the National Scientific and Technological Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina.

Erin Hennes is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. Previously, she was a postdoctoral associate at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a fellow at Harvard University. She completed her PhD in psychology at New York University. Her research focuses on cognitive and motivational biases in information processing, primarily in the context of contemporary social justice issues such as environmental sustainability and gender and racial inequality. Specifically, she examines the consequences of the motivation to resist changes to existing sociostructural arrangements on basic psychological processes such as perceptual judgment, recall, and the evaluation of scientific and media information.
