Abstract
In September of 2022, the death of a young Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, mobilized people from all over the world to participate in different forms of collective action, such as joining protests and cutting off their hair in solidarity with the women of Iran. In the context of those events, the present study investigates the relationship between moral convictions and collective action. Because participating in collective action involves investing one’s time and effort to potentially improve conditions in the future, we propose the individual difference in social generativity (the concern for future generations) to moderate this relationship. We tested our hypotheses with a correlational study (N= 227) and found a significant association between moral conviction and collective action. Furthermore, we found that generativity was significantly positively related to collective action. However, the evidence did not show a significant moderating effect of generativity. The findings of this study successfully replicate previous research on the relationship between moral conviction and collective action and make the association applicable to the context of the 2022 Iran protests.
