Abstract
Previous research showed that moral convictions are a key predictor for collective action. However, the condition under which this occurs, are less studied. In this study, we investigated whether moral conviction was positively associated with collective action. Furthermore, we hypothesized that social connectedness was positively associated with collective action. Lastly, we hypothesized social connectedness would moderate the relationship between moral conviction and collective action. We conducted a correlational study in the context of the “Iran Revolution” movement. We recruited 227 first year psychology students who filled out an online survey. In line with our first hypothesis, we found that moral conviction was positively associated with collective action. In contrast to our second hypothesis, we found that social connectedness was not associated with collective action. Furthermore, social connectedness did not moderate the relationship between moral conviction and collective action. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed. Keywords: moral conviction, collective action, social connectedness, Iran Revolution
