A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
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
