Abstract
While previous research has found that moral convictions are one catalyst for collective action, the condition under which this relationship would occur is less studied. This paper investigated whether moral convictions are associated with collective action. In addition, we investigated the role of politicized identification (i.e., identification with a movement) in the relationship between moral convictions and collective action in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement. This study employed a correlational study design. A sample of first-year psychology students (N= 234) completed an online questionnaire. We found that moral convictions were not significantly associated with collective action. Secondly, politicized identification was significantly associated with collective action. Thirdly, politicized identification did not strengthen the relationship between moral convictions and collective action. To conclude, politicized identification seems to be a stronger predictor of collective action; however, more research is needed to examine its role in the relationship between moral convictions and collective action, particularly in the context of advantaged group members. Keywords: politicized identification, moral convictions, collective action, Black Lives Matter movement, racial inequality
