AB  - In the context of the financial crisis in Europe and drawing on social identity and
perceived disadvantage literature, this research explored national identification, perceived
prejudice, perceived ostracism, and anger as predictors of intentions to engage
in normative collective action and support for non‐normative and destructive
action. Correlational data were collected in Greece (N = 218), Portugal (N = 312), and
Italy (N = 211) during the financial crisis that affected several European countries in
the early 2010s. Hierarchical regressions showed that national identification, above
and beyond all other variables, positively predicted normative collective action intentions,
and negatively predicted support for non‐normative action. That is, people
who were identified more strong with their national identity were more likely
to report that they will engage in collective action to enhance the position of their
(national) in‐group, and less likely to support destructive collective action. Mediation
analyses revealed that in the case of Portugal and Italy, national identification associated
negatively with anger, while anger positively predicted normative collective
action. The findings of this research point to the importance of national identification
as a factor, that, on the one hand motivates people's mobilization toward supporting
the rights of the ingroup but on the other hand impedes the more negative and
destructive side of collective action. The contextual and instrumental role of national
identity in contexts of threat is discussed.
