Thursday's Keynote
Professor Martijn van Zomeren
Martijn van Zomeren is Professor of Social Psychology at The University of Groningen. His theorizing and research has focused mainly on the psychology of collective action against collective disadvantage, exemplified by peaceful demonstations and petitions (e.g., against cuts on higher education), but also violent uprisings and revolts (e.g., Egypt, Tunesia, Libya). Martijn and his collaborators seeks to model the relationships between four core motivations for engagement in collective action: group identity, emotion, efficacy, and morality. The core theme in his line of theorizing and research revolves around the question of how individuals can become more active and involved in groups, and in society at large.
Martijn's current theorizing and research moves beyond the realm of collective action by focusing on the psychology of human motivation in general, connecting aspects of his earlier thinking with the accumulating insight that humans are fundamentally relational beings. Martijn has written a monograph that reconsiders and replaces the implicit axiom of individuality in theories and research on motivation with one that is grounded in social relationships. In this monograph he shows that it becomes possible to reinterpret the psychology of motivation in an integrative and even consilient way, which emphasizes the relational essence of motivational processes.
The title of his keynote is:
Motivations for and Effectiveness of Social Protest: What we know and don't know yet
Abstract
In this talk, I will outline a new psychological theory of social protest that is based on a motivational and a strategic pillar. The motivational pillar offers an integrated portrait of the protester on the basis of empirically supported core motivations for social protest (i.e, social embeddedness, identity, morality, anger and efficacy). The strategic pillar is based on emerging insights from recent research on effectiveness of social protest and on the theory's assumptions about the protester as a socially embedded actor. I will first outline what I think we know and don't know about motivations for (e.g., Agostini & Van Zomeren, 2021) and effectiveness of social protest (e.g., Shuman et al., 2023), and then apply this perspective to the case of climate protests, raising and also partially answering questions about how to motivate people to mobilize for this cause, and what kind of protests may be most effective in this case. I close with outlining directions for future research on social protest relevant to social, community and environmental psychology.
