DYNAMICS OF DEMAND
Motivational Constellations
Over the past 20 years, several models have been proposed to integrate concepts like
grievances, efficacy, identity, and emotions into motivational explanations for protest
participation.
Dual Pathway Models
Simon et al. distinguished between an instrumental pathway based on cost/benefit
calculations and an identity pathway based on identification processes. Both
pathways independently predict willingness to participate.
Van Zomeren et al. proposed an instrumental pathway guided by group efficacy
beliefs and an emotion-focused pathway fueled by group-based anger over perceived
injustices. Both pathways independently explain participation.
Van Stekelenburg et al. developed a model with four pathways: instrumental,
identity, ideological, and anger. The instrumental route involves efficacy and
expectations about success. The identity route stems from identification with the
movement. The ideological route arises when values are threatened. The anger route
is driven by emotions over grievances.
In all three models, identification plays a key integrative role in developing the shared
grievances and emotions underlying protest motivations.
Integrating Concepts into Motivational Models
Van Stekelenburg & Klandermans proposed a motivational model that gives
identification a central, integrating role.
Shared grievances and emotions require a shared identity. Identification enables
collective sensemaking.
Their model includes instrumental, identity, ideological, and anger routes to explain
protest participation.
The strength of motivation depends on the extent to which shared interests are
threatened, shared values violated, and shared anger felt.
Overcoming Free Rider Dilemma
The instrumental route points to selective incentives and optimistic expectations.
The identity route involves an inner obligation and group loyalty stemming from
identification.
The ideological route creates an inner moral obligation to act with integrity.
The anger route enables emotion regulation through participation.
These inner motivations help overcome free rider tendencies.
Consensual Issues and Dual Motivations
Sudden tragic events like accidents or violence can create communal outrage and
solidarity around a consensual issue.
Research suggests two dual motivations in "solidarity marches" following such
events:
Self-directed moral cleansing to cope with threat to belief in a just world
Other-directed justice restoration to express empathy and anger
These dual motivations influence desires for symbolic action.
Why People Don't Participate
There are several key reasons why people may fail to participate:
Failed Mobilization
Consensus mobilization fails to create sympathizers for the cause.
Action mobilization does not successfully target, motivate, or enable sympathizers.
Demotivating Contexts
Authoritarian systems deter participation through repression.
Belief in a just world and social dominance encourage acceptance of status quo.
Fear of uncertainty keeps people inactive.
Unsupportive Social Milieus
Individuals follow norms of families and friends. Disapproving environments hinder
participation.
Most nonparticipants come from disapproving milieus, while participants come from
approving ones.
Group norms shape mobilization potential and motivational dynamics.

identification a central, integrating role.
Shared grievances and emotions require a shared identity. Identification enables
collective sensemaking.
Their model includes instrumental, identity, ideological, and anger routes to explain
protest participation.
The strength of motivation depends on the extent to which shared interests are
threatened, shared values violated, and shared anger felt.
Overcoming Free Rider Dilemma
The instrumental route points to selective incentives and optimistic expectations.
The identity route involves an inner obligation and group loyalty stemming from
identification.
The ideological route creates an inner moral obligation to act with integrity.
The anger route enables emotion regulation through participation.
These inner motivations help overcome free rider tendencies.
Consensual Issues and Dual Motivations
Sudden tragic events like accidents or violence can create communal outrage and
solidarity around a consensual issue.
Research suggests two dual motivations in "solidarity marches" following such
events:
Self-directed moral cleansing to cope with threat to belief in a just world
Other-directed justice restoration to express empathy and anger
These dual motivations influence desires for symbolic action.
Why People Don't Participate
There are several key reasons why people may fail to participate:
Failed Mobilization
Consensus mobilization fails to create sympathizers for the cause.
Action mobilization does not successfully target, motivate, or enable sympathizers.
Demotivating Contexts
Authoritarian systems deter participation through repression.
Belief in a just world and social dominance encourage acceptance of status quo.
Fear of uncertainty keeps people inactive.
Unsupportive Social Milieus
Individuals follow norms of families and friends. Disapproving environments hinder
participation.
Most nonparticipants come from disapproving milieus, while participants come from
approving ones.
Group norms shape mobilization potential and motivational dynamics.
Dual Pathway Models
Simon et al. distinguished between an instrumental pathway based on cost/benefit
calculations and an identity pathway based on identification processes. Both
pathways independently predict willingness to participate.
Van Zomeren et al. proposed an instrumental pathway guided by group efficacy
beliefs and an emotion-focused pathway fueled by group-based anger over perceived
injustices. Both pathways independently explain participation.
Van Stekelenburg et al. developed a model with four pathways: instrumental,
identity, ideological, and anger. The instrumental route involves efficacy and
expectations about success. The identity route stems from identification with the
movement. The ideological route arises when values are threatened. The anger route
is driven by emotions over grievances.
In all three models, identification plays a key integrative role in developing the shared
grievances and emotions underlying protest motivations.

These dual motivations influence desires for symbolic action.
Why People Don't Participate
There are several key reasons why people may fail to participate:
Failed Mobilization
Consensus mobilization fails to create sympathizers for the cause.
Action mobilization does not successfully target, motivate, or enable sympathizers.
Demotivating Contexts
Authoritarian systems deter participation through repression.
Belief in a just world and social dominance encourage acceptance of status quo.
Fear of uncertainty keeps people inactive.
Unsupportive Social Milieus
Individuals follow norms of families and friends. Disapproving environments hinder
participation.
Most nonparticipants come from disapproving milieus, while participants come from
approving ones.
Group norms shape mobilization potential and motivational dynamics.
Dual Pathway Models
Simon et al. distinguished between an instrumental pathway based on cost/benefit
calculations and an identity pathway based on identification processes. Both
pathways independently predict willingness to participate.
Van Zomeren et al. proposed an instrumental pathway guided by group efficacy
beliefs and an emotion-focused pathway fueled by group-based anger over perceived
injustices. Both pathways independently explain participation.
Van Stekelenburg et al. developed a model with four pathways: instrumental,
identity, ideological, and anger. The instrumental route involves efficacy and
expectations about success. The identity route stems from identification with the
movement. The ideological route arises when values are threatened. The anger route
is driven by emotions over grievances.
In all three models, identification plays a key integrative role in developing the shared
grievances and emotions underlying protest motivations.
Integrating Concepts into Motivational Models
Van Stekelenburg & Klandermans proposed a motivational model that gives
identification a central, integrating role.
Shared grievances and emotions require a shared identity. Identification enables
collective sensemaking.
Their model includes instrumental, identity, ideological, and anger routes to explain
protest participation.
The strength of motivation depends on the extent to which shared interests are
threatened, shared values violated, and shared anger felt.
Overcoming Free Rider Dilemma
The instrumental route points to selective incentives and optimistic expectations.
The identity route involves an inner obligation and group loyalty stemming from
identification.
The ideological route creates an inner moral obligation to act with integrity.
The anger route enables emotion regulation through participation.
These inner motivations help overcome free rider tendencies.
Consensual Issues and Dual Motivations
Sudden tragic events like accidents or violence can create communal outrage and
solidarity around a consensual issue.
Research suggests two dual motivations in "solidarity marches" following such
events:
Self-directed moral cleansing to cope with threat to belief in a just world
Other-directed justice restoration to express empathy and anger
These dual motivations influence desires for symbolic action.

beliefs and an emotion-focused pathway fueled by group-based anger over perceived
injustices. Both pathways independently explain participation.
Van Stekelenburg et al. developed a model with four pathways: instrumental,
identity, ideological, and anger. The instrumental route involves efficacy and
expectations about success. The identity route stems from identification with the
movement. The ideological route arises when values are threatened. The anger route
is driven by emotions over grievances.
In all three models, identification plays a key integrative role in developing the shared
grievances and emotions underlying protest motivations.
Integrating Concepts into Motivational Models
Van Stekelenburg & Klandermans proposed a motivational model that gives
identification a central, integrating role.
Shared grievances and emotions require a shared identity. Identification enables
collective sensemaking.
Their model includes instrumental, identity, ideological, and anger routes to explain
protest participation.
The strength of motivation depends on the extent to which shared interests are
threatened, shared values violated, and shared anger felt.
Overcoming Free Rider Dilemma
The instrumental route points to selective incentives and optimistic expectations.
The identity route involves an inner obligation and group loyalty stemming from
identification.
The ideological route creates an inner moral obligation to act with integrity.
The anger route enables emotion regulation through participation.
These inner motivations help overcome free rider tendencies.
Consensual Issues and Dual Motivations
Sudden tragic events like accidents or violence can create communal outrage and
solidarity around a consensual issue.
Research suggests two dual motivations in "solidarity marches" following such
events:
Self-directed moral cleansing to cope with threat to belief in a just world
Other-directed justice restoration to express empathy and anger
These dual motivations influence desires for symbolic action.
Why People Don't Participate
There are several key reasons why people may fail to participate:
Failed Mobilization
Consensus mobilization fails to create sympathizers for the cause.
Action mobilization does not successfully target, motivate, or enable sympathizers.
Demotivating Contexts
Authoritarian systems deter participation through repression.
Belief in a just world and social dominance encourage acceptance of status quo.
Fear of uncertainty keeps people inactive.
Unsupportive Social Milieus
Individuals follow norms of families and friends. Disapproving environments hinder
participation.
Most nonparticipants come from disapproving milieus, while participants come from
approving ones.
Group norms shape mobilization potential and motivational dynamics.
Dual Pathway Models
Simon et al. distinguished between an instrumental pathway based on cost/benefit
calculations and an identity pathway based on identification processes. Both
pathways independently predict willingness to participate.

Conclusion
Understanding the demand side and mobilization potential is crucial for explaining
protest participation.
Changing connectivity through social media raises new questions about identity
formation, politicization, polarization, and more.
A social psychological approach focused on subjective perceptions, meanings, and
motivations provides insight on the micro-foundations of protest.
