Abstract

Social psychological research has taught us a lot about why people protest. This entry provides a theoretical and empirical overview, and discusses grievances, efficacy, identification, emotions, and social embeddedness. We close the entry by highlighting a few contemporary approaches, on protests regarding consensual rather than conflictual issues, in repressive contexts, and the social psychological effects of protest participation.
