“…Similarly, in Study 1 from Renger et al (2020), self-respect as a Muslim predicted intention for normative protest in response to injustice in a hypothetical employment situation. The authors theorize that self-respect predicts assertive responses to injustice.…”

The construct of “meaning”, although commonly used by psychologists, does not have a formal operationalization. In this article I specify a construct of envaluation, intended to quantify individual differences in motivationally relevant aspects of meaning. An envaluation is a personal belief about consequences of an object, action, or event for a personal value. I describe predictors and consequences of envaluations, the role of envaluations in attitude formation, and potential applications of envaluations for research on values, intergroup relations, persuasion, and culture. Using envaluations to assess individual interpretations of psychological stimuli can aid in specifying and testing boundary conditions for psychological effects and improving the predictive power of psychological models. The construct of envaluations can further generate new research directions that address questions about meaning.

“…Our finding that the more money people earn, the more equal they feel in terms of basic rights is alarming (see also Young & Billings, 2020). The resulting self-evaluation of people with low SES may hinder self-assertive behavior (Renger, 2018) and protest against injustice (Renger et al, 2020), 7 which is an important cornerstone of democracies (Passini, 2011). It also hinders a sense of entitlement to legitimately participate in political discourses and to have and express political opinions more generally (Bourdieu, 1979, 1984).…”

“…Based on a social philosophical analysis, Honneth (1995Honneth ( , 2012 first distinguished between three forms of recognition experiences, need-based care, achievement-based social esteem, and equality-based respect (see also Renger et al, 2017;Simon & Grabow, 2014). Whereas social esteem (e.g., positive feedback, praise) forms individuals' self-competence (Battistelli et al, 2016;Honneth, 1995Honneth, , 2012 and care contributes to self-love (see also Bowlby, 2005), experiences of equalitybased respect shape self-respect (Möller & Danermark, 2007;Presbey, 2003;Renger et al, 2020).…”

Past research has shown that the socioeconomic status (e.g., income or education) is associated with people’s self-evaluation, such as global self-esteem. In the present research, we argue that socioeconomic status also affects people’s belief of possessing the same rights as others (i.e., self-respect). In a cross-sectional study ( N = 298) and a longitudinal study ( N = 379), we investigated the relationships between income and education with three forms of self-regard. The only consistent finding was that income was related to self-respect over time even when controlling for self-love and self-competence, the core and well-studied components of global self-esteem. We discuss the significance of our findings with regard to social justice and democracy.

“…Perceptions of inequality and injustice are known to motivate collective action among individuals (Renger et al, 2019). Much of this work has examined how these perceptions derive collective action strategies among disadvantaged groups (Duncan, 2012), however similar patterns have been observed for advantaged members (e.g.…”

There are worldwide concerns about the rise of White nationalism and its implications for intergroup relations in multicultural societies. Social media, in particular, has allowed far-right groups to easily share their perspectives with and influence others in support of their ideologies. Yet, few studies have empirically examined what psychological factors are discussed within this content to motivate collective action. A quantitative content analysis of 100 White nationalist videos on YouTube reveals that social outgroups (Muslims, immigrants, feminists) are frequently discussed as threats to Whites’ status. Not only were calls for collective action discussed in at least 12% of videos, themes surrounding White identity and injustice faced by Whites were often underlying these calls, consistent with the theoretical propositions of the Social Identity Model of Collective Action. These results are novel as they identify psychological mechanisms referenced in White nationalist social media that motivate collective actions among White Americans.
