“…However, research showed that individuals look for ingroup support only when the difficulty of the required actions that needed to be taken was moderate; that is, the goal was perceived as achievable at the group level (Fritsche et al, 2013). Previous research on stigma-based solidarity has shown a tendency to form coalitions among members of different stigmatized or disadvantaged groups (Craig & Richeson, 2012, 2016. Thus, enhancing bonds within one's own group might not be an effective coping strategy when control cannot be easily restored on an ingroup level.…”

“…So far, most literature focused on ingroups as potential providers of group agency and personal control (Stollberg, Fritsche, & Jonas, 2017;Stollberg et al, 2015). For example, persistent discrimination might be an experience that can increase perceived similarity with other groups that are targets of discrimination or stigmatization (triggering a common ingroup categorization) and elicit coalitional attitudes (Craig & Richeson, 2012, 2016. Closeness and identification with members of other groups who face similar social problems might also be an efficient way to deal with personal lack of control.…”

“…A tendency to connect with others, including potential outgroup members, should be especially appealing when belonging to a certain social category is burdened with stigmatization, as it is for example in the case of people who are unemployed (Goffman, 1963). Previous research on stigma-based solidarity has shown a tendency to form coalitions among members of different stigmatized or disadvantaged groups (Craig & Richeson, 2012, 2016. A salient disadvantaged position could trigger a common social group category with members of other social categories who are in a similar socioeconomic situation and who share a common fate or goal (Campbell, 1958;Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000).…”

“…Numerous research findings show that this group-based control restoration strategy can result in enhanced ethnocentrism, prejudice, blaming or scapegoating, and hostility towards outgroups (Becker, Wagner, & Christ, 2011;Bukowski, de Lemus, Rodriguez-Bail on, & Willis, 2017;Butz & Yogeeswaran, 2011;Fritsche et al, 2013;Greenaway, Louis, Hornsey, & Jones, 2014;Warburton, Williams, & Cairns, 2006). For example, the 2008 economic crisis also increased a tendency to get involved in social movements and group-based actions that are focused on solving social problems that are particularly sensitive to minority and diversity issues shared by different groups (e.g., the Indignados and anti-austerity movements in Spain; Portos, 2016). For example, the 2008 economic crisis also increased a tendency to get involved in social movements and group-based actions that are focused on solving social problems that are particularly sensitive to minority and diversity issues shared by different groups (e.g., the Indignados and anti-austerity movements in Spain; Portos, 2016).…”

“…However, such defensive and palliative reactions are just one possible way of coping with social and economic threats (Fritsche, Jonas, & Kessler, 2011;. For example, the 2008 economic crisis also increased a tendency to get involved in social movements and group-based actions that are focused on solving social problems that are particularly sensitive to minority and diversity issues shared by different groups (e.g., the Indignados and anti-austerity movements in Spain; Portos, 2016). In our research we examine whether experienced lack of control can also lead to more willingness to connect with people who do not belong to the same social category.…”

When personal control is threatened, people often turn to their own group and show negativity towards others. In three studies, we tested an alternative prediction that the salient lack of personal control (vs. control) experienced in the context of unemployment can lead to connectedness and more positive perception of similar others (e.g., members of groups affected by unemployment or the economic crisis). In two European countries, we found experimental (Study 1: Poland) and correlational (Study 2: Spain) evidence that a lowered sense of control of unemployed people was related to more favorable intergroup evaluations. Furthermore, when lack of control related to unemployment threat was experimentally induced, participants perceived a Greek outgroup more positively, and this effect was mediated by identification with and similarity to this group (Study 3). We discuss the role of the shared experience of collective uncontrollability in promoting positive intergroup relations.

Alliance building and eventful protests: comparing Spanish and Portuguese trajectories under the Great Recession

Social movement research has shed light on the relationship between processes of alliance building and multiple factors related to political opportunities, framing, identities, networks and resource mobilization. However, less is known about the impact of eventful protests on coalition building dynamics. Drawing on a paired comparison between the Portuguese and Spanish cycles of protest under the Great Recession, we aim at accounting for social movement alliances over time. While these countries present parallel protest dynamics until 2011, after that point two eventful protests lead each country into different trajectories. While the cycle in Portugal was marked by intermittent large protest events dominated by institutional actors, in Spain the peak of mobilization was consistently high between 2011 and 2013. When comparing these cases two factors stand out: the mobilization capacity and the autonomy of new emerging actors vis-à-vis institutional ones. Eventful protests were a key factor in articulating these elements. In Spain, the strength and autonomy of 15M assemblies and anti-austerity actors facilitated the formation of strategic alliances with trade unions. In Portugal, transversal initiatives and sustained alliances did not follow after the Geração à Rasca events. These emerged only later in the cycle, however were nonetheless hampered by overlapping membership and a lack of autonomy from institutional actors. Two original protest event analysis datasets are used to illustrate these arguments.
