“…Consistent with this hypothesis, perceptions of personal deprivation have been found to be related to actions that enhance one's individual status (Hafer & Olson, 1993;Kawakami & Dion, 1993), but unrelated to participation in collective actions (Barnes & Kaase, 1979;Birt & Dion, 1987;Bowen, Bowen, Gawiser & Masotti, 1968;Geschwender & Geschwender, 1973;Muller, 1973;Guimond & Dubé-Simard, 1983;Walker & Mann, 1987;Walker & Pettigrew, 1984).…”

Relative deprivation and group consciousness theories differ in their predictions of how personal discrimination and personal discontent will be related to taking collective action. According to relative deprivation theory, assessments of personal status should be unrelated to taking collective action.In contrast, group consciousness theories suggest that while perceiving personal discrimination is necessary for collective action to occur, feelings of personal discontent may inhibit it. Female students completed questionnaires assessing their perceptions of, and affective responses to personal discrimination, as well as their participation in collective actions. A hierarchical regression analysis found that personal discrimination and discontent interacted such that among women who perceived personal discrimination, women took the most collective actions when they did not feel personally discontent with their status. Implications for the relationship between negative emotions and intergroup behavior were discussed.

“…Thus, when a social self-categorization is salient, a personal self-categorization is "perceptually discounted". Indeed, there is support for this inverse relationship in that when a personal self is salient via ingroup comparisons, minority group members take actions to enhance their individual status rather than group actions, and when a social self is salient via intergroup comparisons, they are more likely to take actions to enhance the group status rather than individual actions (Hafer & Olson, 1993;Kawakami & Dion, 1993) . Thus it appears that when one level of the self-categorization is salient, the other is perceptually discounted.…”

To explain why minority group members recognize less personal than group discrimination, research has focused on cognitive processes. Although within self-categorization theory it may be argued that the discrepancy is a function of a salient social self that perceptually discounts the personal self, it can also be argued that depersonalization allows for the cognitive possibility of perceiving similar amounts of personal and group discrimination. The present study suggests that, consistent with group consciousness theories, the social self may serve to both discount as well as integrate the social self, depending on the way in which the social self is defined. Using structural equation modeling, the present study finds that defining the social self along social experiences is associated with lower personal/group discrimination discrepancy scores, which in turn are associated with greater participation in collective action. Implications for different definitions of the social self are discussed.
