Dynamic Mechanism Of Collective Behavior Based On Social Identity Model Of Collective Behavior

The so-called mass incidents refers to the part of the people and the local Party and government departments, or a strong social group adversarial conflict "(Wang,2009), it is social stability, the most prominent social problems. At present, China scholars that mass incidents is a type of collective behavior is the current social environment of China’s typical collective behavior (Wang,2009; Yue,2010), clustering behavior refers to relatively spontaneous, unorganized and unstable behavior occurs because of some common and encouraged "(Popenoe,2003). With the changing domestic political and economic situation, a variety of social problems and social contradictions significant increase in mass incidents were stage multiple trend. The purpose of this study is based on the social psychology of the subject position, uphold the social psychology research tradition on social issues, combined with social science research collective behavior, comb through the social psychological theory on the behavior of the cluster, find what prompted the individual social and psychological factors involved in the collective behavior, thus revealing the behavior law of the cluster.The specific steps:First, the theoretical model of the dynamic mechanism of collective behavior; second, the use of scenario simulation questionnaire to collect variable data; by SEM to verify the theoretical model, that is, test the fit of the theoretical model and sample data.The results of the study are as follows:The first three research orientation. This study suggests that the collective behavior of social psychology research orientation classification, you must pay attention to three issues:(1) Theoretically speaking, the classification criteria should be sufficient theoretical basis;(2) The classification criteria should be conducive to digestion and absorption of other disciplines research collective behavior;(3) classification should cover all types of collective behavior and corresponds to the main antecedents of the dynamic mechanism of collective behavior. This study the definition of Practical Reason in Kant and Simon the process of rational basis for classification of research orientation, according to the individual behavior of Practical Reason, as well as the specific type of Practical Reason classification, the distinction between "rational" and "irrational"."Rational" individual behavioral choices made by rational processes and cognitive processes, which includes the rational pursuit of maximum utility results, as well as the process of rational pursuit of maximum psychological satisfaction as the goal; the "irrational" means to rely on instinct, intuition, emotional, emotional process of doing the behavior of the reaction process. Therefore, the collective behavior of social psychology research is divided into three types:non-rational orientation, the results of rational orientation and rational process orientation.Second, a theoretical model. Based on the model of the dynamic mechanism of the above classification of the current collective behavior:dual-path model of group efficacy and group anger integration of the results of a rational orientation, non-rational orientation, examine the main antecedents of group anger and group efficacy; group efficacy and group identity integrate the results of a rational orientation, the process of rational orientation to the dual-path model, examine the main antecedents of group effectiveness and group identity; cluster acts of social identity model integrates the three orientations, examine the antecedents of injustice is a group, the group identity the group efficacy. On this basis, the antecedents of the behavior of the integrated cluster and integrated existing models of this study the dynamic mechanism of collective behavior model. The independent variables in the model for the group-based angryrivation level, angry groups, group identity and group efficacy should be variable for the cluster of behavioral intention and collective behavior, group-based angry intermediary groups deprived of collective behavioral intention, group identity is at the core of the model.Third, the two model fitting. In this study, SEM was used to verify the proposed theoretical model, the Wuming Long provided the number of samples N for the100model indicators to examine the model test results (Wuming Long,2009). The model test results show that the model degrees of freedom equal to3(15-12=3), the overall model goodness of fit chi-square value of4.961, significant probability p=0.175>0.05, does not meet the0.05significance level to accept the null hypothesis, that the theoretical model and sample data can be fit. Chi-square degrees of freedom ratio=1.654<3.000, RMSEA=0.073<0.080, AGFI=0.922>0.900, GFI=0.984>0.900, reached the model fit the standard, indicating that the causal model diagram can be accepted, the theoretical model and sample data has a good fit. After the existing theory, the groups relative deprivation levels as group-based angry, group efficacy and group identity of the antecedent variables, propose amendments to the model. SEM examination of the correction model, the new model and sample data has a good fit.In this study, analysis of the results and discussion, the following conclusions:First, the current social psychology study has three main research orientation of the collective behavior. Irrational orientation stressed the emotional impact of collective behavior based on the level of relative deprivation groups, relative deprivation levels investigated in the empirical study groups, group-based angry injustice group group level psychological variables that the individual lost in the collective behavior of rational the psychological nature of the irrational. The results of subjective rational orientation to the human assumption of rational economic, mainly on the individual right to participate in the cluster acts cost-benefit "weigh, measure groups, members of the group goals can be achieved through joint efforts beliefs (group efficacy, group efficacy), and considered The individual is made whether the incorporation of collective behavior selection based on group efficacy assessment. A true social individual in the process of rational orientation visits, the principle of individual action is to maximize the pursuit of psychological satisfaction, emphasizing the enhancement of individual self-esteem, positive recognition and value needs of their respective groups, the behavior of individuals participating in the cluster as a continuously according to the environment and the subjective motives of meaning construction process.Second, the theoretical model of this study can well explain the variability of sample data, the theoretical model to explain the intensity of the dynamic mechanism of collective behavior. collective behavior antecedents of relative deprivation for the group level, group-based angry group identity and group efficacy, a group of events occur depends on a group, the premise of relative deprivation, individuals with similar social status or common interests and mutual recognition, there is a clear "we" and "You" awareness and distinction. Their assessment of the group to achieve the objective grasp and possibilities, and will trigger situations, due to the accumulation of long-standing dissatisfaction arising from the anger of the administrative authorities or powerful groups, in order to participate in group events.
