Abstract
Dans ce chapitre, nous nous interrogeons sur les motivations de la participation a l’action collective parmi les membres de groupes minoritaires, en particulier les jeunes Roms et les jeunes Ukrainiens au sein de la République tcheque. Nous partons de la littérature, dans laquelle les désavantages des groupes sont vus comme une source possible de cette motivation. Dans notre étude, les jeunes des minorités identifient la discrimination comme étant le probleme numéro un qu’ils rencontrent, associé a des sentiments de colere et de frustration. Il apparait, sur base des réponses, que ces sentiments négatifs seuls n’ont cependant pas le potentiel pour rapprocher les gens vers l’action collective. C’est plutôt la conviction que le groupe en tant que tel peut améliorer les choses (conviction d’efficacité de l’action collective) qui détermine la participation. Néanmoins, lorsque les sentiments négatifs au sujet de la discrimination accompagnent un sens fort de l’efficacité collective, la participation a encore plus de chance de se produire. Ces résultats soutiennent l’idée que les émotions de colere et de frustration peuvent servir de déclencheurs et conduire les personnes vers l’action collective.
Abstract (in English)
In this chapter we ask about motivations behind collective action participation among members of minority groups, specifically young Roma and Ukrainians in Czech Republic. We stem from the literature where group disadvantage is seen as possible source of motivation for participation (e.g. Van Zomeren et al., 2012; Van Stekelenburg & Klandermans, 2013). In our study, young people from minorities identified discrimination as number one problem that they deal with and associated it with feelings of anger and frustration. Based on responses it seems that these negative emotions alone do not hold potential to bring people closer to collective action. It is rather the belief that group as a whole can change things for better (collective efficacy belief) which predicts participation. However, when negative emotions about discrimination accompanied strong sense of collective efficacy the participation was even more likely to happen. These findings further support the idea that emotions of anger and frustration can serve as triggers and bring people to collective action.
