ABSTRACT
This research examines the relationship between self- and group-based emotions and non-normative collective action. We hypothesise that self-based emotions (anger, contempt, pride and bravery) do not affect non-normative collective action, but group-based emotions (anger, contempt, pride and bravery) do. We also hypothesise that contempt and bravery are predictors of non-normative collective action. Participating in this study were 462 Muslim students, 292 of whom affiliate to a particular Islamic group. The research results support the hypotheses and show that, among Muslim students, non-normative collective action is significantly predicted by group-based emotion rather than by self-based emotion. Specifically, group-based contempt significantly predicts non-normative collective action.
