有限的研究审查了弱势群体成员对代表他们参与集体行动的盟友的评价和支持。在两项研究中（研究1 N = 264名女性;研究2 N = 347名美国黑人），我们操纵了盟友的沟通风格和群体成员身份，以调查这些因素是否在盟友的感知和接受中发挥作用。我们发现，参与者评价盟友不太积极，不太愿意支持他们时，他们传达了他们的支持在一个主导相比，一个中立的方式。同盟国试图接管运动，使自己成为关注的中心，这种强烈的感觉解释了这些结果。然而，我们没有发现盟友是否属于另一个弱势群体的影响。我们的研究结果有助于越来越多的文献，试图了解与参与集体行动的盟友相关的复杂性。
Limited research has examined disadvantaged group members’ evaluations and support for allies who engage in collective action on their behalf. Across two studies (Study 1 N = 264 women; Study 2 N = 347 Black Americans) we manipulated an ally’s communication style and group membership to investigate whether these factors play a role in how allies are perceived and received. We found that participants evaluated allies less positively and were less willing to support them when they communicated their support in a dominant compared to a neutral way. Heightened perceptions that the ally was trying to take over the movement and make themselves the center of attention explained these results. However, we found no effect of whether the ally belonged to another disadvantaged group or not. Our findings contribute to the growing literature which seeks to understand the complexities associated with involving allies in collective action.
