关注运动的互动动态，我们发现两个构念，声音和代理对“群体”感的发展至关重要，可以帮助社会运动参与者实现预期目标。当运动参与者参与各种过程，如计划和战略制定、目标导向任务的完成和其他统一活动时，声音和代理就完成了。我们考察了在不同运动背景下运作的四个社会运动组织，它们的结果不同：俄亥俄州辛辛那提市有争议的同性恋政治，俄亥俄州克利夫兰市和纽约州纽约市的草根女权主义。我们发现，如果成员能够发出统一的声音，如果领导者吸收并利用他们招募的人的优势，从而允许一种代理感，那么团体实现目标的机会就会更大。
Focusing on the interactional dynamics of movements, we find that two constructs, voice and agency are critical to the development of a sense of “groupness” and can aid social movement actors in accomplishing desired goals. Voice and agency are accomplished when movement actors engage in various processes such as planning and strategizing, completion of goal-oriented tasks and other unifying activities. We examine four social movement organizations operating in separate movement contexts with different outcomes: contested gay politics in Cincinnati, Ohio and grassroots feminism in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City, New York. We find that groups will have a better chance at achieving their goals if members are able to create a unified voice, and if leaders include and draw from the strengths of those they recruit, thus allowing a sense of agency.
