大多数基于身份的行动主义模型假设行动的动机要么是弱势身份（预测自己的群体行动主义），要么是与弱势群体团结一致（预测盟友行动主义）。他们没有考虑到同一个人的弱势和弱势认同。然而，许多活动家既有弱势群体的身份，也有弱势群体的身份。来自匈牙利和美国的两个访谈研究（N = 47）被用来研究弱势和弱势身份如何影响政治化和行动主义（包括自己的群体和盟友），通过直接和间接的边缘化和特权的经验。我们还讨论了新的身份的出现，从积极参与和这种新的积极身份递归地影响行动主义和政治化。最后，我们的分析认为，基于身份的组织可能会更成功，强调多重和交叉的身份和结构方面的劣势，而不是单一的弱势身份。
Most identity-based models of activism assume that action is motivated either by a disadvantaged identity (predicting own-group activism), or a feeling of solidarity with disadvantaged groups (predicting ally activism). They do not account for advantaged and disadvantaged identifications within the same person. Yet many activists have both advantaged and disadvantaged identities. Two interview studies from Hungary and the United States (N = 47) were used to examine how both disadvantaged and advantaged identities influence politicization and activism (both own-group and ally), via both direct and indirect experiences of marginalization and privilege. We also discuss the emergence of new identities from activist engagements and how such new activist identities recursively influence activism and politicization. We conclude our analysis by arguing that identity-based organizations may be more successful emphasizing multiple and intersecting identities and the structural aspects of disadvantages rather than singular disadvantaged identities.
