The stifled voice of discontent? Toward a social-psychological understanding of voice suppression and the emergence of subversive action

这项研究将提供第一次心理学洞察，了解反动子团体和最终颠覆行动是如何从剥夺人们向有关当局表达意见的机会发展起来的。通过研究拥有这种声音的愿望以及得不到这种声音的影响，我们的工作将有助于解释个人和集体行为，这些行为在许多人看来是非理性的，如果不是令人发指的，也是道德败坏的。通过这种方式，我们将能够解决ARC研究优先事项4：保护澳大利亚，保护澳大利亚免受恐怖主义和犯罪的影响。此外，由于我们预计这项研究将产生及时和有影响力的发现，它将有助于保持澳大利亚在社会心理学领域的世界领先地位。

This research will provide the first psychological insight into how reactionary sub-groups and ultimate subversive action can develop from denying people the chance to voice their views to relevant authorities. By studying both the desire to have this voice and the effects of not getting it, our work will help explain individual and collective behaviours that, to many, appear irrational if not heinous and morally corrupt. In this manner, we will be able to address the ARC Research Priority 4: Safeguarding Australia, Protecting Australia from Terrorism and Crime. Moreover, as we expect this research to yield timely and influential discoveries, it will help maintain Australia's position as a world leader in the field of social psychology.
