This $420,103 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development and testing of a theoretical model to explain how individuals judge public events based on their sense of alliance, values/beliefs, and preferences for order/stability. The project, conducted by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), aims to advance social-psychological understanding of how collective action events are perceived and appraised by observers. Through a series of carefully designed experiments and analyses of archival and survey data, the research will investigate the distinct causal mechanisms underlying how people form judgments about public events. The findings are expected to provide citizens with a better understanding of divergent public responses to collective action, with the goal of fostering more informed and productive discourse around these important events. No sub-awards are planned under this three-year project, which commenced on July 1, 2025.
