The next session of Psychology of Resistance Virtual Meetings is next Monday, December 8:

We do a Talk (15 mins) & Discussion (30 mins) session with Samaher Yehya on Palestine solidarity actions (morals, community, and diverse tactics) in the Netherlands

To register: tinyurl.com/morals-comm
Title: Morals and community as influences on collective action in light of repression among young adults in the Netherlands: A mixed-methods investigation Presenter: Samaher Yehya The rich literature on collective actioninfluences has examined these factors inisolation. Thus, the question of how differentsocial, contextual, and individual factorsinteract to influence collective action remains,particularly under perceived or actualrepressive contexts. Similarly, the dichotomouscategorization of collective action tactics intonormative (non-confrontational) and non￾normative (confrontational) collective actionremains a significant limitation in ourunderstanding of how different tacticsinterrelate. This study implements a sequentialexploratory mixed-methods design among ayoung sample of individuals active in Palestinesolidarity actions in the Netherlands (a contextthat is not generally repressive butincreasingly more repressive on Palestineactivism) to assess how (1) morals and values,(2) opinion-based identity, (3) relationship withauthority figures, and (4) sense of communityinterplay and influence different forms ofcollective action. Study 1 was a qualitativeinvestigation, with interviews that showcasedhow community and morals counteractparticipation obstacles due to perceivedrepression. Study 2 implemented anexploratory factor analysis to evaluate thefactor structure of collective action tactics, andshowed that moral obligation, perceptions ofrisk, and negative relations with authoritiespredict disruptive and confrontationalcollective action, whereas anger only predictsdisruptive collective action. Perceived riskdeterred any form of participation. Findingshighlight the importance of community inmotivating and sustaining action, even in lightof perceived repression, and the need to gobeyond a binary understanding of collectiveaction tactics.

Beyond Dichotomies: Rethinking Protest Tactics and How They Shape Allyship by Mete Sefa Uysal (university of Exeter) Peer Review as Conversation (90 Minutes) Reviewers: Yasemin Gülsüm Acar (St Andrews University) and Carmen Marazzi (Clark University) Abstract: Allyship in social movements does not emerge in a vacuum. It unfolds in contested political and moral contexts where the tactics used by marginalised groups play a critical role in shaping support from the general public. Yet, existing scholarship often collapses diverse protest forms into binary categories like normative vs. nonnormative or conventional vs. radical. Recent studies on confrontational collective action (Uysal et al., 2024,2025) challenge existing categorisations that treat protest tactics as fixed and morally preferable over one another. It sees protest tactics as a continuum in which they coexist within activists’ repertoires of resistance and shifts the focus to the conditions under which individuals transition between tactics against repression. Following this critique, I aim to discuss when confrontational and disruptive actions hinder and catalyse solidarity and allyship, rather than treating them as inherently alienating.

We start with an interactive workshop to diversify our methodological toolbox to better investigate forms of resistance and repression in different contexts.
To register: tinyurl.com/resistancere...
Psychological Research on Resistance and Repression: A Research Method Bazaar Interactive Workshop (90 mins) Led by Aya Adra, Fouad Bou Zeineddine, canan coşkan, Ali Teymoori, and Johanna Ray Vollhardt) Monday, Oct 13, 2025 Many questions in social psychological research on resistance and repression have not been systematically addressed– in part because of the methodological limitations and rigidities in the field, in addition to practical and ethical considerations. For example, how does one examine covert resistance under conditions of surveillance and risk, how does one access forms of everyday resistance that may not be articulated as such, how does one conduct research on resistance that is under repression without creating further risk or harm to the participant and/or to the research team, how does one access information about resistance under extremely violent and most repressive conditions, such as genocide? This session is an interactive methods workshop, a bazaar of ideas and research experience, where participants will share and swap knowledge about underutilized methods that have been or could be used to examine different forms of resistance (above all those forms of resistance that are understudied) in various contexts of violence and repression. The organizers will bring examples of a relevant, underutilized research method and share it with participants in a brief (5 min) blitz presentation. We also invite participants (optional, not required for participation) to bring along their methods, ideas, suggestions, questions and dilemmas, and experiences to share (5 mins max), with or without a slide or two. We will also discuss more general, overarching questions related to methodological limitations in research on resistance and repression and ways to address these. 7.00 am NYC, 8.00 Santiago (Chile), 12 (noon) London, 13.00 Barcelona, 14.00 Ramallah & Istanbul, 16.30 New Delhi, 19.00 Manila, 21.00 Brisbane.

There are always "life jacket" works that save one's time and energy when reviewing papers in one's area of specialization.

For me, this is one of them in reviewing psychological work on Turkish-Kurdish intergroup relations. Kudos to the authors!
