In the United States, there are two competing narratives about the nation's racial history: the progress narrative and the longstanding injustice narrative. My dissertation examines the influence of these two narratives on collective action (e.g., protest) among White and Black Americans. Conducted amid the anti-racist protests of Summer 2020, Study 1 used a cross-sectional survey design to (1) develop measures of endorsement of the progress narrative and the longstanding injustice narrative, and (2) examine how endorsement of each narrative is related to collective action support, and its psychological antecedents including affective injustice, collective efficacy beliefs, and collective guilt (among White Americans). In path analyses, the longstanding injustice narrative was associated with higher affective injustice, higher efficacy beliefs, higher collective guilt (among White participants), higher movement support, and higher support for radical action; the progress narrative was associated with lower affective injustice, higher efficacy beliefs (among Black but not White participants), lower collective guilt (among White participants), lower movement support, and lower support for radical action. Studies 2 and 3 were both experimental, and aimed to examine the causal effects of narrative salience on support for different forms of collective action for racial justice, support for collective action, and its psychological antecedents. While Study 2 examined support for collective action for racial injustice in general, Study 3 examined support for collective action in response to an ambiguous racial event. Findings from Study 2 provided little support for the causal impact of narratives on general support for collective action. In Study 3, the longstanding injustice condition increased affective injustice, overall movement support, attributions of racism, and support for radical change. My dissertation provides preliminary evidence for both narratives (but especially the longstanding injustice) shaping interpretations of the racial status quo and collective action for racial justice. Consequently, it sets the groundwork for future research on related questions.
