Results of the MotiKA project (HRZZ) presented at the 25th Psychology Days in Zadar; 21-23/05/2026
Results from two pilot studies, conducted during 2025 within the MotiKA project (HRZZ), were presented at the international scientific conference 25th Psychology Days in Zadar. Conference participants were introduced to the project’s objectives, as well as the findings of pilot studies carried out on a student sample and on a quota sample of Croatian citizens
During her oral presentation “From Clicks to Action: The Relationship Between Online Activism and Social Justice Intentions Among Young Adults”, research assistant Iva Sušilović (co-authors: M. Maglić, PhD, and R. Franc, PhD) presented findings showing that the frequency of online activism is associated with intentions to promote social justice among youth. The results also support the assumption that this relationship is partially explained by perceived behavioral control and perceived social norms.
A poster presentation “What Types of Collective Action Does Group Identification Lead To?” (authors: Tomislav Pavlović, PhD, Marina Maglić, PhD, Ines Sučić, PhD, Iva Sušilović, research assistant, and Renata Franc, PhD) presented findings obtained from a general population sample of Croatian citizens. The results indicate that a stronger group identity with like-minded individuals regarding a particular social issue perceived as a sacred value is associated with stronger intentions toward normative collective action. Furthermore, when combined with a stronger perception of the world as dangerous, it also explains intentions toward non-normative violent collective action.
