Finding myself fast and furiously

Abstract

The present research examines how individuals’ agency-communion orientation moderates the effect of self-concept clarity on behavioral intentions for radical groups. Specifically, I propose that agency-oriented individuals show greater intentions to participate in radical groups when they experience low (vs. high) self-concept clarity, whereas communion-oriented individuals show no significant differences in intentions to participate in radical groups across levels of self-concept clarity. Moreover, I show that psychological entitlement mediates the interactive effect of agency-communion orientation and self-concept clarity on intentions to engage in behaviors for radical groups.
