Abstract

= .001-.01). Among LGBT+ participants, while interconnectedness decreased indifferences, it did not significantly increase collective action intentions, suggesting different mechanisms of attitude change and behavioral intention across social groups. These findings highlight the potential of interconnectedness and critical reflection as strategies to mobilize heterosexual cisgender individuals and the LGBT+ community in addressing social injustices.
