Law Enforcement in Indonesia and the Tendency to Collective Action Among College Students: Moderation of Online Political Discussions.

Indonesian college students perceive injustice as a violation offundamental moral principles, which motivates them to engage in collectiveaction. This study investigates the mediating roles of group-based anger,group efficacy, and politicized identification in the relationship betweenmoral conviction regarding law enforcement and the propensity for collectiveaction. The sample comprised 546 students. The findings demonstrate thatanger, efficacy, and political identity mediate the relationship betweenbeliefs about law enforcement and the tendency to participate in collectiveaction. However, online political discussions did not significantly increasetheir propensity to engage in collective action. The identification of anegative moderating effect of online discussions extends SIMCA theory andhighlights the complexity of mobilizing collective action in digitalenvironments.
