Social identity theory (SIT): Collective action theory

SIT believes that individuals in the low-status group are more likely to participate in collective action if they believe that they are unable to reach the high-status group. The position of low-status should be perceived as undeserved. The idea that the inequality or injustice is unstable and thus able to be changed through social movements. These three factors together help create a strong motivation for change.
