Collective angst and collective action for progressive city policies: study4

We conducted this study before the second term of the presidential election in Poland in 2020. Conservative-nationalist President Andrzej Duda’s rival was Rafał Trzaskowski, the liberal Mayor of Warsaw supported by Civic Platform [pol. Platforma Obywatelska] party. 456 residents of Gdańsk participated in the study (313 women, 3 non-binary) with M age = 44.88 (SD = 14.07). Participants were recruited through the website where short information about the survey and invitation to take part in the study were placed. We measured: Collective angst, politicized collective identity, motives of the attack on President Adamowicz, place attachment, city identification, in-group continuity, collective action intention, the risk of politically motivated attack, collective angst regarding the potential victory of Andrzej Duda and Rafał Trzaskowski. Respondents used a 7-point response format (with 1 - strongly disagree, and 7 - strongly agree) for all measures.
