The Yellow Vests in France: Psychosocial Determinants and Consequences of the Adherence to a Social Movement in a Representative Sample of the Population
2022
Overview
The aim of this research is to identify what social and psychological variables may attract people to a social protest movement, mely the Yellow Vests (YVs) in France, which origited in October 2018. This alysis, albeit correlatiol, may nevertheless give important hints to identify in an exploratory way what causal factors could lead people (a) to become a sympathizer of the movement and (b) to become a member of that movement, and what psychosocial consequences would derive from (a) and (b). Notably, the role of conspiracy beliefs and anomie will be scrutinized because of their role in fostering non-normative political violence. In this purpose, we alyzed the results of a poll conducted on a representative sample of the French population (N = 1760). This survey explored a range of respondents’ attitudes towards social issues and towards the YVs movement. Our alyses showed that adherence to the YVs movement is mainly caused by socio-economic factors (such as educatiol level, economic capital) and belonging to political extremes (far left and even more far right), relying on and probably increasing distrust toward authorities and unconventiol beliefs (paranormal and conspiracist). Ultimately, adherence to the movement seems triggered by the objective factor of dependency on a car and endorsement of conspiracist beliefs; whereas, simple sympathy is related to a less irratiol form of accusation of authorities, low subjective economic capital, and pessimism toward the future. YVs also more often use social media and Youtube, but less often use media websites and newspapers as their first source of information.
