    Se realizó un estudio de campo para investigar la dinámica motivacional de la participación en la protesta política. Estudios previos sugieren que la instrumentalidad, la identidad y la ira grupal son motivos que predicen la intención de participar en la protesta. Esta investigación combina en un único modelo esos motivos y la ideología. Hasta ahora ningún estudio había analizado este último modelo ni había intentado conocer el peso relativo de esos motivos. Nuestros resultados replican estudios previos al mostrar que la instrumentalidad, la identidad y la ideología además de la ira grupal motiva a la gente a participar en la protesta. Pero más importante que eso es que nuestro estudio amplia esos resultados previos al mostrar que esos factores informan de la varianza en la motivación entre participantes en la protesta. Más específicamente, la ideología resultó ser el factor motivacional más fuerte seguido de la identidad y la instrumentalidad. Junto a esos efectos principales se obtuvieron efectos de interacción entre los tres motivos y la ira grupal, lo que demuestra la necesidad de contar con modelos complejos y sofisticados.

    We conducted a study to investigate the motivational dynamics of protest participation. Previous research suggests that instrumental and identity motives together with group-based anger predict people's intentions to participate in protest. The present research combines these motives with ideology into a single model. So far, no study has tested such a model or attempted to assess the motives' relative weight. Our results replicated previous findings by showing that instrumentality, identity, and ideology together with group-based anger motivates people to participate in protest. Importantly, our study extended previous findings by showing that these factors account for variance in motivation among actual participants. More specifically, ideology appeared to be the strongest motivator of protest participation, followed by identity and instrumentality. Next to these main effects, we obtained interaction effects between the three motives and group-based anger, demonstrating the need for complex and sophisticated models.
