<P> Researchers Martijn van Zomeren , Tom Postmes , and Russell Spears conducted a meta - analysis of over 180 studies of collective action , in an attempt to integrate three dominant socio - psychological perspectives explaining antecedent conditions to this phenomenon -- injustice , efficacy , and identity . In their resultant 2008 review article , an integrative Social Identity Model of Collective Action ( SIMCA ) was proposed which accounts for interrelationships among the three predictors as well as their predictive capacities for collective action . An important assumption of this approach is that people tend to respond to subjective states of disadvantage , which may or may not flow from objective physical and social reality . </P>
