Summary/Abstract: The article presents a new research model of protest. It outlines the current state of concepts and research in the field of collective actions. Analysis of socio-group phenomena often associated with the initiation and development of civil protests is provided. The authors systematically examine socio-psychological constructs like the motive for justice and the feeling of injustice, the role of socio-group identity and attitudes towards involvement in collective actions, the importance of emotions, dissatisfaction and mistrust as predictors of protest behavior, and the role of social networks in protest dynamics. The article attempts to synthesise a research model with the most essential socio-psychological determinants of collective action involvement.
