Riset-riset politik yang selama ini telah dilakukan menemukan adanya hubungan antara religiusitas dengan ideologi politik, di mana terdapat kecenderungan religiusitas berkorelasi tinggi dengan konservatisme. Salah satu pengaruh dari religiusitas yang sejak awal dianggap paling efektif digunakan untuk mengarahkan sikap dan tingkah laku manusia adalah narasi keagamaan. Penelitian ini ingin melihat apakah narasi keagamaan dapat memengaruhi sikap ideologi politik. Di sisi lain, kelompok pertemanan juga memiliki peran dalam menjelaskan sikap terhadap isu-isu politik, dimana salah satu mekanisme psikologis yang dapat menjelaskan pengaruh kelompok pertemanan terhadap ideologi politik ini adalah konsep realitas terbagikan. Kelompok konservatif dianggap lebih memiliki keinginan tinggi untuk membagi realitas mereka dibandingkan dengan kelompok liberal, sehingga realitas terbagikan diduga semakin meningkatkan kecenderungan konservatif pada individu yang terpapar narasi keagamaan. Penelitian ini dapat digolongkan sebagai penelitian eksplanatori, kuantitatif dan eksperimental. Terdapat total 165 partisipan (66 laki-laki dan 99 perempuan) yang dikelompokkan secara acak ke dalam dua kelompok manipulasi penelitian (between-subject design). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa paparan terhadap narasi keagamaan memengaruhi sikap ideologi politik kearah yang cenderung konservatif dan fundamentalis. Sementara, uji moderasi tidak menemukan adanya pengaruh dari realitas terbagikan terhadap kekuatan hubungan antara narasi keagamaan dengan sikap ideologi politik. Berdasarkan temuan ini, terbukti bahwa narasi keagamaan memengaruhi sikap ideologi politik individu, namun pengaruh ini tidak diperkuat oleh adanya realitas terbagikan pada diri individu.

Previous researches in politics found a relationship between religiosity and political ideology, in which there is a tendency of religiosity to highly correlated with conservatism. One main effect of religiosity that considered most effective to direct human's attitude and behavior is religious narrative. Current research would inspect if religious narrative could affect political ideology. On the other hand, peer groups also have roles on explaining attitudes towards political issues, which could be explained by a psychological mechanism called shared reality. Conservatives considered have higher motivation to share realities with liberals, so that shared reality increase the tendency of political conservatism on individual exposed to religious narrative. This study classified as explanatory, quantitative, and experimental research. A total of 165 participants (66 male and 99 female) randomly assigned to one of two manipulation groups (between-subject design). Results show that exposure of religious narrative affect political ideology attitudes toward conservatism and fundamentalism. Whilst, moderation test did not find any effect of shared reality towards the relationship between religious narrative and political ideology. These findings conclude that political ideology attitudes could be affected by religious narrative, but this effect did not enhanced by shared reality within individuals.

"ABSTRAKBeberapa waktu belakangan banyak terjadi aksi-aksi demonstrasi dan protes. Muncul pertanyaan mengapa ada orang yang berpartisipasi pada aksi kolektif dan ada yang tidak? Beberapa hasil temuan sebelumnya sudah jelas menemukan faktor motivasional aksi kolektif. Penelitian ini berusaha menggunakan perspektif yang berbeda, menggunakan pendekatan kognisi sosial, yaitu realitas terbagi (shared reality) untuk menjelaskan aksi kolektif melalui model integratif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan pengaruh realitas terbagi pada keputusan seseorang mengikuti aksi kolektif. Penelitian ini juga menguji peranan faktor lain, yaitu keterlibatan politik secara daring dan identitas terpolitisasi. Penelitian ini dirancang melalui 4 studi pada isu politik dan lingkungan hidup. Studi 1 adalah studi kualitatif untuk menganalisis konten isi status twitter pada isu #2019gantipresiden. Hasil dari analisis tematik 250 isi status twitter selama bulan April-Agustus 2018 menemukan bahwa proses keterlibatan aksi bergantung pada proses yang terjadi di media sosial (twitter). Penulis menemukan proses ini berkaitan dengan pembentukan pandangan yang sama (realitas terbagi) dan keterlibatan pada isu-isu politik. Studi 2A adalah studi survei korelasional yang dilakukan pra-kampanye pilpres 2019 pada 473 partisipan. Hasilnya, penulis menemukan realitas terbagi dapat memprediksi aksi kolektif secara langsung. Selain itu, studi 2A menemukan bahwa keterlibatan politik secara daring dapat memprediksi aksi kolektif secara langsung atau dimediasi oleh realitas terbagi. Studi 2B, studi survei korelasional yang dilakukan pasca-kampanye pilpres 2019 pada 212 partisipan. Penulis menemukan realitas terbagi tidak dapat memprediksi aksi kolektif secara langsung, tetapi harus melewati (full mediation) identitas terpolitisasi dan keterlibatan politik secara daring. Studi 3, pendekatan eksperimental, pada 377 partisipan yang diacak pada desain 3 (tanpa realitas terbagi vs. realitas terbagi individu tunggal vs. realitas terbagi kelompok) x 2 (kasus lingkungan/satwa: Paus Hiu Berau vs. kasus politis: pengelolaan terminal kontainer/pelabuhan di Jakarta oleh asing), between subject. Hasil studi 3 menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan aksi kolektif pada masing-masing kondisi. Realitas terbagi terbukti secara kausalitas menyebabkan peningkatan aksi kolektif. Aksi kolektif pada kasus lingkungan/satwa lebih tinggi secara signifikan daripada kasus politis. Berdasarkan 4 studi yang dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa realitas terbagi dapat mempengaruhi partisipasi pada aksi kolektif. Realitas terbagi dapat berperan secara langsung atau turut dipengaruhi oleh identitas terpolitisasi dan keterlibatan politik secara daring.

ABSTRACTSeveral demonstrations and protests were conducted a few time ago. The question arises why do some people participate in collective action and others don't? Some previous findings have clearly found motivational factors as predictors of collective action. This study uses a different perspective from previous studies, namely a social cognition approach. I examine the role of shared reality on collective action through an integrative model. This research aims to explain the effect of shared reality on a decision to participate in collective action. This research also examines the role of other factors: online political engagement and politicized identity. This research was designed through 4 studies on political and environmental issues. Study 1, qualitative study to analyze the content of Twitter status on the #2019gantipresiden issue. The results of a thematic analysis of 250 contents of the status of Twitter during April-August 2018 found that the process of collective action involvement depends on the online process on social media (Twitter). I found this process related to the shaping of the same view, opinions, or feeling (shared reality) and engagement on the political issue. Study 2A, the correlational study collected 473 participants on the pre-campaign period of the 2019 presidential election. As the result, I found that the shared reality and the online political engagement directly predicted collective action. I also found that shared reality partially mediated the association of online political engagement and collective action. Study 2B, the correlational study collected 212 participants on the post-campaign period of the 2019 presidential election. I found that shared reality had no significant direct effect on collective action. Shared reality had an indirect effect (full mediation) via politicized identity and online political engagement. Study 3, 377 undergraduate students completed the experimental study with 3 (non-shared reality vs individual shared reality vs group shared reality) x 2 (environmental/ wildlife vs political cases), between subject design. Study 3 found a significant difference of collective action in each condition. Shared reality had a causality effect to increase collection action intention. The mean score of the action in the environmental/ wildlife case was significantly higher than the political case. In summary, it can be concluded that shared reality activated participation in collective action. Shared reality increased the collective action intention via political identity and online political involvement.
