Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between ideology and protest, challenging the asymmetric perspective that emphasises the left-wing activism. We argue that protest trends vary according to contextual factors. We test two hypotheses: (H1) attitudinal availability moderates the relationship between extreme ideology and engagement in protests; (H2) political polarization and government orientation influence ideological mobilisation. To test these hypotheses, we analysed data from the latest wave of the World Values Survey (WVS 7), using hierarchical logistic models. The results indicate that cultural polarisation affects left-wing mobilization, while political polarisation impacts the right, partially confirming the hypotheses.
