  • Understanding the 2024 Summer Riots in the UK: Three Case Studies
    John Drury, Roger Ball, Julius Cesar Alejandre, Niamh Hart, Katherine R. K. Saunders, et al.
    Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology, 2026
    ABSTRACT The wave of riots in England in summer 2024 constituted the biggest wave of disorder in the country for more than a decade. These were followed by swift policy responses, based on assumptions about the events and the participants, before any detailed empirical investigation had been carried out. There is a need for detailed description of events as a solid basis for both social psychological theory and policy. This article therefore presents case studies of the disorders in Bristol, Hanley, and Tamworth, using interviews and multiple secondary sources, to understand what happened and who was involved. Our analysis suggests that it is inaccurate to see the events as ‘protests’, since they consisted of collective attacks (on asylum seekers' accommodation and on mosques). Protagonists were ethnically white but not homogeneous. At least four different parties were involved—anti‐immigrant participants, police, counter‐protesters, the targets of the actions (asylum seekers and Muslims), and on one occasion ‘community defenders’. We compare these events to the 2011 English riots, and we specify remaining ‘unknowns’ that future research should address.

  • Providing support to increase adherence to self-isolation requirements during a public health emergency
    Mark Atkinson, Fergus Neville, Evangelos Ntontis, Stephen Reicher
    International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2025
    Isolating infected individuals plays a crucial role in controlling highly infectious diseases. However adherence to self-isolation mandates can be low. This paper uses data from three studies (total N = 1002) conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic to examine how the provision of support to individuals can facilitate increased adherence to self-isolation measures. In two experimental studies we manipulated the levels of hypothetical support provided by the UK Government and the local community, and in a survey, we collected data on actual support received from family members while self-isolating. Taken together, our results indicate that providing support for self-isolation increases both self-isolation intentions and actual behaviour. However, the effects of support were dependent on the type of support offered, the type of self-isolation required (either between households or within the household), the source of support, and the ways that all these addressed participants’ personal circumstances (in particular, caring responsibilities). For support for self-isolation to be most effective in future pandemic management, therefore, it should be tailored to address specific barriers individuals face when required to self-isolate. • Adherence to self-isolation is crucial for reducing the spread of pandemics • We examined the relationship between support and adherence to self-isolation • Providing support increases self-isolation intentions and actual behaviours • Effects of support depended on specific types of support and personal circumstances • To increase adherence, support tailored to particular needs is necessary
  • Secondary stressors and their psychosocial impacts on healthcare staff: lessons from a qualitative systematic review from the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK
    Evangelos Ntontis, Richard Williams, Katarzyna Luzynska, Abigail Wright, Anastasia Rousaki
    Bjpsych Open, 2025
    Background Extreme events (e.g. floods and disease outbreaks) can overwhelm healthcare workers (HCWs) and healthcare systems. During the COVID-19 pandemic, high levels of distress and mental ill health were reported by HCWs. Aims To examine and synthesise research findings reported in the qualitative literature regarding the stressors, and their psychosocial impacts, faced by HCWs in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide lessons for future support. Method Qualitative articles were identified in EMBASE and OVID (preregistered on PROSPERO: CRD42022304235). Studies were required to have been published between January 2021 and January 2022 and to have examined the impact of COVID-19 on UK HCWs. We included 27 articles that represented the experiences of 2640 HCWs, assessed their quality using National Institute for Health and Care Excellence criteria and integrated their findings using thematic synthesis. Results Several secondary stressors were identified, including lack of personal protective equipment, ineffective leadership and communication, high workloads and problems stemming from uncertainty and a lack of knowledge. Stressors were related to adverse psychosocial outcomes including worry, fatigue, lack of confidence in oneself and senior managers, impacts on teamwork and feeling unappreciated or that one’s needs are not recognised. Conclusions Our thematic synthesis moves beyond simply mapping stressors faced by HCWs by considering their antecedents, origins and psychosocial impacts. Utilising a theoretical framework that points towards systemic deficiencies, we argue that secondary stressors can be modified to remove their negative effects. Consequently, workforce planning should shift from focusing on individual change towards amending psychosocial environments in which HCWs work.
  • “It's that feeling that you can't get away”: Motherhood, gender inequality and the stress process during extreme events
    Evangelos Ntontis, Jennifer Monkhouse, Natalie Stokes‐Guizani, Aida Malovic, Patricio Saavedra
    British Journal of Social Psychology, 2025
    The impacts of extreme events can intersect with pre‐disaster systemic inequalities and deficiencies, exacerbating distress. This paper contributes to the existing literature by exploring the psychosocial processes through which stressors become traumatic during an extreme event. It does so by focusing on how mothers of children and/or adolescents in the United Kingdom experienced the COVID‐19 pandemic. First, qualitative interviews ( N = 15) showed that participants experienced a cluster of stressors stemming from their workplaces, partners, children's behaviours and homeschooling, which caused a sense of overload and captivity, reducing their quality of life. However, individual, interpersonal and collective forms of coping were reported. Second, quantitative survey data ( N = 621) showed that the relationship between stressors and perceived stress was mediated by feelings of overload due to excessive identity‐related tasks and caregiving responsibilities. Moreover, community identification was associated with reduced overload and perceived stress. Overall, during extreme events, people can experience distress due to being overloaded by and trapped in particular identities and identity‐related tasks, unable to perform other aspects of their social selves. We argue that social psychological analyses can be useful in tracing the complex impacts of extreme events across a range of systems and levels of analysis.
  • ‘LE BON IN EXARCHEIA’: Cultural pathology in media constructions of political crowd action in Greece
    Nikos Bozatzis, Evangelos Ntontis
    Social Psychology of Leadership and Crowds Global Perspectives, 2025
    Historical and social identity-based analyses have established that pathologising accounts of crowd phenomena are rhetorically and ideologically potent and are often levelled from and affirming a privileged class position. This chapter elucidates dimensions of cultural politics intersecting in discourses on political crowd action, be they manifested in Le Bon’s oeuvre or in contemporary media accounts of riots in Greece. Drawing on cultural studies, we suggest that the pathology trope evident in Le Bon’s treatise on crowds relates to his standing as a key intellectual figure within Orientalism in France. In modern Greece, the orientalist diagnosis cum charge of cultural pathology has been often deployed by left-of-the-centre media to frame the December 2008 riots in Athens in terms of an alleged pathology in political culture rather than in terms of societal and political antagonisms. We conclude by discussing the ideological implications of leading voices employing cultural pathology narratives in terms of shaping public discourses and representations of crowd processes and political action.
  • A SOCIAL IDENTITY MODEL OF COLLECTIVE RESILIENCE IN EMERGENT GROUPS
    John Drury, Evangelos Ntontis
    Power of Collective Resilience Against Political Violence and Repression, 2025
    This chapter describes a social identity model of collective resilience in emergent groups. The model was developed to explain how solidarity actions (social support, cooperation, and coordination) could emerge spontaneously between people with no previous connections in emergencies and disasters. We argue that the experience of common fate that can occur in emergencies and disasters forms the basis of a new shared social identity among previously unconnected people, providing resilience-related cognitions, motivations, and expectations and hence behaviours. The process is illustrated by studies of terrorist attacks, earthquakes, and floods. The model has also been applied to explain the possible effects of political violence. Recent research has also examined the boundary conditions for these emergent collective resilience processes, which tend to fade over time and which fail to fully develop when those affected do not share a common experience of the threat. Practical recommendations for facilitating and supporting collective resilience are outlined.
  • THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CROWDS AND LEADERSHIP IN THE 2021 CAPITOL INSURRECTION
    Carina Hoerst, Stephen Reicher, John Drury, S. Alexander Haslam, Fergus Neville, Evangelos Ntontis, Sara Vestergren
    Social Psychology of Leadership and Crowds Global Perspectives, 2025
    In this chapter, we draw on contemporary social-psychological research on crowds and leadership to provide a framework for understanding the violent attack on the Washington, DC, Capitol on January 6, 2021. We document the lead-up to the event, its embedding in the immediate and broader US social and political context, and analyse the impact of Donald J Trump on organised groups that attended the event and on the crowd as a whole. By illustrating a dynamic leadership—followership relationship, we contribute to an examination of the psychological processes behind what we now know as the Capitol Insurrection.
  • Mourning and orienting to the future in a liminal occasion: (Re)defining British national identity after Queen Elizabeth II's death
    Sandra Obradović, Nuria Martinez, Nandita Dhanda, Sidney Bode, Evangelos Ntontis, Mhairi Bowe, Stephen Reicher, Klara Jurstakova, Jazmin Kane, Sara Vestergren
    British Journal of Social Psychology, 2025
    In this paper, we conceptualize the days of mourning that followed the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. as constituting a liminal occasion, a moment of in‐betweenness through which we can explore sense‐making in times of transition. How do people navigate through liminal occasions, and are they always transformative? Through a rapid response ethnography ( N interviews = 64, N participants = 122), we were able to capture the raw moments within which a collective comes together, as part of a national ritual, to transition from ‘here’ to ‘there’. In our data, liminality prompted participants to strategically define British national identity and its future by positioning the Queen as representative of Britishness, her loss as a national identity loss. No longer taken for granted, participants reasserted the value of the monarchy as an apolitical and unifying feature in an otherwise divided society, characterizing the continuity of the institution as an essential part of British identity and society. The analysis illustrates how liminality offers a useful conceptual tool for addressing how temporality and change are negotiated in relation to a shared identity, and how navigating transitional moments brings with it political implications for the future.
  • The dynamics of leadership and resistance in repressive regimes: The cases of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and Polish People's Republic
    Klara Jurstakova, Evangelos Ntontis, Dennis Nigbur
    Resistance to Repression and Violence Global Psychological Perspectives, 2024
    Leadership—particularly identity leadership—remains a relatively under-researched area in the social psychological literature on resistance in violent or repressive contexts. This chapter examines how leaders mobilized overt resistance in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Polish People’s Republic. Both regimes were led by a single-party monopoly, characterized by severe repression of political and non-political activities that were perceived as threatening to the status quo, or as promoting identities inconsistent with the dominant ideology. We present an analysis of interviews and archival data, focusing on how resistance leaders overcame obstacles placed by those in power and organized resistance in the form of collective action. Leaders engaged in adaptive changes in their strategies, built a shared social identity to mobilize resistance, and gave agency to followers—allowing them to unite and sustain the movement. This chapter enhances our understanding of the psychology of leadership in mobilizing collective action under repression.
  • Social identification and risk dynamics: How perceptions of (inter)personal and collective risk impact the adoption of COVID-19 preventative behaviors
    Mark Atkinson, Fergus Neville, Evangelos Ntontis, Stephen Reicher
    Risk Analysis, 2024
    Public adoption of preventative behaviors to reduce the transmission of COVID‐19 is crucial to managing the pandemic, and so it is vital to determine what factors influence the uptake of those behaviors. Previous studies have identified COVID‐19 risk perceptions as a key factor, but this work has typically been limited both in assuming that risk means risk to the personal self, and in being reliant on self‐reported data. Drawing on the social identity approach, we conducted two online studies in which we investigated the effects of two different types of risk on preventative measure taking: risk to the personal self and risk to the collective self (i.e., members of a group with which one identifies). Both studies involved behavioral measures using innovative interactive tasks. In Study 1 (n = 199; data collected 27 May 2021), we investigated the effects of (inter)personal and collective risk on physical distancing. In Study 2 (n = 553; data collected 20 September 2021), we investigated the effects of (inter)personal and collective risk on the speed at which tests are booked as COVID‐19 symptoms develop. In both studies, we find that perceptions of collective risk, but not perceptions of (inter)personal risk, influence the extent to which preventative measures are adopted. We discuss the implications both conceptually (as they relate to both the conceptualization of risk and social identity processes) and also practically (in terms of the implications for public health communications).
