Heading casing
Hi, just made some basic edits in your reference list, the lines weren't properly separated. I notice there is something wrong with your Berenguer reference, the article seems to have been updated in 2010 but your reference is 2008. U943390 (discuss • contribs) 12:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Social Movement Theory
Hi, Interesting topic! Have you considered looking at any social movement theories? There is a wealth of research on social movements, and while they're not from the psychology discipline (they're based in sociology), they may give you a good insight into social movement organisations, activists, and how they galvanise support. You could certainly use some of their research in your explanations of activism. Eg. Collective Behaviour Theory, Resource Mobilisation Theory, Political Process theory, New Social Movement Theory, Marxist approach etc. Prominent academics are Charles Tilly, Sidney Tarrow, Alain Touraine, etc. U3036889 (discuss • contribs) 04:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! This book chapter is looking fantastic! Its such an interesting topic and very well thought out - I ended up reading the whole chapter. My only suggestion would be to add a few extra hyperlinks, for example, when you are talking about Amnesty and the Salvation Army you could add a link so its easy for people to investigate those organisations further if they would like to, Im happy to do it for you if you'd like? I don't want to edit someones book chapter without their permission. Well done and good luck! U3048330 (discuss • contribs)
