3. Context Civic activism/engagement/participation is any individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern (APA, 2002). Includes a wide variety of actions, from minimally involving (so called soft activism) to highly involving (hard activism) (Brunsting & Postmes, 2002), with extremes such as: expressing an opinion, persuading others vs. participating in demonstrations, performances or sabotages. Includes a wide variety of issues: environmental, human rights, animal rights, politics, heath care… The rise of the Internet in recent decades substantially expands the forms of potential civic participation. The Internet offers the opportunity for users to share their opinions, form virtual groups and pressure the authorities without sharing physical space or direct interpersonal contact. Online and offline actions are conducted in different social environments: online activism lacks face to face interaction. Early theories stated that it reduces social/nonverbal cues and therefore is less socially influential, and more individualistic environment (Kiesler, Siegel, & McGuire, 1984). However, new empirical evidence suggests just the opposite: social identity can be salient despite the fact that group members are physically isolated. Internet is sometimes ideal environment to express group membership while individuality might be pushed to the background (Lea & Spears, 1991; Haslam, 2001). Online and offline actions require different sets of skills and, more importantly, different amount of effort: it is much easier to join a virtual than a real group, to sign an electronic than a real petition, to join a virtual than a real event.
