Abstract

This panel explores the complex relationship between protest participation and public opinion, focusing on how protests influence attitudes, political behavior, and perceptions of legitimacy. Research shows that participation in protests can reinforce or shift participants’ policy preferences by aligning them with dominant protest frames, increasing attitude coherence on core issues, and enhancing political efficacy and engagement. Overall, the panel addresses how protests both reflect and reshape public opinion and political participation in diverse contexts.
