Explorations in the Theory of Social Movements and Revolutions

James C. Davis proposed an "increase or decrease" hypothesis to explain the origin of the revolution. This paper attempts to place it in a more general context to analyze social movements and conditions that create a revolution. Three additional temporal hypotheses ("rising expectation", "relative deprivation" and "descending flow") and one non-temporal hypothesis ("state mismatch") have been proposed. These five hypotheses fall under the cognitive disharmony theory. This provides a general theory of psychosocial motivation that can explain the tendency to participate in individual social movement and revolution. Predict the direction and strength of this movement
