Abstract Having a vision and being able to imagine socially ecologically just alternatives can motivate people for societal transformation. However, which psychological processes drive this link between the mental accessibility of collective action? We hypothesized that efficacy beliefs politicized identification form two pathways mediating effects cognitive on high‐cost activist behaviour. Two studies pooled analysis tested these hypotheses longitudinally. Data were collected in field settings: climate camp an online conference socio‐ecological visions. In line with our assumptions, across three four analysed timeframes, latent change score modelling showed changes predicted social movement identification, turn, action intentions. found clear evidence short term mixed long term. Additional analyses including participative no relevant effects. concluded ability envision may foster sense agency as members movements. These linking imagination activism are less about individual than realizing possibilities identifying groups enacting it.
