Replicating Study 1, tolerance for contradiction was positively correlated with collective guilt, r(179) = .15, p = .039, and with guilt assigned to Americans, r(179) = .19, p = .013. It was positively correlated with ingroup dialecticism, r(179) = .23, p = .002 (a correlation that was marginally significant in Study 1), but not with specific ingro...
Our objective was to determine if perceived overlap between historical ingroup perpetrators and the current ingroup is a trait (i.e., chronic perception) or a state (i.e., a strategic reaction). We examined the correlation between the broad overlap measure from Time 1 (a trait measure completed only by participants in the Broad first: Trait conditi...
Overview
Study 3 was intended to replicate Study 2 with a few modifications. As in Study 2, an initial sample of participants completed all trait measures at Time 1 before being invited for a second survey. The methods were identical to Study 2 except for the following changes: (1) We removed the cultural and historical continuity measures because they were unrelated to ingroup overlap in Study 2, (2) all participants completed the broad ingroup overlap measure at Time 1, and (2) ingroup dialecticism...
At Time 1, we recruited 300 participants, 266 of whom passed a multiple-choice attention check and were therefore invited to complete Time 2 the next day. Of these, 178 completed Time 2. Data from 18 were excluded because their essay answers indicated inattentive responding, leaving a final sample of 160 (78 men, 82 women; age M = 37.91, SD= 14.29)...
At Time 1, participants reported demographic information, ingroup essentialism (α = .88), ingroup threat (α = .89), the contradiction subscale of the DSS (α = .68), ingroup attachment (α = .95) and glorification (α= .91), and the one-item broad ingroup overlap measure. At Time 2, participants read about the My Lai massacre, answered the questions a...

Abstract. Collective guilt is an emotion that people experience when their social group is perceived as having perpetrated immoral acts. When collective guilt is experienced, it motivates people to make amends for the harm done. This chapter reviews the previous fifteen years of research on collective guilt in social psychology.
May 12, 2021 · The Nuremberg Trials (1945–6) sparked a wider debate on collective responsibility and guilt. Collective responsibility and guilt remains as live a topic as ever. This is usually in respect of historical or current wrongs committed by a polity or similar collective entity with which one is associated rather than by oneself.
The state of collective guilt for the atrocities committed by the grandparents, parents and older siblings of the Nachgeborenen characterised the climate of post-war West Germany. Writing in 1945 the Swiss psychologist C.G. Jung described the nature of collective guilt: ‘It cares nothing for the just and the unjust, it is the dark cloud that rises up from the scene of an unexpiated crime.
of these claims demonstrate the truth of the stronger collectivist claim. While collective guilt is clearly a social phenomenon, these descriptions of collective guilt suggest nothing more than individual emotions that are manifested “as social abilities, as ways of negotiating aspects of the social world” (Wilson 2004, 418).

Apr 1, 2020 · Abstract. People do not only feel guilty for transgressions that they are causally responsible for (i.e., personal guilt); they also feel guilty for transgressions committed by those they identify as in-group members (i.e., collective or group-based guilt). Decades of research using scenario-based imagination tasks and self-reported measures ...
