Advantaged groups deploy four distinct strategies toward reparative action
Evidence
In social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) terms, the first of these strategies can be seen as an example of intergroup competition. The second can be seen as a strategy for what is termed social creativity – redefining or altering elements of the comparative situation. The same might be argued for the third, but it is certainly presented by its advocates as actually a form of intergroup cooperation. The last option is most clearly a form of intergroup cooperation. — Nyla R. Branscombe and Bertjan Doosje (eds.), Collective Guilt, 806
