An intense love of one’s own group need not produce outgroup hatred

Evidence

Even so, it would be a mistake to view derogation and disparagement as inevitable outcomes of intergroup competition, despite the consistent actions of right-wing leaders in the U.S. Congress. As Allport (1954) and others have argued, in-group pride, in-group patriotism, and other characteristic features of in-group positivity need not spring from aggression, derogation, or other forms of socially destructive hostility toward out-groups (Bigler, Jones, & Lobliner, 1997; Brewer, 1979, 2001; Cameron, Alvarez, Ruble, & Fuligni, 2001; Cashdan, 2001; Feshbach, 1994; Hewstone, Rubin, & Willis, 2002; Hinkle & Brown, 1990; Kosterman & Feshbach, 1989; Mummendey, Klink, & Brown, 2001; Rabbie, 1992; Struch & Schwartz, 1989; Turner, Intergroup Relations and Majority or Minority Group Influence • 229 1978). — Roderick M.

Contemporary work on group identification and its implications has also explored the idea that outgroup derogation and ingroup favoritism are conceptually and empirically distinguishable (see Brown & Zagefka, ch. 4 this volume). For example, Brewer (1999, 2001) has proposed that ingroup love does not necessarily entail outgroup hatred, and that intergroup discrimination can indicate preferential treatment of the ingroup, rather than direct hostility toward outgroups. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1496 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
