Attachment only predicts in-group guilt once glorification is statistically removed.
Evidence
Of particular interest in our studies is the notion of critical attachment—attachment with relatively low-level glorification. In Study 1, we captured this conjunction by statistically controlling for glorification when examining the relationship between attachment and group-based guilt. In these studies, the zero-order correlation of attachment to guilt was nearly zero. The correlation of attachment to group-based guilt became positive only after glorification was controlled for. This is consistent with our reasoning that critical attachment is positively related to group-based guilt. — Sonia Roccas and Yechiel Klar and Ido Liviatan, The Paradox of Group-Based Guilt, 95
