Collective guilt is a separate construct from personal guilt
Evidence
Once participants completed the collective guilt measure, they were asked to respond to a number of potentially relevant individual difference measures. The first set of measures was collected in order to ensure that the collective guilt subscales were empirically distinguishable from other existing personal constructs. Specifically, we wanted to ensure that the collective guilt measure was not synonymous with existing measures of personal identity-based guilt. — Nyla R.
