Distinguishing identification dimensions improves prediction of intergroup outcomes

Evidence

To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has examined the associations of identification and group-based guilt using a multifaceted approach to identification. Studies stemming from the social identity perspective have found, however, that different dimensions of identification are differentially related to attitudes toward the out-group: For example, Ellemers et al. (1999) found that commitment alone was related to in-group favoritism in the context of a laboratory created group. Jackson (2002), examining real-life groups, found that affective ties to the in-group were more strongly correlated to in-group bias than attraction to the in-group and extent of self-categorization. Thus, these studies support our reasoning that distinguishing between different modes of identification is useful in seeking a better understanding of intergroup relations. — Sonia Roccas and Yechiel Klar and Ido Liviatan, The Paradox of Group-Based Guilt, 143
