Glorification uniquely suppresses justice demands when the perpetrator is one’s own group

Evidence

Most importantly, as expected, the interaction between condition and glorification was significant, F(1, 294) = 5.77, p < .05, η2 = . (see Figure 1). Demands for justice in the two conditions differed among low glorifiers (1 SD below the mean), t(294) = -2.14, p < .05, as well as among high glorifiers (1 SD above the mean), t(294) = -6.26, p < .001, with lower demands for justice in the ingroup-perpetrator as compared to the outgroup-perpetrator condition (Ms = 5.32 and 5.81 for low glorifiers, and Ms = 4.20 and 5.60 for high glorifiers), but this effect was much stronger among high glorifiers than among low glorifiers. Looking at the same result from a different angle, glorification did not predict justice in the outgroup-perpetrator condition, β = -.08, t(294) = -0.89, p > .10, but it did so in the ingroup-perpetrator condition, β = -.42, t(294) = -3.94, p < .001. — Bernhard Leidner et al., Ingroup Glorification, Moral…, 49
