Guilt grows monotonically harder to feel as identification strengthens

Evidence

Similarly, experiencing collective guilt might be least difficult (albeit not likely) for low identifiers but increasingly difficult the more identified people are with their group. — Torsten Masson and Markus Barth, The identification-guilt paradox…, 71
