Multiple expiation routes make collective guilt’s consequences nonlinear and complex

Evidence

The strong support for the core model that we obtained need not blind us to the fact that matters are likely to be more complex than this simple model suggests. The consequences of collective guilt are complex because there are numerous ways of expiating guilt (apologizing and making reparations are the most obvious) and these multiple consequences can be related to each other in a variety of ways. Similarly, there may be many other antecedents of collective guilt besides those we have addressed. — Nyla R. Branscombe and Bertjan Doosje (eds.), Collective Guilt, 824
