Social identity variables affect collective guilt only through perceived responsibility, legitimacy, and justice costs
Evidence
In the final chapter, Branscombe provides a social psychological process model as a means of organizing the various antecedents of collective guilt. The sequence in which these antecedents are most likely to operate when negative aspects of the ingroup’s history are salient is considered. Distal and proximal antecedents of collective guilt are distinguished, with the proximal antecedents of responsibility, legitimacy, and costs of achieving justice mediating the effects of more distal social identity variables on collective guilt. — Nyla R. Branscombe and Bertjan Doosje (eds.), Collective Guilt, 116
