The same culturally scripted behavior reads as mature to insiders and dangerous to outsiders

Evidence

What is more important—being true to yourself and achieving personal goals or being a good group member and sacrificing for the needs of the group? Cultures provide a frame within which to answer these value priority ques­ tions. Cultures provide social representations of value systems, telling us what is good or bad, worth committing time, energy, and resources to. In this way, the lexicon we use to make sense of the world is culture-tied. … To in-group members sharing a com­ mon script of normative guidelines, culture-appropriate responses feel nor­ mal, obvious, natural, mature, and that which does not need explanation. To out-group members using a different cultural script, these same responses may appear immature, contrived, disingenuous, or even wrong and dangerous (Fiske, 1994; Triandis, 1995). — Leonard S. Newman and Ralph Erber (eds.), Understanding Genocide, 1014

Categorization

• XREF: Fiske’s warmth-by-competence stereotype content model is the direct citation here, and is the theoretical spine of Glick’s envied-outgroup argument the reader is chasing.
• DEFINE: Establishes that the shared lexicon itself, not just belief content, carries the value priorities of a culture.
