Whether shared ideologies raise or lower guilt depends on how they are deployed.

Evidence

To a certain extent, the importance of just intergroup relations will depend on the ideological history of privileged groups and of society more generally. For example, although the American value of equal rights for individuals was not originally meant to apply to women, as a result of feminist activism the ideology of individual rights was used to justify the granting of rights to women. On the other hand, men might use an ideology of individualism to argue that gender group interests should be ignored in favor of treating people as individuals. Such an argument is likely to reduce the importance of reparations and lower collective guilt. Thus, the importance of making reparations and the potential intensity of collective guilt depend on how values and ideologies are socially constructed, reinterpreted, and applied in specific historical contexts. — Nyla R.
