Abstract
Three studies tested theidea that when social identity is salient, group-based appraisals elicit specific emotions andaction tendencies toward out-groups. Participants’ group memberships were madesalient and the collective support apparently enjoyed by the in-group was measured ormanipulated. The authors then measured anger and fear (Studies 1 and 2) and anger and contempt(Study 3), as well as the desire to move against or away from the out-group. Intergroup angerwas distinct from intergroup fear, and the inclination to act against the out-group wasdistinct from the tendency to move away from it. Participants who perceived the in-group asstrong were more likely to experience anger toward the out-group and to desire to take actionagainst it. The effects of perceived in-group strength on offensive action tendencies weremediated by anger.
