“…The present research seeks to replicate prior work investigating factors that increase willingness for social integration (Kauff et al, 2021;Paolini et al, 2018;Ron et al, 2017), extending this work to a post genocide context. Our research also builds upon prior qualitative work led by Rwandan scholars (e.g., King & Sakamoto, 2015;Ndagijimana, 2021) regarding the beneficial effects of exchanging personal conflict experiences following the Rwandan genocide. We extend this past research using quantitative methods and by asking participants directly about how willing they are to This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

“…While survivors are likely to be less open to communicating starting out, some research suggests that openness to communicating conflict experiences could be beneficial for both groups’ willingness to socially integrate after genocide. This research finds that only when members of both groups are open to sitting together and sharing their pains, are they able to address lingering resentments, attend to the needs of the other, and cooperatively work together to find solutions (King & Sakamoto, 2015; Ndagijimana, 2021). In contrast, a lack of openness to communicating after genocide is associated with intense emotional distress, such as grief and shame, and a lack of social interaction in the community (Ingabire et al, 2022).…”
