“…Although prejudice is typically measured in terms of an attitude-that is, on a single dimension of valence, ranging from negative to positive-attitudes are often not fine-grained enough to predict specific behaviors; for example, when do negative attitudes predict neglect, as opposed to fear or attack (Fiske, 2018)? To understand the specific behaviors associated with prejudice, a more nuanced analysis of discrete intergroup emotions is needed (Neuberg & Schaller, 2016;Mackie & Smith, 2018).…”

“…A distinctive feature of intergroup emotions is that they may conflict with the emotional responses people feel in interpersonal contexts. In other words, in intergroup contexts, people's emotional responses may shift to reflect the priorities and interests of the group instead of the individual (Mackie & Smith, 2018). Nowhere is this pattern better characterized than in the domain of how we feel in response to ingroup versus outgroup members' suffering.…”

The social neuroscience approach to prejudice investigates the psychology of intergroup bias by integrating models and methods of neuroscience with the social psychology of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. Here, we review major contemporary lines of inquiry, including current accounts of group-based categorization; formation and updating of prejudice and stereotypes; effects of prejudice on perception, emotion, and decision making; and the self-regulation of prejudice. In each section, we discuss key social neuroscience findings, consider interpretational challenges and connections with the behavioral literature, and highlight how they advance psychological theories of prejudice. We conclude by discussing the next-generation questions that will continue to guide the social neuroscience approach toward addressing major societal issues of prejudice and discrimination. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology, Volume 72 is January 4, 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…A related possibility is that different emotions underlie prejudice for different ideological groups and this could have consequences for how prejudice is translated into behavior. Emotions have different behavioral consequences (Mackie & Smith, 2018;Mackie, Maimer, & Smith, 2009;Zeelenberg, Nelissen, & Breugelmans, 2008). For example, if anger underlies prejudice for some groups, but fear underlies prejudice for other groups, the outcomes could differ.…”

“…Group-based emotional responses depend upon group membership (Mackie & Smith, 2018;Tajfel & Turner, 1986). Thus, manipulations to reduce group salience may mitigate the impact of group-based threat.…”

“…We extend research on meta‐emotion to examine the effect of group‐based meta‐emotion in shaping outgroup‐directed emotions and behavioural response intentions in intergroup threat contexts, focusing on meta‐emotions about the outgroup’s emotions, an external object . Research has previously established that intergroup threats provoke appraisals about and emotions towards the offending group (see Mackie & Smith, ). In addition to this well‐established effect, we suggest that meta‐emotions occur between groups such that ingroup members perceive and appraise the emotions of outgroup members, which then affect their own emotions towards the outgroup.…”

In a secularizing world, religious groups are increasingly threatened by anti‐religious groups. We present two studies investigating religious peoples’ responses to anti‐religious threats. We expected intergroup threats to shape group‐based emotions and behavioural intentions through a novel pathway whereby threat affects group‐based meta‐emotions: the ingroup’s perception of the outgroup’s emotions towards the ingroup. In Study 1, we experimentally manipulated threat and group salience with participants from two different cultures (British and Latinx/Hispanic). Study 1 demonstrated non‐interactive effects of threat increasing negative emotional responses and of group salience strengthening emotional responses. The results illustrated the role of group‐based meta‐emotions in predicting outgroup‐directed emotions and behavioural response intentions. Study 2 used a different manipulation of threat in an American sample and an identity‐based manipulation of salience to assess the impact of real‐world anti‐religious campaigns involving symbolic and realistic threats. Both threat types increased negative group‐based meta‐emotions, negative outgroup‐directed emotions, desire to respond, and opposition to the anti‐religious campaign compared to no threat. Overall, religious identity salience had little impact on outcomes. The indirect pathway through meta‐emotion replicated, suggesting the importance of considering this novel meta‐emotion pathway in intergroup relations.
