“…Inclusion of the out‐group in the self has been associated with improvement of intergroup relations. For example, greater inclusion is related to more positive out‐group attitudes (Cameron et al., ; Turner, Hewstone, Voci, & Vonofakou, ; Wright et al., ), actions toward members of the out‐group (Laham, Tam, Laljee, Hewstone, & Voci, ), and more pleasant expectations of contact with an unknown out‐group member and experience during actual contact (Page‐Gould, Mendoza‐Denton, Alegre, & Siy, ).…”

From an extended contact hypothesis (ECH) framework, mass-media portrayals of interracial relationships may encourage positive attitudes toward such relationships. Caucasian participants (N = 218) indicated examples of media portrayals of BlackWhite interracial relationships, attitudes toward Blacks, attitudes toward interracial relationships, degree of identification with Whites, and the degree to which Blacks are included in self-representations. Supporting our hypotheses, extended contact with Black-White relationships via media portrayals was associated with more positive attitudes toward Blacks and interracial relationships. These relationships were mediated by the degree to which Blacks are included in self-representations. This study furthers understanding of ECH by including representations of dyadic relationships and suggests an avenue for the creation of interventions for improving attitudes toward interracial relationships.

“…Finally, participants rated the extent to which they intended to engage in particular actions toward the target group (taken from Laham et al., ). The items assessed aggressive action tendencies (e.g., “I am likely to oppose them”), approach‐motivated action tendencies (e.g., “I am likely to talk to them”), and avoidance (e.g., “I'm likely to avoid them”; 7‐point scale (1 = not at all and 7 = very much ).…”

“…For instance, aggression arises from anger while avoidance arises from fear (Laham, Tam, Lalljee, Hewstone, & Voci, ). These emotions and corresponding action tendencies typically arise in response to appraisals of a situation (see Fernando, Kashima, & Laham, , for recent reviews of appraisal processes), such as threat to oneself (Lazarus, ) or one's group.…”

Traditional accounts of intergroup bias often fail to consider the complexity of intergroup phenomena by insufficiently distinguishing between (a) attitudes, emotions and action tendencies, (b) classes of threat that promote intergroup bias and (c) subtle category distinctions amongst social groups. We develop a nuanced account of antimigrant bias by distinguishing between (a) manifestations of bias in emotions and action tendencies, (b) kinds of threat that drive antimigrant bias, and(c) kinds of migrant groups (economic migrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers). By employing within-subjects designs in two prominent migrant-receiving countries (N Australia = 239, N US = 200), we find that two distinct classes of threat emerge: in-group morality threat and conflict-related threat. These threats predict specific emotion and action tendency profiles. Our findings carry important implications for the conceptualization of antimigrant bias. We also discuss implications of our findings for facilitating positive relations between receiving communities and migrants via in-group morality threat.The world is facing a migration crisis-immigration rates are at an unprecedented high and at least 65 million people are currently displaced worldwide (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 2017). Understanding prejudice and discrimination toward migrants is thus essential for ensuring their

“…In fact, research in personal relationships [81] suggests that balancing negative relationships with positive emotions can increase the stability of a relationship and work to reduce the degree of overt conflict. Additionally, other studies [82] find that feelings of mutual respect between potential rivals can serve to mitigate the degree of negative reactions toward opponents.…”

Negative Emotional Energy: A Theory of the “Dark-Side” of Interaction Ritual Chains

Abstract:Randall Collins' theory of interaction ritual chains is widely cited, but has been subject to little theoretical elaboration. One reason for the modest expansion of the theory is the underdevelopment of the concept of emotional energy. This paper examines emotional energy, related particularly to the dynamics of negative experiences. It asks whether or not negative emotions produce emotional energies that are qualitatively distinct from their positive counterparts. The analysis begins by tracing the development of Interaction Ritual Theory, and summarizes its core propositions. Next, it moves to a conceptualization of a "valenced" emotional energy and describes both "positive" and "negative" dimensions. Six propositions outline the central dynamics of negative emotional energy. The role of groups in the formation of positive and negative emotional energy are considered, as well as how these energies are significant sources of sociological motivation.
