“…Intergroup emotions theory (Mackie, Maitner, & Smith, ; Smith & Mackie, ) is a pivotal part of this emphasis on the role of emotions in intergroup relations (see also Kuppens, Yzerbyt, Dandache, Fischer, & Van Der Schalk, ; Yzerbyt, Dumont, Wigboldus, & Gordijn, ). According to intergroup emotions theory, intergroup behavior is driven by emotions, but emotions of a uniquely social kind.…”

“…Additionally, another important role the collective may have on personal emotional process is group‐based appraisal, that is, the social validation of the paring of a specific emotion to a given event (Kuppens et al, ; Van Zomeren et al, ). Even if people perceive the situation as emotion provoking, they may not always know whether fellow group members also perceive situation in the same manner.…”

After 2 decades of extensive empirical studies on affective intergroup processes, it is now clear that emotional processes play a critical role in the dynamics of intergroup conflict. However, it seems that much of the research in this domain views intergroup relations in a dichotomous manner of pure in‐groups and out‐groups despite the developments in the realm of social identity that suggest otherwise. We here suggest that the incorporation of more complex social identity models into the study of affective social science can not only help to better understand intergroup conflict dynamics but can also offer new possible venues for conflict resolution. Specifically, we claim that the presence of groups with multiple identities, which include both the in‐group's and the out‐group's identity (e.g., biracial groups that encompass both a White and a Black social identity) can impact intergroup emotional processes between the different groups comprising those multiple identities (e.g., between Whites and Blacks). Accordingly, we review recent developments in the literatures of emotion in intergroup conflict and multiple social identity and offer a conceptual integration of the two. Thus, we attempt to enrich the theory in both fields, better explain intergroup conflict, and possibly pave the way for the development of novel conflict resolution methods.

“…Third, the Palestinians as a group have already provided their own social appraisals (Kuppens, Yzerbyt, Dandache, Fischer, & Van Der Schalk, 2013;Manstead & Fischer, 2001) of these events, and these appraisals feed into the individual ones, altogether creating discrete emotional reactions. First, the direct cause of the emotioneliciting event (or object in the case of a military roadblock) is rooted within the dynamics of a hostile intergroup conflict.…”

“…For example, witnessing members of the ingroup being unjustly treated leads people to respond vicariously with anger and aggression. These emotional and behavioral reactions further depend on how strongly people identify with the victims (e.g., Gordijn, Yzerbyt, Wigboldus, & Dumont, ; Kuppens et al, ; Yzerbyt, Dumont, Wigboldus, & Gordijn, ). Hence, according to the social identity and intergroup emotions literatures, group identity should strengthen the individual's perception that his or her ingroup is a target of unjust treatment, which in turn should intensify the group's emotional and behavioral reactions to such perceived injustice (Grant, ).…”

The Mistreatment of My People: Victimization by Proxy and Behavioral Intentions to Commit Violence Among Muslims in Denmark

Islamist extremism is often explained by the suffering endured by Muslims in Islamic countries as a result of Western‐led wars. However, many terrorist attacks have been carried out by European Muslims with no personal experiences of war. Across two studies among Danish Muslims, we tested if what we call “victimization‐by‐proxy processes” motivate behavioral intentions to commit acts of violence. We used Muslim identification, perceived injustice of Western foreign policies, and group‐based anger to predict violent and nonviolent behavioral intentions. More importantly, we compared path models of Danish Muslims from conflict zones with those without direct personal experience of Western‐led occupation. We found similar effects among the participants in each category, that is, vicarious psychological responses mimicked those of personally experienced adversity. In fact, participants born in Western Europe were, on average, more strongly identified with Muslims, more likely to perceive Western foreign policy as more unjust, reported greater group‐based anger, and were more inclined to help Muslims both by nonviolent and violent means.
