“…Most social psychological research on intergroup relations has focused on attitudes among members of majority or advantaged groups toward minority and disadvantaged groups (Dixon, Tropp, Durrheim, & Tredoux, ). Less is known about relations between disadvantaged minority groups, including groups that experienced discrimination and other forms of group‐based violence (but see Barlow, Louis, & Terry, ; Bikmen, ; Craig & Richeson, ; Glasford & Calcagno, ). Positive relations between minority groups, however, are crucial in building cohesive multicultural societies: While minority groups can be powerful allies, they may also compete for resources or engage in intense conflict (Barlow et al, ; Bobo & Hutchings, ).…”

What motivates minority group members to support other minorities, rather than compete for resources? We tested whether inclusive victim consciousness -i.e., perceived similarities between the ingroup's and outgroups' collective victimizationpredicts support for other minority groups; and whether personal and family experiences of group-based victimization moderate these effects. Study 1 was conducted among members of historically oppressed groups in India. As hypothesized, inclusive victim consciousness predicted support for refugees. Personal experiences of group-based victimization moderated this effect. Conceptually replicating these findings, in Study 2 (among Vietnamese Americans, mostly second-generation immigrants) inclusive victim consciousness predicted less hostility toward other refugees and immigrants, and greater perceived responsibility to help victims of collective violence. This effect was moderated by family experiences of victimization.

“…This evidence has been gathered from research conducted in the United States (Glasford & Calcagno, 2011;Tropp, Hawi, van Laar, & Levin 2012;Taush, Saguy, & Bryson, in press), South Africa (Cakal, 2011;Dixon et al, 2007Dixon et al, , 2010b, Israel (Saguy, Tausch, Dovidio & Pratto, 2009;Saugy & Chernyak-Hai, 2012), India (Tausch, Saguy, & Singh, 2009), and New Zealand (Sengupta & Sibley, 2013). It has used an array of research designs, types of intergroup relations, and political indicators relevant to collective action; and it has produced a broadly convergent set of findings (see also Tropp et al,Chapter 20,this titile).…”

Even when the social order appears intractable, social change is constantly unfolding all around us, finding expression in the accumulation of small acts of resistance as much as in dramatic moments of revolution. Psychologists should take interest in the dynamics of social change, whether mundane or dramatic, for at least two reasons. First, the explanation of when and why change occurs -or fails to occurrequires analysis of ordinary people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. To understand fully the conditions under which people act in ways that support or challenge the status quo, we simply cannot afford to overlook the role of psychological factors. Second and related, processes of social change invite us to (re)appraise the moral and political implications of psychological knowledge. How do we reduce discrimination against others? When do we recognize and challenge social inequality and when do we accept or even endorse it? How can we create more inclusive forms of identity and community? Such questions elide the traditional division between scholarship and advocacy. They require us to demonstrate how psychological knowledge helps create a more just and tolerant society. Perhaps less comfortably, they require us to recognize how our discipline may be complicit in maintaining social inequalities.In this chapter, we discuss two psychological models of social change, namely prejudice reduction and collective action. Both models focus on the problem of "-improving relations between groups to reduce social inequality and discrimination. However, they propose different psychological pathways to the achievement of this goal and prioritize different core questions. As we shall see, the prejudice reduction model primarily addresses the question "How can we get individuals to like one another more?" whereas the collective action model primarily addresses the question "How can we get individuals to mobilize together to challenge inequality?"The first section of the chapter elaborates the fundamental principles and underlying assumptions of these models. The second section explores the relationship between the two models of change, focusing on the allegation that prejudice reduction exerts counterproductive effects on collective action.

“…Looking at relations between groups who share a disadvantaged social status, collective victimhood and inclusive victim consciousness have been found to promote more positive attitudes about intraminority coalition and engagement in joint collective action (Glasford & Calcagno, 2012;Vollhardt, 2015). Collective victimhood is described as a common identity shared by groups who are disadvantaged, while inclusive victim consciousness is when members of various disadvantaged or oppressed groups perceive similarities between group victimizations (Vollhardt, 2012).…”

“…A medium effect size of .25 was hypothesized, as effect sizes around this value have been observed when examining group differences in political participation and solidarity between racial groups (e.g., Glasford & Calcagno, 2012). For the first set of hypotheses, which will be tested using 2X4 factorial ANOVAs, to obtain a power level of .8 with a medium effect size (.25), a total of sample size of 179 (22 per intersecting race and gender group) participants are needed.…”
