“…It is a reaction of quiet, latent anger that influences one's whole system of values. Resentment is considered an important factor in stabilizing or destabilizing an individual's psychological life (MacLachlan, 2010;Vetlesen 2006) as well as the life of societies and nations (Berlet 2011;Tomelleri 2009). In the context of this article it is important to realize that resentment may affect the level of sensitivity to frustration and stress, problems of equality and personal merit, differences in collectivism and individualism, and, finally, the significance of tradition.…”

The present study examined the differences in the psychological wellbeing of 270 Polish (198 female) and 209 South Korean (87 female) students. Specifically, it tested the difference in depressive symptom severity between Polish and Korean students, and how this difference may be accounted for by stress and sensitivity to frustration. Poles and Koreans were chosen for this investigation as they vary in terms of culture with Koreans being more collectivistic and more dependent on social context. It was hypothesized that Koreans will have higher levels of depressive symptom severity than Poles due to the elevated levels of stress and sensitivity to frustration. Participants in both countries completed a set of questionnaires including the PHQ-9 -Patient Health Questionnaire, the STAR -Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale -PSS 10. We found that Koreans were more depressed than Poles due to the higher stress levels and sensitivity to frustration. We discuss our study from two culturally distinct perspectives: psychological and philosophical. As this article addresses the problem of frustration and stress with attention to social context of emotional expression (or restraining from it), a philosophical concept of resentment may turn out to be a promising area of further research and interpretation.

The chapter begins by considering the concept of reconciliation in scientific study in general, and research on intergroup relations in particular. On the basis of this review it proposes a distinction between structural, relational and identity-related aspects of intergroup reconciliation and suggests that these aspects are hierarchically organized. It continues to focus on relational and identity-related aspects of intergroup reconciliation by discussing the distinction between processes of instrumental and socio-emotional reconciliation. It continues to analyze the psychological dynamics in identity-related reconciliation and describes the need based model of reconciliation and relevant empirical support. Subsequent sections consider the effects of ‘truth-telling’ in the post-conflict era on societal and individual healing. A final chapter focuses on the distinction between false and genuine reconciliation and reviews scholarly work that emphasizes the place of victim resentment in genuine intergroup reconciliation.
