“…For example, one article cited an online comment, stating: "there is no guarantee those sly Japanese would keep their promise" [HJ1]. Distrust is a common consequence of collective victimization in protracted intergroup conflicts, and restoring trust between former enemies may help develop shared collective memories that aid reconciliation (Kappmeier & Mercy, 2019).…”

To understand the current relations between Japan and Korea, it is crucial to understand how Koreans construe the historical experience of victimization due to Japanese colonization. We analyzed news articles from major Korean newspapers, examining 3 time periods during which the conflict between Japan and South Korea over how to address the past was particularly salient. Thematic analysis revealed 3 categories with several themes each, describing challenges of victimization that are met with specific coping efforts and the transgenerational transmission of memories of historical victimization that keep these experiences salient. This article presents the first social psychological investigation of collective victim beliefs in Korea and contributes to the literature by integrating theoretical perspectives from appraisal theory and the collective victimhood literature, as well as expanding the diversity and complexity of collective victim beliefs. The current study also has practical implications for addressing strained relations between South Korea and Japan. This article explores how South Koreans make sense of the historical experience of victimization due to Japanese colonization by analyzing South Korean newspaper articles. The analysis revealed three main narratives related to challenges of victimization, efforts to cope with such challenges, and preserving and transmitting the memories of historical victimization. This article provides the first social psychological findings regarding Korean people's understanding of their historical victimization. It expands the literature by shedding light on previously unexplored collective victim beliefs in an understudied country. The practical implications of the findings maybe useful in improving the relations between Japan and South Korea.

“…Contact interventions that take the temporal stage (see O'Donnell et al., 2021, for a discussion of longitudinal analyses) of contact and the needs of both groups into consideration—by focusing on both the commonalities and differences between groups—should have the capacity to foster sustained support among both advantaged and disadvantaged group members. This process is not easy and will require some careful trust building first, a reciprocal strengthening of the relationship between disadvantaged and advantaged group members (e.g., Kappmeier & Mercy, 2019; Kelman, 2005; Rozich et al., 2018). Existing interventions that could achieve this are so‐called mixed‐model encounters (Maoz, 2011; Zúñiga et al., 2002).…”

Previous research has shown that positive intergroup contact among disadvantaged group members may predict a so-called sedative effect according to which positive contact is associated with reduced support for social change. Conversely, positive contact is associated with increased support for social change toward equality among advantaged group members. This raises the important question of under which circumstances intergroup contact can encourage support for social change among both disadvantaged and advantaged groups. In this theoretical article, we tackle this question by introducing a new Integrated Contact-Collective Action Model (ICCAM). We first provide an upto-date review of how intergroup contact may promote or hinder social change for both disadvantaged and advantaged groups. We, then, use ICCAM to examine when the many forms of intergroup contact promote or hinder support for social change, proposing the existence of two different paths for disadvantaged and advantaged group members. Finally, we discuss the implications of the model for social intervention and make policy recommendations stemming from a review of available evidence.
