The actions of advantaged group activists (sometimes called “allies”) are admirable, and they likely make meaningful contributions to the movements support. However, a nuanced understanding role allies must also consider potential challenges their participation. Both in everyday lives during activist work, especially have direct contact with disadvantaged members. This article considers when such may harm rather than help resistance by groups. We suggest that avoid these undermining effects,...
Abstract This paper describes an emerging body of work on intergroup prosociality, drawing together parallel literatures and highlighting some the themes recent research. A broad distinction between benevolence activism serves as foundation to explore forms such charitable giving, displays empathy affirmation (positive supportive contact), allyship, solidarity. Gaps implications for future research are discussed. For example, we propose that it may be useful distinguish defined advocacy...
What role does intergroup contact play in promoting support for social change toward greater equality? Drawing on the needs-based model of reconciliation, we theorized that when inequality between groups is perceived as illegitimate, disadvantaged group members will experience a need empowerment and advantaged acceptance. When satisfies each group's needs, it should result more mutual change. Using four sets survey data collected through Zurich Intergroup Project 23 countries, tested several...
Positive cross-group contact can undermine disadvantaged group members' collective action engagement.However, we hypothesized that positive in which an advantaged member explicitly communicates opposition to inequality between groups ("supportive contact") would not and be empowering for members.Study 1 focused on international students domestic at Australian university.Study 2 immigrants Canada, provided opportunity a with Canadian-born individual.The results revealed supportive heightened...
A growing body of literature suggests that positive cross-group contact between members advantaged and disadvantaged groups can undermine group members’ collective action engagement. It has also been proposed supportive (i.e., with who express explicit support for social change) may be a special form might increase, rather than reduce engagement among members. In the present research, we tested this proposition by asking Gay (N = 96) Lesbian 100) Australians to recall previous interaction...
An understanding of how groups engage in sustained collective action over long periods time (sometimes multiple generations) must take into account sociocultural factors. We consider the role Indigenous languages motivating and sustaining among peoples, drawing on basic social psychological theory as well insights from writers. contend that knowledge use one’s language can facilitate conditions shown to underpin interest participating (i.e., identification, perceptions injustice, control,...
The social identity approach makes a distinction between behavior motivated by intergroup versus interpersonal identities, which may be relevant to victim blaming in the case of rape. Using mock jury paradigm, we examined impact defining rape as an act violence (personal assault) (a "hate crime"), crossed with manipulation describing attacker either acquaintance or stranger. Defining terms led less blame than when it was defined terms, and participants blamed more she assaulted

Guided by the early findings of social scientists, practitioners have long advocated for greater contact between groups toreduce prejudice and increase cohesion. Recent work, however, suggests that intergroup can undermine support change towards equality, especially among disadvantaged group members. Using a large heterogeneous dataset (12,997 individuals from 69 countries), we demonstrate equality are positively associated members advantaged (ethnic majorities cis-heterosexuals) but...
