Abstract Collective memories of historical ingroup victimization can be linked to prosocial or hostile intergroup outcomes. We hypothesize that such discrepant responses are predicted by different construals the ingroup's in relation other groups (i.e., comparative victim beliefs). Using improved measures inclusive and exclusive beliefs, with a global regional reference group, multigroup structural equation modeling showed across four (Armenian Americans [ N = 265], Jewish 297], Hungarians...

Abstract While power is often defined and operationalized as control or influence over others, alternative conceptualizations define the ability to meet various fundamental needs. We argue that this conceptualization may better capture how marginalized minority group members understand their group's powerlessness. However, there little research examining people themselves construe group‐based power. The present study, therefore, used qualitative inquiry examine perceived ingroup among Asian...
Abstract Acknowledgment of collective victimization is often understood as a crucial precursor to promoting victimized groups’ well‐being and breaking the cycle violence.

Furthermore, considered be appropriate may shaped by historical sociopolitical context. To address these issues, we conducted qualitative online survey that explored how four...
