A new aspect of intergroup conflict was investigated- vicarious retribution-in which neither the agent of retribution nor the target of retribution are directly involved in the initial intergroup provocation. The underlying processes involved in vicarious intergroup retribution were tested correlationally (Study 1) and experimentally (Study 2). Both ingroup identification and outgroup entitativity predict the degree of vicarious retribution. In both studies, there was evidence of motivated cognition, specifically that highly identified individuals perceived the outgroup as higher in entitativity than individuals low in identification. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that part of the effect of identification on retribution against the outgroup was mediated through perceptions of entitativity.
一项关于群体间冲突的新方面——替代性报复——的研究展开了，在替代性报复中，报复的实施者和报复的对象都没有直接参与最初的群体间挑衅。对替代性群体间报复所涉及的潜在过程进行了相关性检验（研究1）和实验检验（研究2）。群体内认同和外群体实体性都能预测替代性报复的程度。在两项研究中，都有动机性认知的证据，具体而言，高度认同群体的个体比认同度低的个体认为外群体具有更高的实体性。结构方程模型表明，认同对针对外群体报复的部分影响是通过对实体性的认知来介导的。
