Abstract | Multiple factors influence the reconciliation process after
an intergroup conflict. In this paper, we focused on the role
of social cognition, in particular, stereotype content and
entitativity. Across two studies we examined perceived
entitativity of an offending group as a moderator in the
effect of perceived competence on intergroup forgiveness.
In Study 1, Hong Kong residents (N = 244) read a summary
of the 2010 Manila Hostage Crisis. The participants then
rated the extent to which they perceived Filipinos as warm,
competent, and entitative, and the extent to which they
forgave them for the incident. An ordinary least squares
analysis revealed a significant interaction between
competence and entitativity in the prediction of
forgiveness. Simple slopes analysis of this interaction
revealed that competence was positively associated with
forgiveness when Filipinos were considered low in
entitativity (1 SD below mean entitativity), B = .40, p = .03,
but not when they were considered high in entitativity (1
SD above mean entitativity), B = -.06, p = .70. In Study 2, we
experimentally manipulated the perceived entitativity of
Filipino officials. Participants were randomly assigned to
read a passage that described Filipino officials as highly
cohesive (high entitativity condition; n = 52) or lacking
cohesion (low entitativity condition; n = 51). Following the
entitativity manipulation, participants were reminded of
the Manila Hostage Crisis and read an apology ostensibly
provided by Filipino officials. Participants then completed
measures of entitativity, warmth, competence, and
forgiveness. An ordinary least squares analysis revealed a
significant interaction between competence and entitativity
in the prediction of forgiveness. Simple slopes analysis
revealed that competence was positively associated with
forgiveness in the low entitativity condition, B = .85, p = .07,
but not in the high entitativity condition, B = -.14, p = .61.
We discuss these results in terms of the potential influence
of group perception on intergroup reconciliation. |
