Zusammenfassung
Dieses Kapitel befasst sich mit dem Konzept der Vergebung zwischen Gruppen. Obwohl es im Bereich der Sozialpsychologie noch neu ist, stößt es bei Wissenschaftlern auf großes Interesse, weil es konfliktreichen Gruppen den Übergang von gegenseitiger Feindschaft zu friedlicher Koexistenz erleichtern kann. In diesem Kapitel wird untersucht, wie Gruppen auf Leid reagieren, das ihnen von anderen Gruppen zugefügt wurde. Insbesondere analysieren wir die Rolle der sozialen Identität, der Opferüberzeugungen (die Art und Weise, wie Gruppen ihr Leiden verstehen und darstellen) und deren potenzielles Zusammenspiel. Zur Untermauerung dieser Analyse wird in diesem Kapitel die empirische Forschung auf der Grundlage von Studien zusammengefasst, die mit Gruppen durchgeführt wurden, die in reale Konfliktsituationen verwickelt sind (z. B. Israel-Palästina, Nordirland). Abschließend wird in diesem Kapitel die zweischneidige Natur der Vergebung zwischen Gruppen hervorgehoben, die einerseits zur Heilung negativer Beziehungen zwischen Gruppen beiträgt, aber andererseits auch die Aufrechterhaltung gruppenbezogener Ungleichheiten begünstigt.
