| Popis: | The present study addresses antecedents and consequences of collective vic- 110 timhood in the context of World War I (WWI) across 15 European nations 111 (N = 2423 social science students). Using multilevel analysis, we find 112 evidence that collective victimhood is still present a hundred years after the 113 onset of the war and can be predicted by WWI-related objective indicators 114 of victimization at national and family levels. This suggests that collective vic- 115 timhood is partly grounded in the actual experience of WWI. In addition, we 116 show that sense of collective victimhood positively predicts acknowledgment 117 of the suffering inflicted by one’s nation on other countries during WWI. This 118 is consistent with a social representation of WWI as involving a vast massacre 119 in which nations were both victim and perpetrator. Finally, we find that 120 objective indicators of victimization predict pacifism in divergent ways, with 121 an indicator at the national level associated with more pacifist attitudes and 122 an indicator at the family level being associated with less pacifist attitudes. This 123 finding suggests that war-torn societies may have developed social represen- 124 tations favouring peaceful coexistence whereas, at the family level, victimiza- 125 tion may still foster retaliatory tendencies. info:eu-repo/semantics/inPress |
