Abstract

The effects of political violence are felt across generations; for example, extent of parental competitive victimhood (feeling that one's ingroup was relatively more victimised during the conflict) predicts adolescent's intergroup discrimination. We extend that research to children, born a generation after the height of violence. Participants were 223 family dyads with children aged 7–11 (M = 9.05, SD = 1.30; 52.4% female): Croatia (n = 82) and Republic of North Macedonia (RNM: n = 141), equally split by group status (i.e., Croatia: Croats/Serbs; RNM: Macedonian/Albanian). Parents reported on competitive victimhood while children reported on intergroup contact intentions (e.g., shared education initiatives). Moderation analysis across sites found a significant status by competitive victimhood interaction; increased parental competitive victimhood was associated with decreased contact intentions among minority, but not majority, children. We review site-specific findings in relation to their historical context, concluding with the implications for shared education, reconciliation and peacebuilding.

战争的阴影：两个协议后社会中父母的竞争性受害者身份与儿童的接触意向

政治暴力的影响可以跨越几代人；例如，父母的竞争性受害程度（认为自己的内群体在冲突中受害相对较多）可以预测青少年的群体间歧视。我们将这一研究扩展到暴力高峰后一代出生的儿童身上。参与者为 223 个有 7-11 岁孩子的家庭（中=9.05，标差=1.30；52.4% 为女性）：克罗地亚（n = 82）和北马其顿共和国（RNM：n = 141），按群体地位平均分配（即克罗地亚：克罗地亚人/塞族人；北马其顿共和国：马其顿人/阿尔巴尼亚人）。父母报告了竞争性受害情况，而子女则报告了群体间接触意向（如共同教育计划）。对不同地点进行的调节分析发现，身份与竞争性受害者身份之间存在显著的交互作用；父母竞争性受害者身份的增加与少数群体儿童接触意愿的降低有关，但与多数群体儿童接触意愿的降低无关。我们结合历史背景回顾了各研究地点的具体研究结果，最后提出了对共同教育、和解与和平建设的启示。
