Abstract

Dutch colonisers treated Chinese Indonesians preferably compared to native Indonesians which continues to impact relations between the two groups today. We investigated this impact through the lens of comparative victimhood beliefs. We conducted an online survey among native Indonesians (N = 333) and identified an indirect relationship between comparative collective victimhood and support for reconciliation with Chinese Indonesians via the mediating effect of general exclusive victimhood beliefs and prejudice in a serial mediation model. In Study 2, we tested the connections using experimental method among native Indonesians (N = 300). Participants who received a message supporting higher (vs. lower) historical comparative victimhood beliefs related to Chinese Indonesians showed higher exclusive victimhood beliefs and prejudice, and in turn, a decreased (vs. increased) support for reconciliation. These results support the idea that to enhance support for reconciliation, the trauma of the colonial past needs to be healed. We discuss the implications for intergroup relations in post‐colonial contexts among different victim groups.

过去、现在和未来：殖民地比较受害者身份通过当地人的偏见阻碍了与印尼华人的和解

与土生土长的印尼人相比，荷兰殖民者给予印尼华人的待遇更为优厚，这种待遇至今仍影响着这两个群体之间的关系。我们从比较受害者信念的角度研究了这种影响。我们对印尼本地人（N = 333）进行了在线调查，并通过一般排他性受害信念和偏见在串联中介模型中的中介效应，确定了比较集体受害信念与支持与印尼华人和解之间的间接关系。在研究 2 中，我们使用实验方法在印尼本地人（300 人）中检验了两者之间的联系。收到支持与印尼华人有关的较高（与较低）历史比较受害信念信息的参与者表现出较高的排他性受害信念和偏见，反过来，对和解的支持也会降低（与提高）。这些结果支持了这样一种观点，即要加强对和解的支持，就必须治愈殖民地历史造成的创伤。我们讨论了在后殖民背景下不同受害群体之间的群体间关系的影响。
