While the original ROM treated ingroup identity as unidimensional, we adopted a multidimensional model, distinguishing self-investment and self-definition, and examined their links to intergroup forgiveness. Data from four real-life conflict settings – Israeli–Palestinian, Kosovar–Serbian, US racial and UK gender conflict (<i>N</i> = 860) – showed good fit for the refined ROM. Competitive victimhood predicted lower outgroup forgiveness, mediated by both identity dimensions. Specifically, while competitive victimhood positively predicted both self-investment and self-definition, only self-definition positively predicted forgiveness; self-investment predicted it negatively. Importantly, self-investment suppressed the positive association between self-definition and forgiveness, highlighting the value of distinguishing these dimensions. Conflict type moderated these effects, with stronger associations in direct than in structural conflicts. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of a multidimensional identity framework and differentiating conflict types to advance understanding of intergroup reconciliation.</p>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 7","pages":"1354-1368"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used a qualitative methodology to explore these social processes, particularly social identity revitalisation, in shaping survivors’ responses to trauma. We examined 33 lived experience accounts of Australian and New Zealand disaster survivors. Reflexive thematic analysis identified four themes, showing how social connections and revitalised social relationships helped survivors (re-)construct post-trauma identities in meaningful ways that supported recovery.

Across six studies, we examined whether activating representations of attachment figures could preemptively buffer against the affective sting of such memory recall. Compared to neutral primes (e.g., stranger or neutral object), viewing a photograph of one's mother or romantic partner reduced negative affect following memory recall. This effect was partially mediated by spontaneously triggered positive affect. Importantly, non-attachment-based positive primes—a liked celebrity or positive object—also conferred such benefits, suggesting that positive affect itself is a key mechanism. A mega-analysis confirmed the robustness of the preemptive buffering effect for attachment figures and showed that it was moderated by attachment avoidance. These findings identify a novel route by which both close relationships and positively valenced stimuli preemptively protect against internal threats, offering new insights for research on emotion regulation, attachment theory and positive psychology.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"55 7","pages":"1270-1291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145719397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
