Intergroup Emotion Theory (IET)

GLOSSARY

The idea that when social identity is salient, group-based appraisals elicit specific emotions and action tendencies toward out-groups. That is, when group membership is salient and situations are appraised in terms of their consequences for the in-group, specific intergroup emotional reactions and behavioural intentions are triggered.
