• Explanations of interindividual – intergroup discontinuity: A review of the evidence (2007, background): “Having said this, we found the backward induction (Bornstein et al., 2004) and group polarisation (Meier & Hinsz, 2004) explanations to be more consistent with the empirical record than the reciprocity hypothesis (Rabbie, 1998) and CRM (Lodewijkx et al., 2006).”

• Us and Them: Intergroup Failures of Empathy (2011, background): “To examine failures of empathy at the intergroup level is particularly important, because intergroup conflicts engender significantly more aggression than do interpersonal interactions (Meier & Hinsz, 2004).”
• Intergroup Schadenfreude: motivating participation in collective violence (2015, unknown): “, they assign other participants to drink spicier hot sauce when making the decision as a group [23]).”
