• Herd Invisibility: The Psychology of Racial Privilege (2018, background): “General strategies to deny and to distance from privilege have been reviewed elsewhere, as has the role of maintenance motives in driving many of these behaviors (Knowles et al., 2014; Leach et al., 2002; Sidanius & Pratto, 1999).”
• How Perspective-Taking Helps and Hinders Group-Based Guilt as a Function of Group Identification (2009, background): “However, in itself, the experience of compassion does not directly implicate a causal agent for the harm infl icted (e.g. Frijda, Kuipers, & Ter Schure, 1989; Hoffman, 2000; Leach et al., 2002).”
• Collective Guilt as Distress over Illegitimate Intergroup Inequality (2006, background): “Like distress, guilt is an aversive emotion that people prefer to avoid (Estrada-Hollenbach & Heatherton, 1998; Leach et al., 2002; Roseman et al., 1994; C. A. Smith & Ellsworth, 1985).”
• GROUPS AND MORALITY (2014, background): “Of course, guilt is not the only way to experience self-criticism for an in-group’s wrongdoing (for reviews, see Leach et al., 2002; Parkinson et al., 2005; for a general discussion of emotion in intergroup relations, see Chapter 10, this volume).”
• Relative Deprivation (2012, background): “…(because one feels similar to the comparison target, one feels inspired by the upward comparison) or contrast comparisons (because one feels dissimilar to the comparison target, one feels threatened by the upward comparison; see B. P. Buunk et al., 2003; Leach et al., 2002; R. H. Smith, 2000).”
• Introduction to the Social and Psychological Dynamics of Collective Action (2009, methodology): “This idea has paved the way for applications of group-based emotion (Leach et al., 2002; Smith, 1993) to the study of collective action.”
• Intergroup Attitudes as a Function of Different Dimensions of Group Identification and Perceived Intergroup Conflict (2002, background): “Likewise, Leach, Snider, and Iyer (2000) propose that disadvantaged groups may be viewed in a variety of ways by the more fortunate (e.g., with disdain, indignation, pity, sympathy, moral outrage), depending on the relative security of the social relationships.”
• Emotion in inter-group relations (2008, background): “In this context, it is difficult to imagine people feeling guilty, responsible, and blameworthy for anything other than discrimination by an in-group within which they psychologically include themselves (for a discussion, see Leach et al., 2002).”
