Emotions and Emotion Regulation in Intractable Conflict: Studying Emotional Processes Within a Unique Context (2015, background): “Because it involves the acceptance of responsibility for harm committed by the ingroup (Branscombe, 2004), the experience of group-based guilt has been found to lead to support for reparations or compensation to the outgroup affected by this harm (e.g., Branscombe & Doosje, 2004).”
Emotion in inter-group relations (2008, background): “This implies that self-categorisation as an in-group member is a form of group-level selfrelevance necessary to group-level emotion (see also Branscombe, 2004; E. R. Smith, 1993).”
Collective Guilt as Distress over Illegitimate Intergroup Inequality (2006, unknown): “The present studies provide evidence to support the assumption that collective guilt is a self-focused distressbased emotion that is experienced when people are confronted with the illegitimate intergroup inequality that is perpetuated by their group (Branscombe, 2004).”
We are sorry: Intergroup apologies and their tenuous link with intergroup forgiveness (2013, result): “This result is in line with theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that accepting collective guilt motivates the desire to repair harms committed (Branscombe, 2004; Wohl, Branscombe, & Klar, 2006).”

Collective guilt: Emotional reactions when one's group has done wrong or been wronged (2006, background): “Importantly, Wohl and Branscombe (2004) found that the relationship between the reminder of past victimisation manipulation and collective guilt was mediated by the extent to which responsibility was placed on the outgroup.”
