This research investigates the impact of perspective-taking on a majority group’s support for government action to help a minority group. Data among a sample of Indonesian Muslims (N = 380), representing a religious majority group in Indonesia, showed that perspective-taking was a strong positive predictor of Muslims’ support for government action to help Christian minority. Relative Muslim prototypicality vis-à-vis Christians depressed perspective-taking. Contrariwise, inclusive victimhood reflecting a perception that Muslims are equally afflicted relative to Christians in intergroup conflicts, involving both groups, promoted perspective-taking. Relative Muslim prototypicality was augmented by the extent to which this majority group glorified Islam and was motivated to protect Islamic power. However, inclusive victimhood instead attenuated relative Muslim prototypicality. These findings suggest the importance of enhancing inclusive victimhood, given its impact in promoting perspective-taking which is beneficial to the majority’s support for minority helping.

多数群体对少数群体的看法

这项研究调查了观点调查对多数群体对政府帮助少数群体的行动的支持的影响。代表印度尼西亚的一个宗教多数派的印度尼西亚穆斯林样本（N = 380）中的数据表明，采取观点是穆斯林对政府支持帮助基督徒少数群体的支持的强烈积极预测。相对于基督徒的穆斯林原型，郁闷地采取观点。相反，包容性受害者反映了人们的看法，即穆斯林在与群体之间的冲突中与基督徒在基督徒之间同样受到折磨。穆斯林占多数的群体在多大程度上赞扬伊斯兰教，并有动机保护伊斯兰力量，从而使相对穆斯林的原型性得到增强。然而，相反，包容性受害者削弱了穆斯林的相对原型。这些发现表明，增强包容性受害者的重要性，因为它对促进观点观点的影响有利于多数人对少数人帮助的支持。
