The aim of this research was to examine the pathway to intergroup forgiveness in postconflict contexts from the framework of improved intergroup relations and with an emphasis on identifying context-specific variables. Two studies investigated the relationship between intergroup contact and ingroup contact norms, and postconflict forgiveness. In the context of Anglo-German post-WWII relations, Study 1 provided evidence that intergroup anxiety and common ingroup identity were significantly predicted by positive intergroup contact and ingroup norms, which then predicted forgiveness of the German outgroup for wartime actions. Accordingly, focusing on Greek and Turkish Cypriot relations in Cyprus the results of Study 2 showed that positive contact with Greek Cypriots and ingroup contact norms were related to decreased intergroup anxiety and dehumanization, which in turn were associated with increased forgiveness. The results are discussed in the context of intergroup relations and postconflict resolution.

群际接触和接触规范作为冲突后宽恕的预测指标。

本研究的目的是从改善群际关系的框架中研究在冲突后环境中群际宽恕的途径，重点是确定特定于上下文的变量。两项研究调查了群体间接触和群体内接触规范与冲突后宽恕之间的关系。在二战后英德关系的背景下，研究 1 提供的证据表明，积极的群体间接触和内群体规范显着预测了群体间焦虑和共同的内群体认同，然后预测了德国外群体对战时行为的宽恕。因此，专注于塞浦路斯的希族和土族塞人关系，研究 2 的结果表明，与希族塞人的积极接触和内群体接触规范与群体间焦虑和非人化减少有关，而这反过来又与宽恕增加有关。结果在群体间关系和冲突后解决的背景下进行了讨论。
