The moderation function of in-group status position on the relationship between group-based guilt and reparation intention
Knoetze, Linda
The moderation function of in-group status position on the relationship between group-based guilt
and reparation intention was tested in a 2 (group-based guilt: low versus high) x 2 (status loss:
weak versus strong) factorial between-subjects design, using an online survey software program
named Qualtrics. The target population was white South African undergraduate students born after
1988 and registered at the University of South Africa. The results of the first Experiment
confirmed the hypothesis, that the relationship between group-based guilt and reparation intention
becomes less significant the more participants perceive a loss of status for their in-group.
However, the hypothesis could not be confirmed in Experiment 2. The results are presented and
discussed in detail
