      By many accounts cooperation appears to be a default strategy in social interaction. There are, however, several documented instances in which reflexive responding favors aggressive behaviors: for example, interactions ...

      A pervading global narrative suggests that political polarisation is increasing in the US and around the world. Beliefs in increased polarisation impact individual and group behaviours regardless of whether they are accurate ...

    • Hate crime towards minoritized groups increases as they increase in sized-based rank 

      Cikara, Mina; Fouka, Vasiliki; Tabellini, Marco (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-08-08)
      People are on the move in unprecedented numbers within and between countries. How does demographic change affect local intergroup dynamics? In complement to accounts that emphasize stereotypical features of groups as ...

    • Inaccurate Group Meta-Perceptions Drive Negative Out-Group Attributions in Competitive Contexts 

      Cikara, Mina; Lees, Jeffrey (Center for Open Science, 2019-04-17)
      Across seven experiments and one survey (N=4282) people consistently overestimated out-group negativity towards the collective behavior of their in-group. This negativity bias in group meta-perceptions (GMPs) was present ...

    • Minding the Gap: Narrative Descriptions about Mental States Attenuate Parochial Empathy 

      Bruneau, Emile G.; Cikara, Mina; Saxe, Rebecca (Public Library of Science, 2015)
      In three experiments, we examine parochial empathy (feeling more empathy for in-group than out-group members) across novel group boundaries, and test whether we can mitigate parochial empathy with brief narrative descriptions. ...

    • The Neuroscience of Intergroup Relations 

      Cikara, Mina; Van Bavel, Jay J. (SAGE Publications, 2014)
      We review emerging research on the psychological and biological factors that underlie social group formation, cooperation, and conflict in humans. Our aim is to integrate the intergroup neuroscience literature with classic ...

    • Pleasure in response to out-group pain as a motivator of intergroup aggression 

      Cikara, Mina (Guilford Press, 2018)
      If humans are innately good, cooperative, fair, and averse to harming one another, why does widespread intergroup violence continue to afflict society? Several factors contribute to fomenting aggression between groups; ...

      Cikara, Mina; Jenkins, A.C.; Dufour, N.; Saxe, R. (Elsevier BV, 2014)

      Cikara, Mina; Bruneau, E.; Van Bavel, J.J.; Saxe, R. (Elsevier BV, 2014)

      Cikara, Mina (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2017)
      Gervais & Fessler's analysis collapses across two orthogonal dimensions of social value to explain contempt: relational value, predicted by cooperation, and agentic value, predicted by status. These dimensions interact to ...
