Ingroup and Outgroup Mass Media are Differently Linked to Reconciliation Through Perception of Ingroup Victimhood

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The role of mass media in inciting and exacerbating intergroup conflicts is well documented. However, there is still lack of evidence how mass media affects intergroup relations in the aftermath of an intergroup conflict. We focused on Croats (N = 278) and Bosniaks (N = 267) who engaged in mutual violence during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 90s. We examined the relationship between exposure to ingroup media (media in national language) and outgroup media (media in other languages) and two reconciliatory acts – forgiveness to the outgroup and support for ingroup apology to the outgroup. Media exposure was not directly associated with either of the two reconciliatory acts. Notwithstanding, media exposure was indirectly linked to both outgroup forgiveness and support for ingroup apology through the perception of ingroup victimhood. Greater exposure to ingroup media was associated with higher perception of ingroup victimhood that was related to lower support for outgroup forgiveness and ingroup apology. Reversely, greater exposure to outgroup media was associated with lower perception of ingroup victimhood that was linked to higher support for outgroup forgiveness and ingroup apology. Our findings extend the traditional view of media as deteriorating intergroup relations and contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the role of mass media as a tool for intergroup reconciliation in post-conflict societies.
