Why this is here
Hornsey (NOTE-1253, p. 216) and von Scheve & Ismer (NOTE-552) both trace group-based emotion to it. It joins THEORY-126’s collective emotion to the self-categorization readings.
Read in its place
The work cannot be read here, so the record holds it at second hand.
Smith and Mackie 2016 (NOTE-1285) cite the 1993 chapter as the origin of group-based emotion and restate its core: with a social identity salient, the group is an aspect of the self, events are appraised for their implications for the group, and emotions such as anxiety, anger or hope follow on its behalf (p. 3). They add that such emotions give “a highly differentiated account” of intergroup behaviour (p. 5), the 1993 chapter’s motive. Missing still: the chapter’s own argument, its case for treating prejudice as an emotion rather than an attitude, its mapping of appraisals to specific emotions and actions, and its examples.
