Theory of intergroup emotionsE. Smith
➲ Theory of intergroup emotions postulates that the feelings we have towards the members of another social group depend on the identification with an in-group.
➲ The more one identifies with an in-group the more intense emotions he will have for an out-group.
➲ To measure the intergroup emotions first you have to find out the level of in-group identification.

Possible reasons for a big difference in the intergroup emotions between big and small
groups
➲ Social context — competition in humorous game differs a lot from political competition: while members of CJS games need each other to continue their activities, members and followers of political parties want to destroy the outgroup
➲ Personal communication — the fact of knowing your opponent personally makes sense decreasing the level of hostility
➲ Mechanisms of psychological defense — they may work better having an influence on outgroup emotions when it comes up to game where humour is the point.
