The study examined how entitativity and essentiality influence judgments of collective responsibility. The authors analyzed four group types—intimacy groups, task groups, social categories, and loose associations—to assess these effects. Results showed that intimacy and task groups were rated most entitative, intimacy and social categories most essential, entitativity was the primary driver of collective responsibility judgments, and essentiality moderated the entitativity–blame relationship.
Two studies investigated the roles of entitativity and essentiality in judgments of collective responsibility. Analyses focused on four group types (i.e. intimacy groups, task groups, social categories, and loose associations). Repeated measures analyses revealed that intimacy groups and task groups were rated highest in entitativity while intimacy groups and social categories were rated highest in essentiality. Correlational analyses revealed that entitativity played a more central role in judgments of collective responsibility for all four group types. However, tests of interaction effects revealed that essentiality moderated the effect of entitativity on blame judgments. Implications of the role of collective responsibility in intergroup relations are discussed.
