| Research Abstract |
This quantitative study examines the psychological process of intergroup conflict resolution, with a focus on the effects of perceived outgroup morality. Although in intergroup conflict, outgroup members are perceived negatively, it is possible to positively redirect this image. Specifically, increased perceived morality would enhance cooperative attitudes towards outgroups. The study results demonstrate that perceived morality positively influenced attitudes and acceptances of outgroup exchange students. Additionally, it led to apologies and compensation for damage previously inflicted on outgroup. These results could facilitate an effective international contribution from Japan.
