Abstract
Historically, humans have lived in groups to promote survival and reproduction. However, group-based living has stimulated conflict between groups over various resources. These conflicts present a threat to the reproductive fitness, which is categorized and managed with appropriate behavioral responses. This chapter examines the role of emotions in this process. Emotions promote an adaptive response, by which their category and magnitude are calibrated to match the perceived threat. The self-protection and disease-avoidance threat-management systems use social-based emotional responses and their resulting behaviors to detect and respond to potential harm from conspecifics. This chapter also discusses the differences in responses to threats from out-group members and individual variation (e.g., strength, sex, health) which shapes the adaptive response. This model is integrated with research that has identified emotional interventions to reduce intergroup prejudice and discrimination.
