“…The majority of studies on IWAH were conducted in the United States (for a review see McFarland et al, 2019), but the construct was also positively verified in other countries, such as Germany (Reese et al, 2015), Australia (Faulkner, 2018) and Poland (Hamer et al, 2017, 2018, 2019; Hamer & Gutowski, 2009). Similar constructs were also tested elsewhere in the world, such as the global citizenship construct in the United States, Bulgaria and India (Katzarska‐Miller, Reysen, Kamble, & Vithoji, 2012), global social identity construct in the United States, Italy, Russia, Argentina, South Africa and Iran (Buchan et al, 2011) or the characteristics of global identity, which were explored in students from 24 countries by Türken and Rudmin (2013).…”

“…Many studies show that identification with all humanity predicts a human rights orientation and concern for global issues (McFarland et al, 2012, 2019), intergroup forgiveness (Hamer, Penczek, & Bilewicz, 2017, 2018), as well as support for refugees (Bassett & Cleveland, 2019; Dunwoody & McFarland, 2018), international volunteering, charities to end global hunger and stronger negative reactions to hate crimes (McFarland et al, 2019). It is negatively connected to islamophobia and dehumanisation (McFarland et al, 2019).…”

Identification with all humanity measured as an individual characteristic is an important factor related to social and international relations, such as concern for global issues and human rights, prosocial attitudes, intergroup forgiveness, attitudes toward immigrants, solving global problems, reactions to hate crimes and dehumanisation. We examine the factorial structure, psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Identification with All Humanity (IWAH) scale in student samples from five countries (the United States, Poland, France, Mexico and Chile; N = 1930). Separate confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) for each country showed a second‐order model of one superordinate factor with two subfactors. The cross‐country validation of the scale, based on multigroup CFA, confirmed configural and metric invariance between countries for raw scores, and full metric invariance for “pure” scores. This study showed that the IWAH scale can be successfully used for cross‐country research and the results from different countries can be compared and integrated.

“…IWAH predicts forgiveness of former national enemies. Two studies in Poland (Hamer, Penczek, & Bilewicz, , ), with the latter on a large national sample, found that IWAH predicted forgiving Germans and Russians for their World War II atrocities in Poland (e.g., “I have forgiven Germans for their atrocities in World War II”). In a U.S. replication, it predicted forgiving Germans and Japanese for their wartime hostilities against the United States.…”

We review psychological research on global human identification and citizenship, Thomas Paine's belief that "The world is my country, and all mankind are my brethren." In turn, we review the theoretical foundations that guided our work, research with measures that preceded our own, and our own work with our correlated scales. We review its foundations, its effects upon attitudes and behaviors, and how it might be enlarged. Global human identification and citizenship is related negatively to ethnocentrism, authoritarianism, the social dominance orientation, and self-centeredness, but positively to dispositional empathy, openness to experience, and the values of universalism, care, and justice. It is expressed in attitudes and behaviors that support human rights and work to reduce global suffering and inequalities. It is associated with greater global knowledge and with efforts to acquire that knowledge. Childrearing that emphasizes cross-cultural exposure and awareness of others' suffering may promote global human identification and citizenship, as does education that encourages global mindedness. Environments that support global human identification also induce it, as does envisioning it as a moral ideal.

“…Some studies demonstrate that strong ingroup identification is a barrier to forgiveness (Cehajic et al., 2008; Greenaway et al., 2011; Hanke et al, 2013; Hewstone et al., 2006; Leonard et al., 2015; Noor, Brown, Gonzalez, et al., 2008; Wohl & Branscombe, 2005), whereas other studies demonstrate that ingroup identification—especially higher‐order identifications such as identification with humanity—can be a facilitator of forgiveness (e.g., Greenaway et al., 2011; Noor et al., 2010; Wohl & Branscombe, 2005). Yet, other studies demonstrate no significant relationship between ingroup identification and forgiveness (Hamer et al., 2017; Hewstone et al., 2006; Leonard et al., 2015; Philpot & Hornsey, 2011).…”

Groups in conflict often resist efforts toward reconciliation with the outgroups. Despite the growing research examining processes underlying support for reconciliation, we know little about how resentment might drive members of victim groups that have experienced violence and atrocities to oppose reconciliation and reduce their willingness to forgive the perpetrator group. Using the context of the Turkish–Armenian conflict, the present research investigated the association of ingroup identification, ingroup glorification, and resentment with willingness to reconcile and forgive among Armenians in their homeland context (Armenia; Study 1) and Armenian‐Americans in the hostland context (the United States; Study 2). In Study 1, stronger Armenian identification and Armenian glorification predicted more resentment toward the Turks, which in turn predicted less forgiveness and less support for reconciliation. Study 2 replicated the findings of Study 1 regarding the associations of ingroup glorification but not ingroup identification. However, Study 2 also demonstrated that identification with diaspora identity (i.e., American identity) predicted positive intergroup outcomes. Results point to the important relationship between different modes of identification both in the homeland and in hostland countries and intergroup‐related outcomes through resentment, and to the obstacles to reconciliation and forgiveness among victim groups of unacknowledged past trauma and genocide.
