Acts of terrorism by Muslim extremists against innocents, and the spikes in anti-Muslim hate crimes against innocent Muslims that follow, suggest that reciprocal bouts of collective blame can spark cycles of violence. How can this cycle be short-circuited? After establishing a link between collective blame of Muslims and anti-Muslim attitudes and behavior, we used an \u201cinterventions tournament\u201d to identify a successful intervention (among many that failed). The \u201cwinning\u201d intervention reduced collective blame of Muslims by highlighting hypocrisy in the ways individuals collectively blame Muslims\u2014but not other groups (White Americans, Christians)\u2014for individual group members\u2019 actions. After replicating the effect in an independent sample, we demonstrate that a novel interactive activity that isolates the psychological mechanism amplifies the effectiveness of the collective blame hypocrisy intervention and results in downstream reductions in anti-Muslim attitudes and anti-Muslim behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0146167217744197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,18]],"date-time":"2017-12-18T06:33:46Z","timestamp":1513578826000},"page":"430-448","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Interventions Highlighting Hypocrisy Reduce Collective Blame of Muslims for Individual Acts of Violence and Assuage Anti-Muslim Hostility"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Emile","family":"Bruneau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA"},{"name":"Beyond Conflict Innovation Lab, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nour","family":"Kteily","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Falk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"bibr1-0146167217744197","first-page":"75","volume":"4","author":"Allpress J.
