Abstract:
This study investigates the multidimensional nature of group identity of people who were not directly involved
in Ukrainian conflict and how this different dimensions are uniquely related to in-group and out-group
evaluations, intergroup bias, and perceived above-mentioned intergroup conflict. It was expected that at least
one of the major dimensions of group identity will influence the perception of a conflict, additionally, was
hypothesized that affective dimension of group identity to be the most strongly related to expressions of bias
in conflict perception, since it is most likely to be related with the strength of connections between group and
person.
