behavioral intentions toward this group, demonstrating that not all intergroup<br />
conflicts are the same. For example, perceiving a group to be an obstacle may lead<br />
to harassment because of feelings of anger, whereas perceiving a group to be a<br />

can lead to more positive behavioral intentions, such as the increased likelihood<br />
of helping a group.<br />
