Description of the research topic:
My research is about the symptoms, functions, and consequences of the so-called collective victimhood consciousness. Collective victimhood consciousness is a sense which is defined as a mindset shared by group members that result from a perceived intentional harm with severe consequences, inflicted on the collective by another group. This harm is viewed as undeserved, unjust and immoral, and one that the group could not prevent. What kind of social identity can be developed by this mindset? What are the functions of the collective victimhood consciousness, why groups are often struggle to be acknowledged as the real victim of a conflict (this is called "competitive victimhood")? In the Hungarian context, the main concern is the perceived historical trajectory and its effect on current intergroup attitudes and beliefs.
