I propose that the combination of the credibility enhancing displays bias with the prestige bias can lay ground for the transmission of violent behavior toward out-groups during an intergroup conflict, especially when framed with religious narratives and symbols. My poster will present an ongoing experimental research on modelling intergroup violence and religion’s influence on involved learning biases and group dynamics: (1) experimental results assessing the trustworthiness of a violent in-group member through self-reports, and (2) behavioral experimental designs utilizing economic games and eye-tracking methodologies. Understanding and explaining these mechanisms and group dynamics on a proximate level can help prevent more effectively the devastating outbreaks of “eye-for-an-eye” violence which tend to “stick around”, especially if framed in religious rhetoric.
