________ occurs when people who are not directly harmed by a rival group seek retribution against members of that out-group,who were not the original perpetrators of the initial attack on the in-group.

A) Vicarious retribution
B) Team discontinuity effect
C) Extremism
D) Collective narcissism

Vicarious retribution refers to seeking revenge against members of an out-group who did not necessarily harm the in-group directly. It is a phenomenon commonly observed in intergroup conflicts, where some members of the in-group feel a need to retaliate against the out-group as a whole, even if not all members of the out-group were involved in the initial attack on the in-group. The other options, team discontinuity effect, extremism, and collective narcissism, do not fully capture the concept described in the question.
