title: From extreme emotions to extreme actions: explaining non-normative collective action and reconciliation.
abstract: A key argument of Dixon et al. in the target article is that prejudice reduction through intergroup contact and collective action work in opposite ways. We argue for a complementary approach focusing on extreme emotions to understand why people turn to nonnormative collective action and to understand when and under what conditions extreme emotions may influence positive effects of contact on reconciliation.
