Individuals with a pro-social mindset show more trust and love towards their own group in competitive conflicts, compared to those with a self-focused mindset. This behavior is driven by a desire to benefit their own group, rather than by negative feelings towards the opposing group. Pro-social individuals prioritize fairness within their group when making decisions. Trust within the group plays a key role in fostering love and cooperation among its members during intergroup conflicts.
