Given an involution $*$ in a group ring $RG$, we can define the sets $(RG)_*=\left\{\alpha\in RG:\alpha^*=\alpha\right\}$ and $(RG)_*^-=\left\{\alpha\in RG:\alpha^*=-\alpha\right\}$, called the set of symmetric and skew-symmetric elements, respectively. Under certain conditions in $R$, $G$, or the involution in $RG$, many authors proved that some identities satisfied in these sets could be lifted to the entire group ring, and, in some cases, given the impossibility of such lifting, they describe the basic structures of the group ring $RG$.

Generalizing the results found in [GP13a, GP13b, GP14], using a group homomorphism $\sigma:G\rightarrow \mathcal{U}(R)$, we will define and explore the involution $\sigma*:RG\rightarrow RG$, called generalized oriented involution, exposing the group structures, as well as the ring conditions, such that $(RG)_{\sigma*}$ or $(RG)_{\sigma*}^-$ be anticommutative.
