Intergroup Relations, written by Marilynn Brewer in collaboration with Norman Miller, is a leading textbook on social psychology focused on intergroup relations. This reference work addresses the origins of group identification, the causes and consequences of group differentiation, and strategies for reducing intergroup conflict without losing group loyalty.
The fully revised edition offers up-to-date insights and adds new social-psychological research, with references to recent international developments. The book highlights the role of group identities in human behavior, ranging from heroic acts for one’s own group to serious conflicts with other groups. This makes it a valuable tool for students and professionals in social psychology and related social sciences.
