abstract |
The social psychology of intergroup relations has emerged largely from studies of
how one group of people (e.g., whites) think and feel about another (e.g., blacks).
By reducing the social world to binary categories, this approach has provided an effective
and efficient methodological framework. However, it has also obscured important features
of social relations in historically divided societies. This paper highlights the importance
of investigating intergroup relationships involving more than two groups and of exploring
not only their psychological but also their political significance. Exemplifying this
argument, we discuss the conditions under which members of disadvantaged groups either
dissolve into internecine competition or unite to challenge the status quo, highlighting
the role of complex forms of social comparison, identification, contact, and third-party
support for collective action. Binary conceptualizations of intergroup relations,
we conclude, are the product of specific sociohistorical practices rather than a natural
starting point for psychological research. |
