Synopsis

In recent years there has been a rapprochement between the traditionally opposing theories of North American social cognition and European social identity theory. This book represents a milestone in the progress of research in group processes and intergroup relations as the editors examine what the theories have to offer to each other and the future of social psychology. The contributors, who are strongly identified with one of the two traditions, consider explicitly how that field's work relates to their opposing tradition, for example a social cognition researcher considers how their research relates to a social identity approach. This book builds on the strengths of both social cognition and social identity approaches to ask new questions and provide new answers. The same underlying problem faces social psychology as a whole - how to understand the relationship between mental or psychological processes and social processes - however there is now a recognition that tackling the problem requires a theoretical framework that encompasses both approaches. That framework emerges through the chapters of this book and shows the way forward for the social psychology of group processes and intergroup relations.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Social Identitiy and Social Cognition brings together key researchers in social identity and social cognition to address the interface between the two traditionally opposing approaches. This book represents a milestone in the progress of social psychological research as the editors and contributors examine what each of the processes have to offer not only to each other, but to the future of social psychology as a whole.

Building on the strengths of both approaches, the book captures exciting new developments and articulates an emerging framework for the social psychology of intergroup and group processes. Social Identity and Social Cognition provides an invaluable sourcebook for researchers and upper–level students alike.

Revue de presse

" Social Identity and Social Cognition demonstrates compellingly how cross–communication between different theoretical perspectives can inform and enrich social psychological theory. Each of the contributing authors to this volume has taken seriously their task of integrating insights from the social identity and social cognition traditions, with the result that each chapter contributes something new to both literatures." Professor Marilynn B. Brewer, Ohio State University
