The concept of social identity occupies a central position in
contemporary social psychology. S"ocial Identities: Motivational,
Emotional, Cultural Influences "reports recent developments in the
analysis of motivational and affective aspects of social identity
processes. The book also examines the cross-cultural generality of
Social Identity Theory explanations of intergroup competitiveness,
which have strongly influenced international research in this area.
People's social identities and self-evaluation are thought to be
largely derived from group memberships; it is presumed that people
are motivated to attain positivity in these identities by favoring
the ingroup in intergroup comparisons. An increasing stream of
research is being devoted to extending the applicability of social
identity concepts to intergroup relations and related fields.
The editors present here a collection of contributions from leading
figures in social psychology which explore the state of the art in
social identity theory. The most prominent motivational theories of
identification are reported. Central themes concern:
- motivations which lead individuals to join a group and identify
with it
- the role emotions have in favoring (or hindering) intergroup
relations
- the effect of emotions on intergroup behavior
- how people react to social identity threats
Aiming to shed new light on important social problems like
prejudice, bigotry, and intense conflicts around the world, this
unique volume will be indispensable to students and researchers of
social psychology, sociology and cultural studies.
