Theoretical, Empirical, and Practical Approaches to Intergroup Conflict

The study of intergroup relations has long been an interest of social scientists, particularly members of The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. The articles in this issue offer a wide variety of theoretical, empirical, and practical approaches to understanding and resolving national and international group conflict. This introductory article summarizes the original social psychological work that laid the foundation for contemporary thinking on intergroup relations, and presents an overview of each of the contributions in this issue. Also discussed are applications of social psychology to real-world intergroup conflicts.     

秋天,到坝上去

坝上,其实是一个很宽泛的概念,所指的区域很大,包括围场坝上、丰宁坝上、沽源坝上等.而摄影人最常去的还是塞罕坝,也就是从围场坝上(塞罕坝机械林场)再往北走20公里,进入内蒙古的克什克腾旗乌兰布统草原红山军马场,这里是坝上摄影的最佳选择之地.主要有:喇嘛山、小红山、北沟、东沟、刘家地、大峡谷、五彩山、夹皮沟、将军泡子、小河头、桦木沟、蛤蟆坝等地.这里集丘陵、草原、湖泊、森林、牧群于一身,场面壮观光影灵动,一山一水一草一木皆成美景,都集中在军马场的周围.如果运气好的话,每天都能够遇到适宜拍摄的理想光线,那你一定收获颇丰.     

Learning about Difference, Learning with Others, Learning to Transgress

Emerging work in intergroup contact has vitalized a focus on processes affecting the impact of interventions on outcomes. We theorized that intergroup learning—learning about other groups, educating others about one's own groups, intention to bridge intergroup differences, and reflecting on one's own group—mediates the effect of a combined enlightenment-encounter curricular intervention on assessments of importance and confidence in taking action to reduce prejudice and promote diversity. Results from a pretest/posttest design with a diverse group of undergraduate social welfare majors (n = 175) show (a) increased motivation for intergroup learning, and importance of taking action, and confidence in doing so, and (b) intergroup learning partially or fully mediates the impact of enlightenment and/or encounter on taking action .

Training, geography, and provision of aging services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender older adults

This research study surveyed leaders of Area Agencies on Aging (agencies) to understand their services, training, and beliefs about serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults. Half of the existing agencies in the United States (320) participated. Few agencies provided LGBT services or outreach. One-third had trained staff around LGBT aging and four-fifths were willing to offer training; these numbers were significantly higher for urban-based agencies. Agencies that had provided staff training and urban-based agencies were more likely to provide LGBT outreach and services, to believe in addressing LGBT issues, and to receive LGBT assistance requests. Training, policy, organizing, and research implications are considered.
