The Exploration of Social Psychological Mechanism of Intergroup relations

The social psychological mechanism of intergroup relations is systematically explored in this paper. Intergroup relations are defined as interactions among people who view themselves as members from different groups, rather than separate, unique individuals. Intergroup relations tend to be conflictive. The most important factors that influence intergroup relations are social categorization, relative deprivation, threat and counterthreat, trust and distrust. Recategorization, cross-categorization, multiculturalism, contact, cooperation and interdependence, reducing threat, depersonalizing conflict and third-party intervention are the main strategies we can use to reduce conflicts and improve intergroup relations.
