Description

Group Processes: Dynamics with and Between Groups by Rupert Brown and Samuel Pehrson is a comprehensive volume covering all essential dynamics of group processes and intergroup relations. The new edition offers a critical appraisal of theory and research, extensively revised, expanded, and updated to reflect two decades of development in the field. This book explores topics such as group formation, norms, social influence, leadership, aggression, prejudice, solidarity, intergroup contact, and collective action, providing contemporary examples and illustrations. New content includes the contribution of groups to health and wellbeing, group-based emotions, hierarchy and oppression, intergroup helping and solidarity, acculturation, and reconciliation. Three interconnected themes - social identity, social context, and social action - illustrate how groups influence self and self-worth, the meaning and consequences of membership in groups, and how groups can drive change in environments.
