Description
Social Identifications: A Comprehensive Approach to Intergroup Relations and Group Processes This book provides a thorough introduction to social identity theory, developed by Henri Tajfel, John Turner, and their colleagues. Michael Hogg and Dominic Abrams offer a readable account of this approach, situating it within the broader context of psychology. The authors explore how people derive their sense of identity from the groups they belong to, and how this affects their thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. They examine key topics such as discrimination, stereotyping, conformity, and collective behaviour, providing a complete and integrated understanding of group dynamics. With its extensive references and suggestions for further reading, Social Identifications is an invaluable resource for social psychologists and other social scientists studying group behaviour.
