This work brings together internationally prominent researchers in the field of intergroup relations and group processes to highlight the role of motivational constructs in their recent empirical, theoretical and critical work. They address issues ranging from universal underlying motives for joining a group or constructing a social identity, through motives influencing choice of specific group membership, to motives associated with particular forms of inter- and intragroup behaviour. Such issues are discussed in diverse research contexts including interaction in small groups, large-scale intergroup relations, social categorization processes, social identity, cultural norms and stereotypes, intergroup contact, ethnolinguistic groups and group formation.

Can we ever be genuinely unprejudiced? What can we learn about people from how they speak? How can a minority change the world? Why do people obey authority, even when ordered to do evil? Why do groups sometimes make bad decisions? Can we study love scientifically, or should we leave it to the poets? Do violent computer games make violent people? Mapping the connection between social psychology and our everyday lives, the sixth edition of this market-leading textbook provides a lively and engaging introduction to the field. The book is supported by a new, user-friendly website featuring an interactive recap of the main text, self-test materials, guided questions, and a large range of videos and podcasts from different researchers for students to consolidate and test their understanding.

The authors of Social Identifications set out to make accessible to students of social psychology the social identity approach developed by Henri Tajfel, John Turner, and their colleagues in Bristol during the 1970s and 1980s. Michael Hogg and Dominic Abrams give a comprehensive and readable account of social identity theory as well as setting it in the context of other approaches and perspectives in the psychology of intergroup relations. They look at the way people derive their identity from the social groups to which they belong, and the consequences for their feelings, thoughts, and behaviour of psychologically belonging to a group. They go on to examine the relationship between the individual and society in the context of a discussion of discrimination, stereotyping and intergroup relations, conformity and social influence, cohesiveness and intragoup solidariy, language and ethnic group relations, and collective behaviour.  Social Identifications fills a gap in the literature available to students of social psychology. The authors' presentation of social identity theory in a complete and integrated form and the extensive references and suggestions for further reading they provide will make this an essential source book for social psychologists and other social scientists looking at group behaviour.

The Social Psychology of Group Cohesiveness: From Attraction to Social Identity

A tour de force. As a comprehensive review, it stands out as a unique resource not matched by any recent treatment of the group literature.--Marilyn Brewer, Professor of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles.
This advanced-level textbook analyzes how social psychology conceptualizes group cohesiveness and solidarity. Since 1950, the dominant perspective on this topic has been exposed through the concept of group cohesiveness: a concept tied to interpersonal processes among small interactive aggregates of people. Although repeatedly challenged, this perspective still thrives. In the first part of the book, Michael Hogg describes in detail the origins and nature of this concept, showing precisely how it has been modified, simplified, and ultimately reduced to personal attraction. A critique of reductionism in social psychology frames his central argument that problems with the group cohesiveness concept are due to its reduction of group processes to interpersonal processes. This critique sets the scene for the second part of the book, which presents an alternative, positive conceptualization of group cohesiveness and solidarity. This new perspective centers on social and self-categorization theories and presents current research in detail. Hogg uses new conceptual and methodological developments in social psychology to present an account of group cohesiveness more sophisticated and more complete than those based on a traditional understanding. The book ends with an examination of implications for our understanding of phenomena such as groupthink, social loafing, and group performance.
