From Prejudice to Intergroup Emotions: Differentiated Reactions to Social Groups

by Diane M. Mackie (Editor), Eliot R. Smith (Editor)

Overview

The theories or programs of research described in the chapters of this book move beyond the traditional evaluation model of prejudice, drawing on a broad range of theoretical ancestry to develop models of why, when, and how differentiated reactions to groups arise, and what their consequences might be. The chapters have in common a re-focusing of interest on emotion as a theoretical base for understanding differentiated reactions to, and differentiated behaviors toward, social groups. The contributions also share a focus on specific interactional and structural relations among groups as a source of these differentiated emotional reactions. The chapters in the volume thus reflect a theoretical shift from an earlier emphasis on knowledge about ingroups and outgroups to a new perspective on prejudice in which socially-grounded emotional differentiation becomes a basis for social regulation.

Editorial Reviews

"Mackie and Smith have assembled an impressive line-up of leading scholars who share and interest in affective and emotional dimensions of intergroup phenomena. This book is a timely and quite original integration of diverse strands of research that address the 'hot' dimension of intergroup behavior—a dimension that has until recently taken the back seat to an emphasis on cognitive processes and structures. By bringing this work together, Mackie and Smith have done the field a great service in setting a clear agenda for this new emphasis in the social psychology of intergroup behavior." — Michael A. Hogg, University of Queensland
