Summary:

The APA Handbook of Personality and Social Psychology, Volume 2: Group Processes (2015) provides a comprehensive overview of theory and research on group dynamics. It covers topics such as intragroup/intergroup processes, prejudice, and social relationships.

"This volume discusses group and intergroup processes. Each chapter tackles core issues on a specific topic, providing an up-to-date, theoretically integrated review of the literature. The topics covered by the chapters in this volume, however, do not consider all the meritorious topics on intragroup and intergroup processes. There are far too many important topics in the area at this time. Instead, the topics were selected to reflect some of the most active and promising areas in the study of group processes and intergroup relations. They blend core areas with new methodological and conceptual advances. Each chapter also illustrates the relevance of work in the area to other areas and to issues of practical importance, such as social justice, immigration, and collective action. In addition, each chapter outlines an agenda for future research. The authors were invited not only because of their accomplishment and expertise in the area but also because of their scholarly vision and imagination."-- Provided by publisher.
