Abstract:
The Social Psychology of Group Identity and Social Conflict: Theory, Application, and Practice examines the far-reaching influence of Herbert C. Kelman, a psychologist who is both a scientist and a peacemaker. Kelman is renowned for his contributions to the study of social influence as well as to international conflict resolution and the peace research movement. He developed the interactive problem-solving method, which helped lay the groundwork for the 1993 Oslo agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. His work has profoundly affected the ways in which social psychologists think about the links between personal and national identity, between intragroup and intergroup processes, and between individual behavior and the functioning of social systems. In this edited volume, scholars describe cutting-edge research that has been influenced by Kelman's seminal work. Their work explores four areas: social influence processes, national identity and nationalism, ethics of social research, and ethnic conflict resolution. As they consider the theoretical foundations of research on social influence and social conflict, they apply the theory to health issues, educational practices, organizational effectiveness, international peace, and the practice of conflict resolution. This collection of essays illustrates that psychology can be a powerful tool for individual, organizational, and societal change. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved)
