Abstract
‘Intergroup relations’ considers a range of theories that encompass the perceived relationships between the individual, their own group, and other groups, and that provide a range of psychological approaches for preventing prejudice, intolerance, and conflict, and for promoting more positive intergroup relations. Theories include the minimal group paradigm, the mere categorization effect, the category differentiation model, social identity theory, the common ingroup identity model, and the contact hypothesis, which proposed that contact would only decrease conflict under certain conditions such as when contact takes the form of a cooperative interaction. Experiencing pro-social behaviour promotes a more positive pro-social orientation for the individual in general.
