Abstract

Intergroup emotions theory seeks to understand and improve intergroup relations by focusing on the emotions engendered by belonging to, and by deriving identity from, a social group (processes called self-categorization and identification). Intergroup emotions are shaped by the very different ways in which members of different groups see group-relevant objects and events. These emotions come, with time and repetition, to be part and parcel of group membership itself. Once evoked, specific intergroup emotions direct and regulate specific intergroup behaviors. This approach has implications for theories of emotion as well as of intergroup relations. Because intergroup emotions derive from self-categorization and identification and because they strongly influence intergroup behavior, intergroup emotions theory provides an innovative framework for attempts to reduce prejudice and improve intergroup relations. There is a great difference between the Hindus and Muslims in tradition, in history and in their attitude towards life political, social and economic.

Highlights

Intergroup emotions theory seeks to understand and improve intergroup relations by focusing on the emotions engendered by belonging to, and by deriving identity from, a social group
Allport, (1954) has worked on the nature of prejudice and found that according to the social learning view, children acquire negative attitudes toward various social groups because they hear such views expressed by parents, teachers and others, and because they are directly rewarded for adopting these views
Allport, (1954) Bandura, (1977) & Mischel,(1966) have worked on social learning view of sex differences in behavior & Social learning theory and they suggested that prejudice is learned and it develops in much the same manner and through the same basic mechanism as other attitudes

Summary

Introduction

Intergroup emotions theory seeks to understand and improve intergroup relations by focusing on the emotions engendered by belonging to, and by deriving identity from, a social group (processes called self-categorization and identification). Schachter & Singer (1962) had worked on Cognitive, social, and physiological determinants of emotional state and studied that intergroup emotions feel pretty much the same as individual emotions do.
