Abstract

It is argued that the "classical" formulations of intergroup conflict have conceptual inadequacies and that they make assumptions which are disconfirmed by the research literature and by common experience. An alternative approach to intergroup conflict based on an analysis of the information needs of groups in conflict is proposed and supported by questionnaire results. Conflict resolution, socialprejudice, and the future development of intergroup theory are discussed in the light of the new perspective.
