Intergroup Associations

Intergroup associations refer to the relationships and attitudes between different social groups, such as ethnicities, nationalities, or religious communities. These associations can shape perceptions and behaviors, influencing how groups interact with one another. Positive intergroup associations might lead to collaboration and understanding, while negative ones can result in conflict and prejudice. Researchers study these dynamics to understand social cohesion, discrimination, and how to foster better relationships among diverse groups. Ultimately, improving intergroup associations can contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious society.
