This article explores boundaries of the intellectual map of inter-group processes, going to the macro (social structure) boundary and the micro (neural systems) boundary. Both are illustrated by with my own and others' work on social structures and on neural structures related to inter-group processes. Analysing the impact of social structures on inter-group processes led to insights about distinct forms of sexism and underlies current work on forms of ageism. The stereotype content model also starts with the social structure of inter-group relations (interdependence and status) and predicts images, emotions, and behaviours. Social structure has much to offer the social psychology of inter-group processes. At the other, less explored boundary, social neuroscience addresses the effects of social contexts on neural systems relevant to inter-group processes. Both social structural and neural analyses circle back to traditional social psychology as converging indicators of inter-group processes.
本文探讨了群体间过程的知识图谱的边界,包括宏观(社会结构)边界和微观(神经系统)边界。本文通过我自己和他人在社会结构以及与群体间过程相关的神经结构方面的工作来说明这两个边界。分析社会结构对群体间过程的影响,使我们深入了解了不同形式的性别歧视,并为当前关于年龄歧视形式的研究奠定了基础。刻板印象内容模型也是从群体间关系的社会结构(相互依存和地位)开始的,并预测了与群体间过程相关的形象、情感和行为。社会结构为群体间过程的社会心理学提供了很多启示。在另一个探索较少的边界上,社会神经科学研究了社会环境对与群体间过程相关的神经系统的影响。社会结构分析和神经分析都回到了传统的社会心理学,成为群体间过程的融合指标。
