Intergroup relations refer to the interactions and relationships between different social groups. These groups can be based on various factors, such as ethnicity, nationality, religion, or social class. Understanding intergroup relations is essential for addressing issues like prejudice, discrimination, and conflict, as well as promoting cooperation and social harmony. Research in intergroup relations often explores concepts like in-group and out-group dynamics, which describe how people identify with their own group while perceiving others as different. This field also examines the impact of stereotypes and social identity on behavior, aiming to foster positive interactions and reduce tensions between diverse groups.
