| Summary |
"In the present volume, we focus beyond the goal of reducing prejudice to explore what other factors might be necessary to improve relations between groups. This book brings together original contributions from leading scholars in social psychology who have begun to examine the motivations and processes that underlie people's ability to develop positive and meaningful relationships across group boundaries. The present volume compels us to move beyond our field's traditional focus on prejudice reduction, to consider novel approaches to studying intergroup attitudes and strategies that we can use to improve relations between groups"--Introduction.
