Abstract. The social psychology of intergroup relations deals with those psychol
ogical
processes underlying phenomena such as stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. Re
search
on this field has produced a wide range of explicative models. Some of them foc
us on
motivational processes, while others exclusively deal with cognitive mechanisms.
Some
theories make special emphasis on intra-individual variables, while others highlight the
role of
contextual factors in the emergence of intergroup hostility. Currently, research co
mbines
cognitive-motivational explanations, and different levels of analysis. Yet, this literature
shows
a) a lack of general theories able to integrate the large amount of empirical research a
massed
up till now, and b) a lack of research carried out in (and from) Asia, Africa and Latin Am
erica.
Key Words: Stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, intergroup relations, social psycholo
gy.
