我们回顾了关于人类社会群体形成、合作和冲突背后的心理和生物因素的最新研究。我们的目标是将群体间神经科学文献与群体过程和群体间关系的经典理论相结合，努力超越仅仅描述特定社会外群体对大脑和行为的影响。相反，我们更普遍地强调支配群体间互动的潜在心理过程：通过群体之间的社会认同和功能关系形成和更新我们对“我们”和“他们”的表征。这种方法强调了社会身份的动态本质和群体间关系的背景依赖性。我们认为，这种理论整合可以帮助协调文献中看似不一致的发现，为理解群间动力学的核心要素提供组织原则，并强调群间关系和神经科学接口的未来研究的几个令人兴奋的方向。
We review emerging research on the psychological and biological factors that underlie social group formation, cooperation, and conflict in humans. Our aim is to integrate the intergroup neuroscience literature with classic theories of group processes and intergroup relations in an effort to move beyond merely describing the effects of specific social out-groups on the brain and behavior. Instead, we emphasize the underlying psychological processes that govern intergroup interactions more generally: forming and updating our representations of "us" and "them" via social identification and functional relations between groups. This approach highlights the dynamic nature of social identity and the context-dependent nature of intergroup relations. We argue that this theoretical integration can help reconcile seemingly discrepant findings in the literature, provide organizational principles for understanding the core elements of intergroup dynamics, and highlight several exciting directions for future research at the interface of intergroup relations and neuroscience.
