什么是团体？我们怎么知道我们属于哪个群体呢？我们如何将其他人分配到组中？社会科学中的许多理论化都将“群体”概念化为“类别”的同义词。然而，这种方法有很大的局限性，特别是对于预测新的组间环境和组间动态将如何随着时间的变化而变化。在这里，我将激活广义联盟心理的条件系统化--承认他人不仅与自己，而且与他人协调的能力和可能性。首先，我综述了认知过程的最新研究进展，这些过程导致了联合和群体偏见偏好的推断(即使在没有类别标签的情况下)。然后，我回顾了关于评估、情绪、归因和联盟间损害的协调能力和可能性的推断的下游后果。最后，我讨论了如何利用这些心理杠杆来减轻群体间的敌意。可以有把握地假设，对于这个或那个群体，不可能有单独的偏见心理，但它们是总的偏见图景的具体案例。
What is a group? How do we know to which groups we belong? How do we assign others to groups? A great deal of theorizing across the social sciences, has conceptualized "groups" as synonymous with "categories." There are significant limitations to this approach, however, particularly for making predictions about novel intergroup contexts and about how intergroup dynamics will change over time. Here I systematize the conditions under which a generalized coalitional psychology gets activated-the recognition of another's capacity for and likelihood of coordination not only with oneself but with others. First, I synthesize recent developments in research on the cognitive processes that give rise to the inference of coalitions and group-biased preferences (even in the absence of category labels). Then I review downstream consequences of inferences about capacity and likelihood of coordination for valuation, emotions, attribution, and inter-coalitional harm. Finally, I discuss ways to use these psychological levers to attenuate intergroup hostility. [It] is safe to assume that there cannot be separate psychologies of prejudice in relation to this or that group, but that they are specific cases of the general picture of prejudice.
