来自不同群体的人之间的接触会引发具体的个人和群体层面的反应，从态度和情绪到福利和健康结果。标准的社会心理学观点还没有为这些现象提供一个综合的因果模型。作为替代方案，我们描述了一个联盟的角度来看。人类心理学包括进化的认知系统，旨在获得其他个体的支持、组织和维持联盟以及衡量群体成员的潜在支持。联盟之间的关系受到威胁检测机制的强烈影响，这些机制对表示自己的团体将提供较少支持或其他团体是危险的线索很敏感。对这种威胁线索的重复感知会导致慢性压力。该模型提供了一个简约的解释，许多个人层面的影响，组间关系和群体层面的差异，在健康和福祉。这一观点提出了新的研究方向，旨在了解参与群体间关系的心理过程。
Contact between people from different groups triggers specific individual- and group-level responses, ranging from attitudes and emotions to welfare and health outcomes. Standard social psychological perspectives do not yet provide an integrated, causal model of these phenomena. As an alternative, we describe a coalitional perspective. Human psychology includes evolved cognitive systems designed to garner support from other individuals, organize and maintain alliances, and measure potential support from group members. Relations between alliances are strongly influenced by threat detection mechanisms, which are sensitive to cues that express that one's own group will provide less support or that other groups are dangerous. Repeated perceptions of such threat cues can lead to chronic stress. The model provides a parsimonious explanation for many individual-level effects of intergroup relations and group-level disparities in health and well-being. This perspective suggests new research directions aimed at understanding the psychological processes involved in intergroup relations.
