Group Processes: Dynamics within and Between Groups

Rupert Brown introduces readers to the major theoretical and empirical developments in the field of group dynamics in a clear and compelling way. The book draws together the very considerable research conducted into group behaviour by other psycologists and by the author himself. There are lavish supporting illustrations from contemporary life, focusing on such important issues as crowd behaviour, social conformity, group productivity ethnic prejudice and conflict and cooperation between groups.

Rupert Brown is the editor of Intergroup Processes (British Psychological Society 1984) and co-editor with Miles Hewstone of Contact and Conflict in Intergroup Encounters (Blackwell 1986). He has taught and researched into group processes for more than ten years.
