The psychology of intergroup relations was grounded in intragroup processes

Behav Brain Sci. 2024 Jan 15;47:e21. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X23002650.ABSTRACTAlthough Glowacki proposed that peace developed from the relatively recent advent of intergroup norms and tolerance for out-group members, we submit that (a) positive intergroup relations developed from a psychology grounded in the regulation of intragroup relations, (b) the "default" intergroup orientation is uncertainty, and (c) positive intergroup relations likely existed early in our evolutionary history.PMID:38224082 | DOI:10.1017/S0140525X23002650
