Abstract

The guide provides a systematic overview of the main ideas, concepts, and empirical studies that have shaped the social identity approach—one of the leading and most theoretically developed areas of contemporary Western social psychology. Drawing on an analysis of a broad range of English-language theoretical and empirical studies, the guide summarizes and systematizes the key ideas of the social identity approach—from its origins and major scholars to the analysis of social identity as a psychological characteristic of the individual, the mechanisms through which it operates in intragroup processes, intergroup relations, and large-scale social systems. The handbook also examines the potential applications of this approach for analyzing and forecasting social processes under conditions of crisis and uncertainty. The guide will be useful for researchers, lecturers, students, and practitioners, as well as representatives of public institutions involved in shaping social and humanitarian policy, and anyone interested in understanding how social identity influences the behavior of individuals and groups in the contemporary world.
