This supplement has been written to<br />

relationships<br />

• Pro-social behaviour and<br />

aggression<br />

• Affiliation tendencies and<br />

loneliness<br />

• Groups and group polarisation<br />

• Job satisfaction.<br />

Particular attention has been given<br />

to local social identity studies in the<br />

chapter dealing with the Self, while<br />

exciting, recent research dealing with<br />

contact between South African groups<br />

is presented in the chapters on attitude<br />

and prejudice.<br />
