This supplement has been written to<br />

a sample of South African research<br />
studies in the following areas:<br />
• The self-serving bias<br />
• Attitudes and prejudice<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 />
