"Group Processes aims to deepen our understanding of relationships within and between groups by means of three key ideas. First, groups are a source of social identity; our sense of who we are and what we are worth derives from our group memberships. Second, there is a constant tension in group life between its task and socio-emotional aspects; getting on with the job whilst also 'getting on with people'. Third, group dynamics are frequently governed by comparison processes, both within the group and between the ingroup and various outgroups."--Jacket.
