Abstract

This NeuroView explores intergroup conflict by synthesizing intergroup differences with three group-related neurocognitive processes. We suggest that intergroup differences at the aggregated-group level and interpersonal level are neurally dissociated and independently influence group dynamics as well as ingroup-outgroup conflicts.
