The global increase in cultural and religious diversity has led to calls for toleration of group differences to achieve intergroup harmony. Although much social-psychological research has examined the nature of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination, and its impact on targets of these biases, little research has examined the nature and impact of toleration for intergroup relations. Toleration does not require that people give up their objections to out-group norms and practices but rather mutual accommodation. Integrating research from various social sciences, we explore the nature of intergroup tolerance including its three components-objection, acceptance, and rejection-while drawing out its implications for future social-psychological research. We then explore some psychological consequences to social groups that are the object of toleration. By doing so, we consider the complex ways in which intergroup tolerance impacts both majority and minority groups and the dynamic interplay of both in pluralistic societies.

群体间宽容的社会心理学。

全球文化和宗教多样性的增长导致人们呼吁容忍群体差异，以实现群体间的和谐。尽管许多社会心理学研究已经检查了陈规定型观念，偏见和歧视的性质及其对这些偏见目标的影响，但很少有研究研究过宽容对群体间关系的性质和影响。宽容并不需要人们放弃对群体准则和惯例的反对，而应放弃相互的调停。结合各种社会科学的研究，我们探讨了群体间宽容的性质，包括其反对，接受和拒绝这三个组成部分，同时阐明了其对未来社会心理学研究的意义。然后，我们探讨了对容忍的对象对社会群体的一些心理后果。通过这样做，我们考虑了群体间容忍度影响多数和少数群体的复杂方式，以及多元社会中两者之间的动态相互作用。
