title: Are attitudes the problem, and do psychologists have the answer? Relational cognition underlies intergroup relations.
abstract: The focus on negative attitudes toward other groups has led to a dichotomy between the prejudice reduction and the collective action approach. To solve the resulting problems identified by Dixon et al., we suggest analyzing the psychological processes underlying the construction of relationships (and their alternatives) between own and other groups.
