Resumo(s)
Many phenomena studied by social psychology are based on ideologies.
Ideologies are ideas or systems of ideas inspired by values and objectified in social
norms about the way societies should be. This chapter guides our attention to the
importance of the ideological dimension of intergroup relations. This dimensions
had been emphasized aleady by Tajfel in his latest writings, but has then been
largely neglected in intergroup research. This chapter covers research on explicit
ideologies such as colorblindness and multiculturalism as well as equalitarianism
and meritocracy, but also on rather ideology constituting fundamental beliefs such
as belief in a just world, limited scope of justice, and denial of full humanity to
outgroup members. The research the authors report demonstrates how ideologies
and shared fundamental beliefs have a pervasive influence on people's construction
of reality and can bias their judgment and their moral feelings, often undetected by
their consciousness. Importantly, these processes are fundamental for the legitimization
of asymmetric status and power relations between members of different
social groups.
