An overview of developments in social identity theory from scholars in the field. Dora Capozza and Rupert Brown bring together contributions which represent trends in a fast-moving field. Three major areas are addressed: theoretical contributions to the field; empirical assessments of key elements of the theory; and applications of social identity theory to effect changes in problematic intergroup relationships.
