Categorização e interdependência: Duas perspectivas sobre a formação de grupos e relações intergrupais

Abstract

This article presents the controversy between interdependence and social identification perspectives. This debate concerns the role assigned to interdependence and categorization on group formation and intergroup behavior. We explain how the social identification perspective has pretended to exclude interdependence from group formation and intergroup discrimination and how the data obtained by the interdependence authors throw doubts on those conclusions.
