2006

Friday, April 7, 2006, The Social Mind and Social Brain, Dr. Sam Gaertner, Professor of Social Psychology, The University of Delaware. "Corporate mergers and acquisitions, organizational consolidation, desegregation, and second marriages are but a few examples of a frequently occurring social phenomenon: The merger of two or more groups into one organizational structure. Professor Gaertner's work in both field and laboratory settings examines how intergroup relations across diverse settings such as these can be conducted more smoothly and effectively. Professor Gaertner's research, at a theoretical level, concerns the development of intergroup unity, which involves connectedness and cohesiveness between the memberships within a merged group structure. It is hypothesized that inducing the memberships of these groups to conceive of the aggregate as a single entity enables their relationship to benefit from their common ingroup identity. "
