Allophilia and Intergroup Leadership
Why not promoting liking of other groups instead of keep talking about prejudice and tolerance? I find that Todd Pittinksky developes a very interesting approach of reducing problems like racism, sexism, discrimination and you know the rest… and he argues that the necessary approach is not to replace prejudice with the neutral stance of tolerance. He uses the concept of allophilia, that provides a powerful anchor for a new framework for understanding intergroup leadership. “To help solve some of our most pressing domestic and global public problems, social scientists must develop an equally sophisticated understanding of intergroup liking and love.”
