Globalization has existed for many centuries as a process by which cultures influence
and change one another through trade, migration,
and communication. Yet, the speed
and breadth of these processes have accelerated in the last few decades. In this workshop we plan to examine the social psychological dynamics of identity in a globalized world. Making use of the conceptual
and empirical tools of a social psychological approach, we are interested in the interaction between macro-
level (socio-cultural context)
and micro-
level (individuals) processes. This will allow us to develop our understanding of how individuals reflect on
and are influenced by macro processes (economic, political, societal change),
and how these processes might transform (social) identities, attitudes, emotions,
and behaviour. The current meeting brings together researchers from different scientific
and cultural backgrounds to investigate the question of identity in a globalized world from a variety of perspectives
and to exchange ideas on how to develop a social psychology of globalization.
