摘要研究通过文献计量学方法和科学知识图谱方法，对2010-2019年Web of Science数据库中群际关系文献进行了分析。研究发现：群际关系研究已形成群际接触、外群体非人化、群际帮助、人际过程、情感—认知一致、识解水平和社会分类等七大研究方向。此外，群际关系研究热点从基础性研究向解决实际问题、从基本模型向跨学科跨领域尝试演进，展现了基础和应用双重特征和跨学科潜力。最后，研究对未来群际关系研究的跨领域发展提出了展望。
Abstract：Research on intergroup relations has drawn vast scholarly attention in the field of social psychology, providing keys for the solution to social issues such as intergroup prejudice, discrimination and inequality. The present study employed the literature visualization software, namely CiteSpace, to analyze the literature on intergroup relations with bibliometric and knowledge-mapping methods. The sample literature was drawn from Web of Science database, and the recent 10 years from 2010 to 2019 were covered. Through an overview of the main features of intergroup relations literature, as well as descriptions of major research topics and evolutionary research foci, the analysis yielded meaningful findings. First, the literature on intergroup relations was on a rise overall, presenting highlighted topics within the theme, including intergroup contact, outgroup dehumanization, intergroup assistance, interpersonal processes, affective-cognitive consistency, construal level, social categorization, etc. In addition, pivotal points studies with the aims to construct or extend theories encouraged transitions on intergroup relations literature from fundamental research to problem solution and from basic modelling to interdisciplinary attempts. This indicates a dual role of intergroup relations research as both fundamental and applied, along with its interdisciplinary potential. Finally, prospective interdisciplinary development meriting continual research attention was discussed.
