Abstract: | Patricia G. Devine's original examinations of the interpersonal dynamics in intergroup relations have educated us about the contemporary manifestations of the American dilemma, and her evenhanded blending of psychological theory and social problems has enriched our understanding of the troubling intergroup relations that characterize every society. This article discusses her life and contributions to the field of psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
