In this article a literature review of an important area of Social Psychology, related to behaviour among groups, is presented. Given the scope of this area, the present review only includes the following research topics: -Individual processes in intergroup behaviour. -Belonging to a group and intergroup behaviour. -Intergroup behaviour and reduction of discrimination. The fact that the is based on this analysis are the concepts and theory of Henri Tajfel, it reflects my acknowledgment of the importance of this author in this field. However, I cannot but take a critical stand on some points of his theory, and to admit that a more complete review would involve the exploration of other lines of research, which in the meantime have been carried out by the Geneve School.

Palabras clave : Intergroup behaviour; group; social identity; social categorization.
