Intergroup conflict is sadly part of our existence. Such conflicts exist around the globe originating through differences, for example, in beliefs, religion, race, and culture. The degree of conflict between rival groups varies from mild hostility to all-out war, leading to the loss of thousands of lives every year.

After reading this chapter (esp. the section on leadership) I am left with the question of why would an individual's leadership status motivate them to communicate across groups? Why would out-group members see the leader as such and why would a leader be interested in interacting with out-group members who might not see them as a leader. This question stems from an assumption that although leadership characteristics might be personality traits, 1) the group must recognize the individual with those traits as a leader and 2)those traits do not seem to be motivators for the leader to interact with unfamiliar others. So, the question becomes is whether leadership the key factor in cross group contact or is leadership a tangential factor?
