Abstract
As the most macroscopic and complicated social mental phenomenon, social mentality is surely quite complicated in its formation mechanism as well. As previously mentioned, in this book, we apply a perspective that is different from that of the “individual in the group” and the “group in the individual”—namely, the perspective of the mutual construction between “individual and group”. This perspective will help us to uncover the internal mechanism of such a macroscopic and complicated phenomenon, and able us to develop a theory to describe and explain more systematically the formation of social mentality and changes it undergoes.
