The global increase in cultural and religious diversity has led to a call for tolerance of group differences to achieve harmony among groups. Although many socio-economic studies have studied the nature of stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination and their impact on such prejudices, few studies focus on the nature and effects of tolerance of inter-group relations. Tolerance does not require people to renounce their objections to rules and practices outside the group, but rather to mutual adaptation. By integrating studies of various social sciences, we study the nature of inter-group tolerance, including its three components, objection, acceptance and rejection, while determining its importance for future sociological research. We then investigate some psychological implications for social groups that are subject to tolerance.

Therefore, in the article "Socio-psychological components of intergroup tolerance» we consider complex forms of influence in the tolerance group in the groups of both the majority and minorities, as well as the dynamic interaction of both groups in pluralistic societies.
