This cross-journal collection highlights recent advances in understanding group behaviour and identity. Topics of interest include research from any theoretical perspective as long as it relates to social group dynamics. For example, how social identities affect people's experiences and self-perceptions, and/or intergroup relations including stereotyping and prejudice.

This collection encourages studies addressing disease heterogeneity, phenotypes and endotypes, risk stratification, progression, prognosis, treatment response, as well as innovative translational studies, including hybrid studies integrating mechanistic or translational insights with clinical data. Research examining social, environmental, and structural determinants of respiratory health is also within scope.
