Focusing particularly on genocide, but also on other forms of mass killing, torture, and war, Ervin Staub explores the psychological, cultural, and societal roots of group aggression. He sketches a conceptual framework for the many influences on one group's desire to harm another: cultural and social patterns predisposing to violence, historical circumstances resulting in persistent life problems, and needs and modes of adaptation arising from the interaction of these influences. Such notions as cultural stereotyping and devaluation, societal self-concept, moral exclusion, the need for connection, authority orientation, personal and group goals, "better world" ideologies, justification, and moral equilibrium find a place in his analysis, and he addresses the relevant evidence from the behavioral sciences. Within this conceptual framework, Staub then considers the behavior of perpetrators and bystanders in four historical situations: the Holocaust (his primary example), the genocide of Armenians in Turkey, the "autogenocide" in Cambodia, and the "disappearances" in Argentina. Throughout, he is concerned with the roots of caring and the psychology of heroic helpers. In his concluding chapters, he reflects on the socialization of children at home and in schools, and on the societal practices and processes that facilitate the development of caring persons, and of care and cooperation among groups. A wide audience will find The Roots of Evil thought-provoking reading. 027241661 295 Psychologie sociale rameau 027255891 324 Violence 027790088 623 Aspect social rameau 027255891 324 Violence 02779007X 622 Aspect psychologique rameau 027218635 251 Agressivité rameau 027678539 573 Génocide 086305646 1251 20e siècle rameau 030968666 922 Staub Ervin 070 Abes 20150710 AFNOR 4437 MCAD MCAD Salle de lecture GENETUSTAU51993 GEN ETU STAU ՍԹՈ 5.1993 0 LIVR
