This groundbreaking volume explores the concept of self-censorship
as it relates to individuals and societies and functions as a
barrier to peace. Defining self-censorship as the act of
intentionally and voluntarily withholding information from others
in the absence of formal obstacles, the volumes introduces
self-censorship as one of the socio-psychological mechanisms that
prevent the free flow of information and thus obstruct proper
functioning of democratic societies. Moreover it analyzes this
socio-psychological phenomenon specifically in the context of
intractable conflict, providing much evidence from the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Moving from the micro to the macro
level, the collected chapters put the individual as the focal unit
of psychological analysis while embedding the individual in
multiple levels of context including families, organizations, and
societies. Following a firm conceptual explanation of
self-censorship, a selection of both emerging and prominent
scholars describe the ways in which self-censorship factors into
families, organizations, education, academia, and other settings.
Further chapters discuss self-censorship in military contexts,
narratives of political violence, and the media. Finally, the
volume concludes by looking at the ways in which harmful
self-censorship in societies can be overcome, and explores the
future of self-censorship research. In doing so, this volume
solidifies self-censorship as an important phenomenon of social
behavior with major individual and collective consequences, while
stimulating exciting and significant new research possibilities in
the social and behavioral sciences. Conceptually carving out a new
area in peace psychology, Self Censorship in Contexts of Peace and
Conflict will appeal to psychologists, sociologists, peace
researchers, political scientists, practitioners, and all those
with a wish to understand the personal and societal functioning of
individuals in the real world.
