Cultural psychology and experimental existential psychology are two
of the fastest-growing movements in social psychology. In this
book, Daniel Sullivan combines both perspectives to present a
groundbreaking analysis of culture's role in shaping the psychology
of threat experience. The first part of the book presents a new
theoretical framework guided by three central principles: that
humans are in a unique existential situation because we possess
symbolic consciousness and culture; that culture provides
psychological protection against threatening experiences, but also
helps to create them; and that interdisciplinary methods are vital
to understanding the link between culture and threat. In the second
part of the book, Sullivan presents a novel program of research
guided by these principles. Focusing on a case study of a
traditionalist group of Mennonites in the midwestern United States,
Sullivan examines the relationship between religion, community,
guilt, anxiety, and the experience of natural disaster.
