This unique book lays out the motivational basis for tolerance, the
most important underlying factor that shapes people's social
attitudes and determines our ability to get along with others.
Closed- or open-mindedness distinguishes people open to information
and new ideas, prepared to change their views, from people who are
rigidly attached to their convictions and resistant to the unknown.
Demonstrating how the mechanism underlying closed-mindedness is
rooted in uncertainty and fear, with the fundamental consequence of
closed-mindedness being intolerance, the author shows how basic
features of human psychology drive large-scale socio-political
developments that determine the fate of peoples and nations.
Kossowska argues that recent political events across Europe,
including the popularity and rise of extreme right-wing groups, are
no longer adequately explained by traditional distinctions like
people versus the elite, religion versus no religion, left versus
right. Exploring how this can provide knowledge to increase the
capability of people, groups, or societies to improve their lives
in an era of uncertainty created by economic and political turmoil,
the book also focuses on discussing ways to make people more open,
thus tolerant. Written from a psychological perspective, this is an
ideal resource for students and academics in psychology and social
and political science, as well as anybody interested in
understanding psychological mechanisms of intolerance.
