Insecurity is an inevitable part of being human. Although life is
insecure for every organism, humans alone are burdened by knowing
that this is so. This ground-breaking volume features contributions
by leading international researchers exploring the social
psychology of insecurity, and how existential, metaphysical and
social uncertainty influence human social behaviour. Chapters in
the book investigate the psychological origins of insecurity,
evolutionary theorizing about the functions of insecurity, the
motivational strategies people adopt to manage insecurity,
self-regulation strategies, the role of insecurity in the formation
and maintenance of social relationships, and the influence of
insecurity and uncertainty on the organization of larger social
systems and public affairs. The chapters also discuss how
insecurity influences many areas of contemporary social life,
highlighting the applied implications of this line of research.
Topics covered include the role of insecurity in social
communication, social judgments, decision making, group
identification, morality, interpersonal behaviour, relationships,
attitudes and many applied aspects of social life and politics
where understanding the psychology of insecurity is of critical
importance. This accessible and engaging book will be of interest
to students, researchers and practitioners as a textbook or
reference book in behavioral and social science fields, as well as
to a broad spectrum of intelligent lay audience seeking to
understand one of the most intriguing issues that shapes human
social life.
