How do otherwise ordinary people become perpetrators of genocide?
Why are groups targeted for mass killing? How do groups justify
these terrible acts? While there are no easy answers to these
questions, social psychologists are especially well positioned to
contribute to our understanding of genocide and mass killing. With
research targeting key questions -such as how negative impressions
of outgroups develop and how social influence can lead people to
violate their moral principles and other norms - social
psychologists have much to teach us about why groups of people
attempt to exterminate other groups, why people participate in such
atrocious projects, and how they live with themselves afterwards.
By bringing together research previously available only to readers
of academic journals, this volume sheds crucial light on human
behavior at the extremes and in doing so, helps us take one more
step towards preventing future tragedies.
