The issue of psychological security within an increasingly
unstable, interconnected world has become a defining challenge of
modern individual and cultural life. The terror attacks of
September 11, 2001 and the global financial crisis that unfolded in
2008 have intensified a sense of global and personal insecurity.
This concern with psychological insecurity is reflected in
contemporary culture, politics, the business world, consumer
behavior, the arts, and other areas. Within this context, the
psychological sciences have kept pace, vigorously investigating
these issues. This handbook features the latest theory and research
examining cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to
security threats. It expands the conceptual focus from specific
security threats to the broader range of antecedents, processes,
and consequences of psychological security/insecurity. The chapters
are organized into four content areas: personal security in
individual contexts, personal security in interpersonal contexts,
personal security with cultural and health contexts, and
interdisciplinary analyses of personal security. They represent a
new and vibrant area of research unified by the common goal of
understanding the factors that shape a sense of personal security.
Together, these provocative chapters provide specific starting
points that will shape future theory, policy, and practice on this
dominant social issue of the 21st Century and, more importantly,
offer opportunities to connect social and personality psychology to
its scientific kin.
