This book illuminates the importance of threat on the
representation of everyday life, from an interdisciplinary
perspective. Divided into three parts, the book sets out by
addressing the conceptual aspects of threat and by opening views on
phenomena and social processes associated with threat. It shows how
threat constitutes an analytical category that simultaneously
involves social, psychological, religious, historical and political
factors, and calls for a sufficiently broad conceptual definition
to integrate pluri-disciplinary contributions. The second part
focuses on the building of threats, mainly the environmental
threats that have reached a tragic dimension today and are a core
aspect of world concerns, the contemporary global terrorism, the
migrations and the challenges these bring to contemporary
societies, as well as the threats associated with the emergence of
nationalism and the diverse aspects of excluding the Other. The
final part examines the coping strategies, including oblivion,
denial and defiance associated with different sources of threats,
for instance those arising from epidemic and collective diseases,
financial technology, natural disasters and collective traumas.

This book describes how the violent dimension of intergroup
relations can be better understood if the interplay between
psychological and social-developmental factors is taken into
account. Ten unique, innovative and original chapters by
international scholars of social and developmental psychology
address the way how social reality is constructed as a hierarchical
order, and how social norms, beliefs and cognitive-behavioral
patterns are learned, shared and repeatedly processed on how to
uphold or challenge this social order. The volume covers diverse
issues such as the effects (or lack thereof) of power and violent
video games on people's thinking and behavior, the acquisition of
social norms and attitudes during childhood, minorities' identity
management strategies, the role of mothers' educational beliefs and
the impact of ideologies. This volume is inspired by the oeuvre of
Maria Benedicta Monteiro, emphasizing the psychogenetic and
sociogenic diacronies that are too often neglected by the
predominantly synchronic paradigm of social psychology. It is
therefore an indispensable reading for researchers and advanced
students in social, community and developmental psychology, for
scientifically interested practitioners working with families,
school contexts or intergroup conflict, and for everyone interested
in the expanding field of the social developmental approaches to
attitudes and behaviour.
