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.
