  • Social Psychology of Violence
    Social Psychology of Violence From "Encyclopedia of Violence, Peace and Conflict" Situational, Cognitive, and Systemic Sources of Violence Three Kinds of Violence: Episodic, Structural, and Cultural Analysis of Conflict and Violence at Multiple Levels Social Psychology of Peace-making Social Psychology of Structural and Cultural Violence Peace Psychology: The Pursuit of Peace-building Further Reading Glossary Enemy Images Exaggerated representations of the ‘other’ as thoroughly diabolical, aggressive, and untrustworthy. Dehumanization The mental process of stripping away the human qualities of the other. Fundamental Attribution Error The tendency to perceive the bad behavior of out-group members to bad character and to perceive the bad behavior of in-group members to situational factors. Structural Violence Indirect violence through social injustice, inequity, and failure to meet basic human needs for items such as food and shelter. Superordinate Goals Goals that lie within the interests of each group in a conflict but that can be attained only through intergroup cooperation, which reduces tensions and destructive conflict. Social psychology examines the psychological influence of people on people. Although violence such as the mass killing at Virginia Tech in April 2007 by a lone gunman is often seen as individual aggression, social psychology analyzes such acts through the lens of social and situational influences. Situational, Cognitive, and Systemic Sources of Violence Following World War II, psychological analyses of violence often emphasized personality variables, such as the degree to which people are receptive to prejudice or have a tendency to endorse authoritarian beliefs. This emphasis arose as an effort to understand the rise of fascism in Europe and later, the problem of race relations in the United States.

Sunday, November 25, 2007; Page N06 In the arena of lie detecting, it's important to remember that no emotion tells you its source. Think of Othello suffocating Desdemona because he interpreted her tears (over Cassio's death) as the reaction of an adulterer, not a friend. Othello made an assumption and killed his wife. Oops. The moral of the story: Just because someone exhibits the behavior of a liar does not make them one. "There isn't a silver bullet," psychologist Paul Ekman says. "That's because we don't have Pinocchio's nose. There is nothing in demeanor that is specific to a lie." Nevertheless, there are indicators that should prompt you to make further inquiries that may lead to discovering a lie. Below is a template for taking the first steps, gleaned from interviews with Ekman and several other experts, as well as their works. They are psychology professors Maureen O'Sullivan (University of San Francisco), (ISTOCKPHOTO) Robert Feldman (University of Massachusetts) and Bella DePaulo (University of California at Santa Barbara); TOOLBOX communication professor Mark Frank (University at Resize Text Save/Share + Buffalo); and body language trainer Janine Driver (a.k.a.

  • Ekman, Emotional Expression, and the Art of Empirical Epiphany
    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN PERSONALITY Journal of Research in Personality 38 (2004) 37–44 www.elsevier.com/locate/jrp Ekman, emotional expression, and the art of empirical epiphany Dacher Keltner* Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, 3319 Tolman, 94720 Berkeley, CA, USA Introduction In the mid and late 1960s, Paul Ekman offered a variety of bold assertions, some seemingly more radical today than others (Ekman, 1984, 1992, 1993). Emotions are expressed in a limited number of particular facial expressions. These expressions are universal and evolved. Facial expressions of emotion are remarkably brief, typically lasting 1 to 5 s. And germane to the interests of the present article, these brief facial expressions of emotion reveal a great deal about peopleÕs lives. In the present article I will present evidence that supports this last notion ad- vanced by Ekman, that brief expressions of emotion reveal important things about the individualÕs life course. To do so I first theorize about how individual differences in emotion shape the life context. With this reasoning as backdrop, I then review four kinds of evidence that indicate that facial expression is revealing of the life that the individual has led and is likely to continue leading. Individual differences in emotion and the shaping of the life context People, as a function of their personality or psychological disorder, create the sit- uations in which they act (e.g., Buss, 1987). Individuals selectively attend to certain features of complex situations, thus endowing contexts with idiosyncratic meaning. Individuals evoke responses in others, thus shaping the shared, social meaning of the situation.
