Guided by established psychological theory, these are embraced within a unifying framework centered around the concepts of responsibility and blame. A valuable contribution to the understanding of fundamental social issues." Bernard Weiner, Distinguished Research Professor, University of California, Los Angeles Questions about the causes of events, from terrorist attacks to mass shootings to economic and public health crises dominate conversations across the US. Recent research in social psychology outlines the process we use to identify the causes of such events, reveals how we determine who is responsible or to blame, and documents the far-reaching consequences of these determinations for our emotions, our actions, and our attitudes. Current approaches to political opinions posit a direct path from a persons worldview (liberal or conservative) to their attitudes toward specific political issues like abortion and welfare. This book argues that blame is the missing link between the two. Gail Sahar demonstrates that the current emphasis on value differences, whether between conservatives and liberals in the U.S. or between religious and secular countries on a global level, ignores commonalities in the way people think about issues. She proposes that focusing on perceived causes of social problems is a much more promising avenue for dialog than trying to reconcile fundamental belief systems. Informed by the latest psychological science, this new take on how to change attitudes has implications for anyone seeking to influence the viewpoints of others, from politicians and activists to ordinary people talking about current events at a dinner party. Gail Sahar is Jane Oxford Keiter Professor of Psychology, Wheaton College, Massachusetts USA. Professor Sahar has been researching the effects of causal perceptions on political attitudes for over 30 years. Her research focuses on the links between political ideology, perceptions of the causes of social problems, blame, emotions, and attitudes toward controversial social issues, such as poverty, abortion, and terrorism. 001454219 650_0 $$aCulture conflict$$zUnited States. 001454219 650_0 $$aSocial psychology$$zUnited States. 001454219 650_0 $$aBlame$$xPolitical aspects$$zUnited States. 001454219 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$xPsychological aspects. 001454219 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xCivilization. 001454219 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001454219 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303120235X$$z9783031202353$$w(OCoLC)1346350628 001454219 852__ $$bebk 001454219 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-20236-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001454219 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1454219$$pGLOBAL_SET 001454219 980__ $$aBIB 001454219 980__ $$aEBOOK 001454219 982__ $$aEbook 001454219 983__ $$aOnline 001454219 994__ $$a92$$bISE
