{"product_id":"nonviolence-and-peace-psychology-von-daniel-mayton","title":"Nonviolence and Peace Psychology","description":"Recent trends and events worldwide have increased public interest in nonviolence, pacifism, and peace psychology as well as professional interest across the social sciences. Nonviolence and Peace Psychology assembles multiple perspectives to create a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the concepts and phenomena of nonviolence than is usually seen on the subject. Through this diverse literature—spanning psychology, political science, religious studies, anthropology, and sociology—peace psychologist Dan Mayton gives readers the opportunity to view nonviolence as a body of principles, a system of pragmatics, and a strategy for social change. This important volume:\n\n\n\nDraws critical distinctions between nonviolence, pacifism, and related concepts.\n\n\nClassifies nonviolence in terms of its scope (intrapersonal, interpersonal, societal, global) and pacifism according to political and situational dimensions.\n\n\nApplies standard psychological concepts such as beliefs, motives, dispositions, and values to define nonviolent actions and behaviors. \n\n\nBrings sociohistorical and cross-cultural context to peace psychology.\n\n\nAnalyzes a century’s worth of nonviolent social action, from the pathbreaking work of Gandhi and King to the Courage to Refuse movement within the Israeli armed forces. \n\n\nReviews methodological and measurement issues in nonviolence research, and suggests areas for future study.\n\n\nAlthough more attention is traditionally devoted to violence and aggression within the social sciences, Nonviolence and Peace Psychology reveals a robust knowledge base and a framework for peacebuilding work, granting peace psychologists, activists, and mediators new possibilities for the transformative power of nonviolence.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781441927927\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781441927927","offer_id":39415127933021,"sku":"9781441927927","price":117.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/95316ec1-7d34-4091-938a-99533a4a4759.jpg?v=1778386219","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/nonviolence-and-peace-psychology-von-daniel-mayton","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
