Abstract

In his eye-opening book Why?, world-renowned social scientist Charles Tilly exposed some startling truths about the excuses people make and the reasons they give. Now he's back with further explorations into the complexities of human relationships, this time examining what's really going on when we assign credit or cast blame. Everybody does it, but few understand the hidden motivations behind it. With his customary wit and dazzling insight, Tilly takes a lively and thought-provoking look at the ways people fault and applaud each other and themselves. The stories he gathers in Credit and Blame range from the everyday to the altogether unexpected, from the revealingly personal to the insightfully humorous--whether it's the gushing acceptance speech of an Academy Award winner or testimony before a congressional panel, accusations hurled in a lover's quarrel or those traded by nations in a post-9/11 crisis, or a job promotion or the Nobel Prize. Drawing examples from literature, history, pop culture, and much more, Tilly argues that people seek not only understanding through credit and blame, but also justice. The punishment must fit the crime, accomplishments should be rewarded, and the guilty parties must always get their just deserts. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Credit and Blame is a book that revolutionizes our understanding of the compliments we pay and the accusations we make.

Abstract

What makes good people do bad things? How can moral people be seduced to act immorally? Where is the line separating good from evil, and who is in danger of crossing it? Renowned social psychologist Philip Zimbardo has the answers, and in 'The Lucifer Effect 'he explains how& and the myriad reasons why& we are all susceptible to the lure of & the dark side.& Drawing on examples from history as well as his own trailblazing research, Zimbardo details how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women. Zimbardo is perhaps best known as the creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment. Here, for the first time and in detail, he tells the full story of this landmark study, in which a group of college-student volunteers was randomly divided into & guards& and & inmates& and then placed in a mock prison environment. Within a week the study was abandoned, as ordinary college students were transformed into either brutal, sadistic guards or emotionally broken prisoners. By illuminating the psychological causes behind such disturbing metamorphoses, Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of harrowing phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to organized genocide to how once upstanding American soldiers came to abuse and torture Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib. He replaces the long-held notion of the & bad apple& with that of the & bad barrel& & the idea that the social setting and the system contaminate the individual, rather than the other way around. This is a book that dares to hold a mirror up to mankind, showing us that we might not be who we think we are. While forcing us to reexamine what we are capable of doing when caught up in the crucible of behavioral dynamics, though, Zimbardo also offers hope. We are capable of resisting evil, he argues, and can even teach ourselves to act heroically. Like Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem and Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate, 'The Lucifer Effect' is a shocking, eng

Abstract

Dit boek is ontstaan uit een paradox. Discriminerend gedrag en schending van fundamentele rechten kenmerken vaak de verhoudingen tussen sociale, etnische, nationale of culturele groepen. Volgens velen zouden die zelfs inherent zijn aan verhoudingen tussen groepen. En toch spreken hedendaagse maatschappijen zich uit voor het respecteren van rechtsnormen die zo·n gedrag verbieden. Het sociaalpsychologisch onderzoek van de auteur, aangevat in Parijs en daarna met talrijke medewerkers voortgezet aan de Universiteit van Genève, gaat over die paradox. Hij beschrijft voor de eerste keer hoe de problematische communautaire verhoudingen in zijn land van herkomst aan de oorsprong liggen van zijn onderzoek in de sociale psychologie. Hij houdt een pleidooi voor een constructivistische benadering in de sociale wetenschappen en brengt verslag uit van zijn onderzoeksresultaten. Hij beperkt zich niet tot het bestuderen van louter feitelijke toestanden. Hij analyseert vooral de houdingen tegenover de rechtsnormen in de universele-rechtenverklaringen, waarmee de opbouw van een betere en meer rechtvaardige wereld nagestreefd wordt. (bron: covertekst)
