Nonviolence and peace psychology
Nonviolence and Peace Psychology
The measurement of nonviolence
Nonviolence provides a means for conflict resolution without the negative effects of violence or aggression. Given the potential benefits of its application, several instruments have been developed to measure nonviolent dispositions. This article reviews the measures, which were identified via computer searches of the Psychological Abstracts database. The Pacifism Scale (Elliott, 1980), the Gandhian Personality Scale (Hasan & Khan, 1983), Nonviol…

Nonviolence within cultures of peace
Active nonviolence serves as both a means to achieve cultures of peace and represents the end goal of global cultures of peace. This article examines the nature of active nonviolence and encourages psychological thought and research to develop a deeper psychological understanding of the use of nonviolent actions to achieve political ends and to prevent the overdependence on violent responses to conflict. Research delineating the personal (values,…
Values, militarism, and nonviolent predispositions
This study utilized written survey methodology to assess the relations between values, militarism, and nonviolent predispositions. Respondents (college students and high school students; aged 17-48 yrs old) completed two separate instruments during a single 45-min session. Although nonviolent predispositions are positively related to the self-transcendence value types of universalism (i.e., social justice, broadminded, a world at peace, wisdom, a…
Nonviolence and human values
Individuals such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. successfully employed nonviolent strategies to attain significant political goals. Despite the implications of their achievements, psychologists have rarely studied predispositions to nonviolent behavior empirically. The purpose of this article is to link the current literature on human values with the literature on nonviolence from a Gandhian perspective. This study investigates the relation…
Love in action
Love in Action: Writings on Nonviolent Social Change, by Thich Nhat Hanh, is a rich collection of writings completed over a 27-year period between 1966 and 1993. Taken as a whole, this book provides the reader with a mosaic of readings that is quite varied in style and specific content; yet each piece speaks directly to the themes of love and nonviolent action. Hanh carefully portrays the moral and religious grounds for nonviolent social action a…
Value Underpinnings of Antinuclear Political Activism
The purpose of this paper is to assess the relationships between selected value types and peace activist behavior in several countries. The participants in this study were college students from Idaho and California in the U.S., from London, England, and from Osaka, Japan; adults from the general population in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.; and physician‐activists from New Zealand. Each respondent completed a written questionnaire, which inclu…
Human Values and Social Issues
Values are an important and unique construct in social psychological research. In many ways they offer insight into human belief and behavior that other concepts, particularly attitudes, cannot provide. Milton Rokeach is remembered as a pioneer in the study of human belief and behavior, particularly in the study of values. In this essay we review the essential insights that Rokeach offered and the ways that those insights have been applied in the…
Inducing Change in Values, Attitudes, and Behaviors
This paper summarizes some of the major principles of belief system theory and describes the method of value self‐confrontation. An example of how value self‐confrontation can be used to modify environmental values is provided. The research on value self‐confrontation is reviewed and critically evaluated. Although there is support for belief system theory and for the efficacy of value self‐confrontation as a means of inducing long‐term change in …
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Values and Nuclear War Attitudes
This study investigated the cross-cultural differences between 336 Caucasian and 67 American Indian adolescents in a rural area of the Pacific Northwest. Participants completed the Rokeach Value Survey-Form G, the Modified World Affairs Questionnaire, selected items from a nuclear freeze questionnaire, the Nuclear Attitudes Questionnaire, and selected demographic items. American Indians placed a higher priority on the values of family security, s…
Indirect Assessment of Concern about Nuclear War
Of 127 lower division college students who expressed concern about their future indirectly using incomplete sentences 18% mentioned nuclear war directly. Statistically significant differences were noted between this study and a similar study completed in the early 1960s. Concern about nuclear war among American college students has increased over the past 20 years
The structure of attitudes to doomsday issues
The issues of overpopulation, pollution, and the prospect of nuclear war have all been discussed as environmental crises with doomsday ramifications. Braithwaite and Law (1977) developed a three-faceted 24-item doomsday issues questionnaire. The present study is a replication of this earlier study and is designed to investigate the underlying structure of the doomsday belief statements along the three theoretical facets. A total of 168 introducti…
