What a difference two years make: Patterns of radicalization in a Philippine jail
Recent high-profile terrorist attacks have led to attempts by social scientists to investigate the processes behind radicalization.

The research provides one of the first quantitative assessments of prison radicalization with directly measured extremist attitudes among detained terrorism suspects. T…
The Psychology of Radicalization and Deradicalization: How Significance Quest Impacts Violent Extremism

In Studies 3 and 4, the number of means to participants' goals was experimentally manipulated. Al…
