Pschology of Non-violence and Aggression (Paperback)

The concepts of non-violence and aggression are often twinned together to convey the impression that one is counterpart to the other. Kool, however, draws on recent research to illustrate that whilst the control of violence is a reaction to aggression, non-violence is, by contrast, an active behaviour. The book explores a wide survey of theories and examples, spanning ideas in cognition, motivation and behaviour that will provide students of peace and social psychology with an engaging entry point to the subject.
