Blame and political attitudesthe psychology of America's culture war /[electronic resource] :by Gail Sahar. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xi, 182 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1 :Blame: A Social-Psychological Perspective Chapter 2: Economic Issues -- Chapter 3. Issues of Sexuality -- Chapter 4. Racial Issues -- Chapter 5. Issues of Violence -- Chapter 6. Blame in the Age of Donald Trump -- Chapter 7. Blame, Ideology, and Reason for Hope.

"A reader-friendly, well-researched and insightful analysis of an array of social attitudes and behaviors pertaining to abortion, political ideology, poverty, Donald Trump, and more. Guided by established psychological theory, these are embraced within a unifying framework centered around the concepts of responsibility and blame. A valuable contribution to the understanding of fundamental social issues." -Bernard Weiner, Distinguished Research Professor, University of California, Los Angeles Questions about the causes of events, from terrorist attacks to mass shootings to economic and public health crises dominate conversations across the US. Recent research in social psychology outlines the process we use to identify the causes of such events, reveals how we determine who is responsible or to blame, and documents the far-reaching consequences of these determinations for our emotions, our actions, and our attitudes. Current approaches to political opinions posit a direct path from a person's worldview (liberal or conservative) to their attitudes toward specific political issues like abortion and welfare. This book argues that blame is the missing link between the two. Gail Sahar demonstrates that the current emphasis on value differences, whether between conservatives and liberals in the U.S. or between religious and secular countries on a global level, ignores commonalities in the way people think about issues. She proposes that focusing on perceived causes of social problems is a much more promising avenue for dialog than trying to reconcile fundamental belief systems. Informed by the latest psychological science, this new take on how to change attitudes has implications for anyone seeking to influence the viewpoints of others, from politicians and activists to ordinary people talking about current events at a dinner party. Gail Sahar is Jane Oxford Keiter Professor of Psychology, Wheaton College, Massachusetts USA. Professor Sahar has been researching the effects of causal perceptions on political attitudes for over 30 years. Her research focuses on the links between political ideology, perceptions of the causes of social problems, blame, emotions, and attitudes toward controversial social issues, such as poverty, abortion, and terrorism.
