Arie Kruglanski Shares Socio-Psychological Perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Arie Kruglanski, a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Psychology, recently co-authored a Psychology Today article on the history and nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

Kruglanski—an expert on human judgment and belief formation, the motivation-cognition interface, group and intergroup processes, and the psychology of human goals—and Joel Singer, a former legal advisor to the Israeli Foreign Ministry under the Rabin–Peres government, specifically offer a socio-psychological perspective on the issue. 

They conclude: "From the significance perspective, peace is the answer. All that continued violence can deliver is chagrin, ignominy, and pain."
