The Social Psychology of Tolerance (European Monographs in Social Psychology)

The Social Psychology of Tolerance (European Monographs in Social Psychology) is a scholarly examination of one of the most pressing issues in modern societies—tolerance. This academic volume explores how individuals and groups develop tolerant or intolerant attitudes toward diversity, difference, and social change. Drawing from empirical research and theoretical frameworks in social psychology, the book provides a deep understanding of the psychological foundations of acceptance, prejudice, and intergroup relations.

Tolerance is not simply passive acceptance; it involves complex cognitive, emotional, and moral processes. This book investigates how beliefs, values, identity, and social norms shape attitudes toward ethnic, religious, political, and cultural diversity. It examines how factors such as social identity, perceived threat, moral reasoning, and group dynamics influence whether people respond to difference with openness or resistance.
