Socio-psychological barriers to peace making: An empirical examination within the Israeli Jewish Society (2011, background): “The selection of values is based on the widely shared view that they constitute the most central feature of a culture (Hofstede, 1980; Inglehart, 1997; Schwartz, 2007; Weber, 1958).”
Socio–Psychological Barriers to Peace Making: The Case of the Israeli Jewish Society (2010, background): “High levels of fear usually lead to cognitive freezing and closed-mindedness (Halperin, Bar-Tal, Nets-Zehngut, & Almog, 2008; Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006; Rokeach, 1960).”
Anxiety, Immigration, and the Search for Information (2014, background): “Anxiety motivates individuals to avoid danger and create a safer environment in order to seek protection from threatening events and groups (Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006; Nabi, 1999; Roseman & Evdokas, 2004).”
Emotions and Emotion Regulation in Intractable Conflict: Studying Emotional Processes Within a Unique Context (2015, background): “Finally, even fear, a highly automatic and physically salient emotion, can transform into a sentiment in the context of intractable conflicts, as the perception of threat in the environment is ongoing (Halperin, Sharvit, et al., 2011; Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006).”
Sociopsychological Foundations of Intractable Conflicts (2007, background): “Of special note is that fear can be collectively experienced, as for example political persecutions, terror attacks, or wars (e.g., Corradi, Fagen, & Garreton, 1992; Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006; Lake & Rothchild, 1998; Petersen, 2002).”
Hope in the Middle East (2014, background): “…an ongoing highly negative situation (such as an intractable conflict) might induce despair rather than hope (Sallfors, Fasth, & Hallberg, 2002; Stotland, 1969), which, when translated into behavior, can become apathy, indifference, and unwillingness to create change (Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006).”
Fear, hope, anger, and guilt in climate activism (2017, background): “In the social movements literature, fear is an emotion quite often associated with inhibited collective action (e.g. Scott, 1990) but in the case of action against climate change, fear might instead be a reason to take action (see Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006).”
Collective Emotions in Conflict Situations: Societal Implications (2007, background): “Of special importance for us is the assumption that just as individuals may be characterized by a dominant emotion, societies, too, may develop a collective emotional orientation (Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006).”
Emotions in Conflict: Correlates of Fear and Hope in the Israeli-Jewish Society (2008, unknown): “The scales were constructed and validated in a large-scale study also reported in Jarymowicz and Bar-Tal (2006).”
Fear and anger as predictors of motivation for intergroup aggression: Evidence from Serbia and Republika Srpska (2010, background): “…of our research was to build on the ideas and findings of others that pointed towards this possible role of fear in intergroup aggression (e.g., Jarymowicz & Bar-Tal, 2006; Inkso & Schopler, 1998; Skitka et al., 2004) by investigating the role of fear and anger in the context of intergroup…”
