“…These people believe in the core values of the system that promises individual mobility and construct conflicts in terms of culture (Chryssochoou, 2018). Perhaps, these are the people who might feel betrayed in the future and are more prone to authoritarian solutions (Chryssochoou, in press).…”

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.

“…Each of these traditions assumes intrinsic human characteristics and content-specific dispositions and issues. In this sense, and taking into account how the worldview perspective is linked to and mediated by the adoption of ideological attitude systems (Federico et al, 2009;Walsh, 2000), perspectives on social order (Chryssochoou, 2018;Papastamou et al, 2022), neoliberalism (Bettache & Chiu, 2019;Girerd et al, 2020), perspectives on human nature (Klubertanz, 1953;Wrightsman & Wuescher, 1974) and competitive world (Duckitt et al, 2002;Perry et al, 2013), are tested as organizing principles of ethical reasoning.…”

Focusing on the ideological and worldview premises of moral reasoning, our study (N = 313) has as a starting point the well-known relationship between morality and distributive justice norms. We examined the serially mediating role of progressiveness on morality, moral absolutism, and consistency norm on the relationship between ideological/worldview perspectives and distributional criteria. Three groups of respondents were formed based on participants’ ideological and worldview perceptions and then serial mediation analysis was conducted. The present findings suggest that morality is predicted by ideology and worldview and predicts attitudes toward the norms of equity and welfare chauvinism, through moral absolutism and interpretations of consistency norm, thus confirming our hypothesis. Moderate Passive Individualists emerged as the group who adopts the most progressive and inclusive attitude towards moral evaluations and practices, while Demobilized Collectivists and Neoliberals maintain a more conservative attitude towards issues that are subjected to moral framing. Our findings shed light on the crucial role of consistency norm, which has not received enough attention until now.

“…They aim to understand how members of a national majority become willing to actively challenge political authority by showing solidarity with the refugee minority. Chryssochoou (2018), in a study with Greek participants, showed that in times of crisis and instability of the social order, people who believe in the core values of the system and who are frustrated by its disintegration support more extreme right-wing beliefs and violent practices than both those who challenge the system and those who are supporting it. Finally, Gardikiotis (2017) focuses on people's perceptions and explanations of majority and minority influence, and on the socio-cognitive processes that underlie them.…”

The Golden Apple of Discord is probably the tale in Greek mythology that best illustrates how conflict is undesirable and leads to upheaval. The story begins with a divine banquet that Zeus organized to celebrate the marriage of Peleus and Thetis (e.g., Graf, 1996). A banquet is a pleasant event and Zeus decided to avoid trouble by not inviting Eris, the goddess of discord. But, as often happens, exclusion leads to frustration and aggression: Eris crashed the party and threw in the middle of the invitees a golden apple with the inscription καλλίστῃ (kallistēi, 'for the fairest one'). Note that the use of the superlative adjective made it clear that only one was entitled to receive the apple, and three goddesses started disputing such privilege, namely Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Soon it was clear that no negotiation was possible, that there should be only one winner, and the goddesses resorted to require the judgment of a mortal: Paris the Trojan. Upon bestowing the coveted award to Aphrodite, Paris received both the gratefulness of the goddess of love-under the form of the most beautiful woman on Earth, Helen-and the hatred of the other two, especially Hera, as well as that of all the Greeks, who waged war to Troy at once. An apparently mundane conflict led to bloodbath and destruction in the most famous war of ancient times. Gabriel Mugny, Conflict and Social Influence Gabriel Mugny, throughout his long and prolific career, has embraced quite a different view of conflict, and worked relentlessly to uncover the social-psychological mechanisms that lead conflict not only to negative outcomes, but also to positive and constructive consequences.
