On-line Psychology Journal Examines Cause and Effects of
September 11 Terrorist Attacks
What is terrorism? Does moral conviction have a dark side? What are the
consequences of the terrorist attacks for beliefs about civil liberties, bias
against others, attitudes about immigration, and other aspects of intergroup
conflict?
These are some of the questions discussed in "Terrorism and Its
Consequences," a special feature in ASAP (Analyses of Social Issues and Public
Policy). ASAP is an on-line journal published by Blackwell for the Society for
the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI), an affiliate of the American
Psychological Association.
The feature is now posted on ASAPís web site. The web site is
http://www.asap-spssi.org/ . The access
password is spssi911 and the special feature is Volume 2, Issue 1, 2002.
The feature consists of an Introduction and 15 articles on subjects related
to the September 11 attacks, their antecedents, and aftermath. The articles were
written by 19 social scientists from the United States, Canada, Australia, and
Israel.
According to Rhoda Unger, editor of ASAP and a resident scholar at the
Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, the feature was
conceived as a means of providing some understanding of the September 11 events
- to offer some of the ideas and research of psychologists and related social
scientists who are experts in issues related to terrorism and its consequences.
The project was initiated a few days after the attacks, and papers were
solicited, reviewed and edited in what Unger calls blazing speed compared to the
usual pace of academic publishing.
