His research interests include the psychology of group identification, group dynamics and intergroup conflict, and the psychological foundations of ethnic conflict and genocide.

The Logic and Prevention of Mass Political Murder (2006), Friction: How Conflict Radicalizes Them and Us (2011), and The Marvel of Martyrdom: The Power of Self-Sacrifice in a Selfish World (2018). In this episode, we focus on political radicalization mechanisms. We talk about the three levels of political radicalization (individual, group, mass), and some of the main mechanisms that go associated with them, with particular focus on social disconnection, grievance (individual and group), and slippery slope processes. We also discuss how people react to threats and what they perceive to be social and political instability. We also cover essentialist thinking and dehumanization, and the hard-to-understand cases of self-sacrifice and lone-wolf terrorism. Toward the end, we also have time to discuss the mismatch between ideology and action, and some solutions to counter (and mostly to prevent) political radicalization. -- Follow Dr. McCauley’s work: Faculty page: https://bit.ly/2PSewte Researchgate profile: https://bit.ly/2VtHrtT Books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2PVTklX START: https://bit.ly/2Cy0eJD  Relevant books/articles: Why Not Kill Them All?: The Logic and Prevention of Mass Political Murder: https://amzn.to/2VPVHMJ Friction: How Conflict Radicalizes Them and Us: https://amzn.to/2Va1Q1O The Marvel of Martyrdom: The Power of Self-Sacrifice in a Selfish World: https://amzn.to/302z6Ml -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, AND HERBERT GINTIS!
