About the Authors
  • In the last two decades, the study of social stereotypes and prejudice has become one of the central interests in social psychology in particular. One reflection of this growing interest is the focus on shared stereotypes and prejudices. The primary reason for this development is the recognition that stereotypes and prejudice play a determinative role in shaping intergroup relations. In situations of conflict, they are simultaneously outcomes of the accumulated animosity between the involved groups and also feed on the continuation of the conflict by furnishing the cognitive-affective basis for the experienced mistrust by the parties. In spite of this recognition, no systematic analysis of the stereotypes and prejudice was carried out in real situations. This book tries to rectify this by applying a general and universal conceptual framework to the study of the acquisition and development of stereotypes and prejudice in a society involved in an intractable conflict.

    • Provides systematic, coherent, and comprehensive analysis of stereotypes and prejudices and their formation
    • Presents original and comprehensive research project of 19 original studies that unveil the acquisition and development of words, concepts, images, attitudes emotions and behavioural intentions from very early age of 2 years through adolescence and young adulthood

    Review of the hardback: 'All educators, all politicians - in fact, everyone - should read this book.' Haaretz

    Review of the hardback: 'This book is the work of a lifetime. It clarifies prejudice. It can advance the peace process in the Middle East. It is of excellent scientific quality. It is socially highly relevant. It is in the heart of political psychology. It significantly contributes to what Alexander George wanted to say.' Alexander George Book Award Committee

    Review of the hardback: '… this impressive book contains several volumes in one. … The depth and nuance of the analysis makes it valuable to all with an interest in Israeli-Jewish-Arab relations.' Journal of Peace Research
