Violent extremism—be it political or religious—is a persistent global problem, which has escalated considerably in the US in the last decade. Why do some people resort to violence for their cause?
, refers to the tendency to experience fear, anxiety and sentimentality. Low emotionality can make it harder to empathize with the suffering of others. It may also mean you are less likely to worry about the consequences of your actions.
Individuals low on these two traits may therefore be more inclined to endorse violence for their cause. They are likely to have a general tendency towards antisocial behavior. They are also less fearful and anxious about the risks of their behavior.To follow up, we looked closer at the humility aspect of the honesty-humility trait. We thought this might explain why members of structurally advantaged groups, in particular, perceive that their group is unjustly disadvantaged.
Modesty refers to a person's belief about themselves in relation to others. Those high in modesty see themselves as no better than others, whereas those low in modesty feel superior and entitled to privileges. In two studies, we gathered survey responses from structurally advantaged and disadvantaged groups. We looked at the association between modesty and feelings of"group-based relative deprivation". We first gathered survey responses from 171 white Americans and 163 black Americans, asking them the extent to which they felt unjustly disadvantaged as a white or black American.
This has implications for understanding why some people endorse the rhetoric of, for example, the alternative right and involuntary celibate movements. Due to an immodest and hence entitled disposition more generally, people endorse the rhetoric that their group is not getting what they deserve.
