Lecture by Dr. John Jost (Professor, New York University)(2010/12/20)
Co-sponsored the meeting by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research.
Lecturer: Dr. John Jost (Professor, New York University)
Title: Left & Right: The Psychological Basis of a Political Distinction
Venue: Kokoro Research Center, Kyoto University
Abstract：
Professor Jost will summarize recent theoretical and empirical advances concerning the scientific understanding of the relationship between certain psychological variables and left-right political orientation. More specifically, he will summarize converging lines of research that link basic social, personality, cognitive, motivational, and even neurophysiological processes to ideological differences between the left and the right. He will also discuss situational factors that are capable of inducing “liberal” and “conservative” shifts in political attitudes. These findings and many others suggest that, contrary to received wisdom in the social and behavioral sciences over the past several decades, political ideology is indeed a meaningful force in people’s lives and that it may be rooted in fundamental psychological antinomies, including general preferences for stability vs. change, order vs. complexity, certainty vs. ambiguity, familiarity vs. novelty, conformity vs. creativity, and loyalty vs. rebellion. Implications for psychology and society will be discussed.

Speaker: Dr. Nyla Branscombe (Professor of Psychology, University of Kansas) Lecture Title: Moral Rights and Obligations: Historical Victimization Reminders in Victims and Observers |
Abstract:
I will consider how historical victimization is used by victimized groups in the present to legitimize their current harm doing; that is, history is seen by victim groups as providing them with moral rights. Among observers, however, historical victimization is perceived as entailing moral obligations to not do harm. Consequences for victim judgments when observers perceive those victims as violating expectations and doing harm or failing to help others are addressed.
