| Summary, etc. |
Using Berkowitz's framework this study experimentally examined the majority-minority dynamics within the pluralistic society of India. The participants were young adults from Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian communities. Following a modified aggression machine paradigm developed by Buss the role of community-status (minority/majority), religiosity, institutionalism and internal locus of control in determining aggression was investigated. The Hindu participants constituted the majority community and Muslim, Sikh and Christian were the minority communities. The participants from minority communities showed greater aggression than those from the majority community. Also, there were significant differences in the degree of aggression among the minority communities. Institutionalism was more strongly related to aggression than individualism. Religiosity and institutionalism also contributed to the degree of aggression. The findings are discussed in view of socio-historical and psychological processes. - Reproduced. |
