Abstract

In this chapter, we provide a synthesis of this volume’s contributions to understanding the psychology of resistance in violent, repressive contexts. We argue that these contributions challenge the assumptions of social psychological research on resistance conducted in Western democratic nations. Taken together, the chapters in this volume offer a richer understanding of the dynamics and relational aspects of resistance in contexts of violence and repression, and a more thorough understanding of the continuous intragroup and intergroup negotiation of resistance strategies in changing contexts. They contextualize the psychology of resistance further by considering the conditions necessary for resistance to arise or be suppressed, as well as explaining support for different resistance tactics. We also discuss the limitations of this volume and their connections to disciplinary and theoretical gaps in social psychology. We outline future directions for research on the psychology of resistance in violent and repressive contexts and beyond.
