empirical contributions and normative commentaries
"This cross-disciplinary book investigates how morality translates into action by presenting original psychological research on our understanding of human rights and duties. This topical focus is especially timely in our post-9/11 world where the relative rights and duties of citizens and our government are foremost in our minds. One of the book's goals is to explore the general public's ideas (both in the United States and abroad) about rights versus duties so that legislative and policy changes can be based on solid support, not assumptions. Two strategies are used to lead readers toward a better understanding of human rights and duties. Chapters by empirical researchers present findings on citizens' commonsense understandings of rights and duties, whereas normative chapters by leading social theorists conceptualize rights and duties from many perspectives. By contrasting present-day circumstances of life in many social spheres with the world of ideas, the editors expose the debate between what human rights and duties are and what they ought to be"--Jacket.
"This book fills a vitally important gap in the scholarship of psychology and justice, and in this way, the editors think it will be particularly useful to psychology students and professors in courses on intergroup relations, social justice, psychology and law, ethnic relations and multiculturalism, cross-cultural and cultural psychology, and social psychology. This book brings together those who meet at the empirical and normative nexus over the common ground of rights and duties at the professional and scholarly level and is likely to appeal to those who study this topic"--Pref.
