Referring to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, can one self-actualise through committing acts of terrorism? The individual may not understand the concept of self-actualisation, nevertheless, all humans strive to reach their full potential however low this level of achievement is and regardless of whether they do or not. For instance, if an individual feels that they need to "make a difference" to self-actualise then this could be accomplished by volunteering with a charity or blowing themselves up...

A widow is a person who lost a beloved one during a terrorism attack.

Surely there must be loads of detailed studies that cover this matter. What do Muslim terrorists all have in common? Can we predict whether certain individuals are more likely to become terrorists based on these profiles, and hence intervene with some sort of treatment?  

Is anyone looking into the societal/collective responses to the recent terrorist attacks in France, Danemark, Tunisia and Yemen ?

Hello, my name is Lada and now I am writting master degree work on Police Academy in Prague, theme Psychological help and support in the case of terrorist incidents. I will be really grateful for any materials about this problematic. For now I am not sure if exist any effective psychological support for victim of terrorism on multiple level. Thank you all!

I am looking for articles or books on the psychology of terrorists and the way terror networks work. Thanks for your help ! 

Hi , have a good day

I'm looking for someone who interested in working togher on a paper.

I m intrested in ecological crime and its financial threat , and how that could affect on other crimes like terrorism , conflicts and organized crime.

My data is measured on Likert-scales.

Criterion = fear of terrorism. Likert = 1-6

Predictor = anxiety. Likert = 1-4

Predictor = Social problem solving. Likert = 1-5

Predictor = Media exposure = Likert = 1-5

At the end of each questionnaire, the scores are added up to produce one overall score.

Is this continuous data or ordinal data? and why?

Is it appropriate to do a multiple regression?

So I have 4 questionnaires which are all answered like "4= most like me, 1= least like me". They're all Likert-scales. But each questionnaire is given an overall score.

Criterion variable = the fear of terrorism

predictor = anxiety

predictor = media exposure

predictor = social problem-solving

so each of these variables will end up with a score at the end such as 50/100 for example. What kind of data is this?

Also, would a multiple regression be right for this?

There are many types of symbolic judgements. For example, when an Israeli pilot flattens the home of a Palestinian family (even if they are forewarned), it is natural for them to experience shock at having lost their home, even if it is made of sticks and stones. In a like manner, when I destroy the beginning construction of a wasp nest in my backyard, it is very natural for the builder, the Queen, to be in a state of ‘disbelief’ after returning to the destruction, as she rapidly makes associations as to what may have happened. Once the Queen decides that I was the perpetrator, she will lock onto me (and not my neighbor) to deliver her stings with no regrets (Miller, Sheehan et al. 2019). That animals (such as monkeys) cannot make associations to judge events ‘symbolically’ (e.g., see van Kerkoerle, Vanduffel et al. 2024) is nonsense. Humans continue to convince themselves that they are a superior species vis-à-vis symbolic cognition (e.g., Harari 2015), while their planet collapses beneath their feet (Hansen et al. 1981).
