OPEN CALL Special issue - International Review of Social Psychology (http://www.adrips.org/rips/?lang=en ) Title: Economic crisis, socio-cognitive elaborations and collective reactions: Insights from Social Psychology Guest editors : Stamos Papastamou, Pascal Marchand, Silvia Mari & Joaquim Pires Valentim The economic crisis is a “holistic” social event with multiple causes and consequences at different levels of social life that influence the cognitive, emotional and ideological functioning of individuals and groups. In addition, the economic crisis produces readjustments to the identity self-determinations as well as changes to the intergroup relations within societies and between nations. These are reflected at the level of stereotypes and prejudice. Moreover, given that the reality that produces the economic crisis challenges much of the constants of individual and social life, it is a prototypical situation of uncertainty and of production of negative emotions, which tests the relationship between citizens and power. Given the multiple questions concerning the reactions of individual and social subjects to situations of economic crisis, we consider important to unveil the answers that social psychological theory and research can offer. Thus, we propose a special issue that will host original empirical research and theoretical papers around issues such as below: • social representations, attitudes, attributions, causes and justifications of the economic crisis • emotional and affective reactions to the crisis • social comparison dynamics and relative deprivation in economic crisis • stereotypes and intergroup relations at national and international level • political participation and collective action • ideological processes of justification and non-justification of the social system during the economic crisis • strategies of conflict management and power enforcement • reactions to situations of individual and social uncertainty and vulnerability during crisis • communication management of the crisis, the role and influence of the media Interested colleagues should contact Stamos Papastamou (email:spspspsp3@gmail.com) Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the editorial guidelines of IRSP (http://www.adrips.org/rips/?page_id=250&lang=en).
