Violence and aggression is one central topic of Peace Psychology. The aim of this conference is to highlight special forms of violence and aggression like war, gang violence, hooliganism, terrorism or ethnic violence, which are rooted in group-processes. Aggression between individuals is a form of group-based violence if this behaviour is based on and motivated by the opponents? membership in different groups. With this topic we will intensify the discussion about group-dynamics underlying aggression and violence.
