Increasing self-esteem and empathy to prevent violent radicalization: a longitudinal quantitative evaluation of a resilience training focused on adolescents with a dual identity.
Allard R. Feddes, Liesbeth Mann and Bertjan Doosje, January 2015
Summary
Quantitative results are reported of a longitudinal evaluation of a resilience training as a possible method to prevent violent radicalization (Diamant; SIPI, 2010). A total of 46 male and female Muslim adolescents and young adults with a migrant background participated. Results show that the training significantly increased participants’ reports of agency and a marginal increase was found in reported self-esteem, empathy and perspective taking but also narcissism.
