I would like to teach a course called "Guerrilla Psychology." My interest arose as I became fascinated with Karl Rove's tactics and how effective they were. I want to teach a course on how psychological principles can be used to manipulate opinion and behavior basically, void of ethics. So, far, I can identify areas such as politics and marketing (closely related, I would guess), as well as miltary operations and education. (There is a related query from someone else on another list, but the focus is not on the down and dirty uses that I am interested in.)
Do any of you know of:
a) resources for the above topics (good books, movies, etc.)
b) other areas where psychological principles are typically used in this fashion?
Thanks,

Hi RJ,
My colleague Mike Hulsizer and I have three new curriculum guides (including annotated bibliographies, syllabi, links, video suggestions, etc.) coming out on the Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology (OTRP) Web site sometime soon (http://www.teachpsych.org). The three documents are:
1) Psychology Of Peace and Mass Violence -- War, Ethnopolitical Conflict, and Terrorism: Informational Resources - This 31-page document contains an annotated bibliography of materials on war, ethnopolitical conflict, terrorism, and peace issues written from a psychosocial perspective. The bibliography includes major journal articles, book chapters, books, and Internet resources on these issues organized by topic. In addition, there is an annotated list of relevant journals.
2) Psychology Of Peace and Mass Violence -- Genocide, Torture, and Human Rights: Informational Resources - This 29-page document contains two annotated bibliographies of materials on genocide, torture, and human rights issues written from a psychosocial perspective. The first bibliography includes major journal articles, book chapters, books, and Internet resources on these issues organized by topic. The second bibliography is comprised of reference materials for background information and further study. In addition, there is an annotated list of relevant journals.
3) Psychology Of Peace and Mass Violence: Instructional Resources - This 41-page document consists of resource materials for developing whole courses and lectures on mass violence and peace. For incorporating specific topics into existing courses, lecture suggestions and selected references are given. For developing and revising whole courses, sample syllabi ( 1) Altruism and Aggression, 2) Genocide: A Psychosocial Perspective, 3) The Holocaust, 4) Psychology of Peace and Conflict, and 5) Psychosocial Perspectives on Terrorism.) are provided. In addition, lists of relevant videotapes, Internet sites/listservs, and professional organizations are included.
Let me know if you would like a pre-publication copy of any of these and I'll forward it to you.
Best wishes and Happy Holidays to all Tipsters!
Linda
