Overview
Context
From the perspective of a PhD student, the project provides training on building theory-driven models to provide solutions to pressing problems in society, and on testing these models using cutting-edge methodologies.
This Testing a dynamic model of radicalisation in individual and society at University of Dundee is driven by the overarching question of ‘what are the structural dynamics and psychological processes underpinning radicalisation in a divided world dominated by online communication?’. To address this question, the project will develop and test a model seeking to explain both (micro) processes at the level of the individual and (macro) dynamics at the level of society - jointly leading to the formation of radical cells online and offline.

- The model stems from an integration of a) theorising from social psychology, where radicalisation is seen as a group process leading to group members’ support for extreme collective action, and b) computational approaches from applied data science, where radicalisation is seen as intense clustering of extreme beliefs in a society. The methods that will be used for the project include analyses of big data from online extremist communities, survey studies and online experiments.
