that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensitionally

TEXT A

ON SOCIETY

Low self-esteem pops up regularly in academic reports as an explaination for all sorts of violence,from hate crimes and street crimes to terrorism. But despite the popularity of the explanation, not much evidence backs it up. In a recent issue of Psychological Review, three researchers examine this literature aat length and conclude that a much stronger link connects high self-esteem to violence. "It is difficult to maintain belief in the low self-esteem view after seeing that the more violent groups are generally the ones with higher self-esteem," write Roy Barmeister of Case Western Reserve University and Laura Smart and Joseph Boden of the University of Virginia.

As for prison programs intended to make violent convicts feel better about themselves,"perhaps it would be better to try instilling modesty and humility," the researchers write.
