Murders
Continued from Page 1A
by historians and journalists and
lack a psychological perspective,
adding that humans practicing mass
murder always commit these atroc
ities in the name of “moral impera
tives” as psychological justification.
“The state allows moral imper
atives to be an excuse — people re
alize that they can use moral im
peratives as an excuse for mass
murder,” Zajonc said. “To the per
petrators, massacres are accepted
and justified.”
To emphasize his point, Zajonc
listed four reasons why sociobiol
ogy does not explain massacres:
The parallels that sociobiology
draws are superficial, human atroc
ities go beyond those of animals,
some massacres contradict the
principle of kin selection and re
productive success, and no animal
kills on principle — humans justi
fy massacres by principle.
More than 160 million people
were lost this century due to murder.
Zajonc used the figure as an example
why human violence does not bear a
resemblance to animal aggression.
“Animals do not do acts of vio
lence like this,” he said. “There is no
animal species known to have com
mitted atrocities like we have. These
[massacres] have taken place in all
nations and societies.”
Zajonc statistically analyzed the
numbers of civilians killed by vari
ous nations’ leaders and also com
pared different cultural groups in an
attempt to identify which are the
most likely to perpetrate massacres.
He then posed this question to psy
chologists; “Is there a personality
type or disposition that is most like
ly to perpetuate mass murder?”
Zajonc ended his lecture with an
appeal to psychologists to try to de
termine what can be done to prevent
mass murder.
Lisa Nunally, a senior psychol
ogy major who attended the pro
gram, said, “He put too much em
phasis on the parallel between
animal and man, when we should
be worried about the origin of
where this behavior comes from
culturally.”
Gina Dunford, a sophomore psy
chology major who also attended
the program, said, “The whole thing
was really interesting; it’s just real
ly scary ... the fact that we do such
brutal things.”
