The relationship between anomia and maladaptive personality traits

Abstract: Abstract.Research of anomia is topical in the period when a society endures social and economic changes.

“…This individual-level construct stems from sociological work on anomie, which differs from anomia in that it refers to a societal state of normlessness (Durkheim, 1897). If anomic societies can generate increased anomia (Levina, Perejolkina, Martinsone, Mihailova, & Kolesnikova, 2018; Meier & Bell, 1959; Merton, 1938; Seeman, 1959, 1975; H. P. Smith & Bohm, 2008; Teymoori et al, 2016; Zhao & Cao, 2010), we argue that existential threats such as LoS could affect violent extremism through increased anomia.…”

“…Moreover, 70% of YV supporters live below the median income in France and 24% say they have big financial difficulties (Algan, et al, 2019). This might be indicative of marginalized/deprived situations, which typically generate feelings of anomia (Smith & Bohm, 2008;Levina, Perejolkina, Martinsone, Mihailova, & Kolesnikova, 2018).…”

“…Anomia occurs whenever one's values conflict with the values and norms of their society (Travis, 1993;Srole, 1956;Meier & Bell, 1959, Zhao & Cao, 2010. It includes feelings of normlessness, but also of meaninglessness, powerlessness, self-estrangement and social isolation (Seeman, 1959;Smith & Bohm, 2008, Levina, Perejolkina, Martinsone, Mihailova & Kolesnikova, 2018. It can lead to individual situations of social disaffiliation (Castel, 2000) or 'alienation in the modern sense' (Travis, 1993).…”

“…On top of the direct humiliation-compensation motives driving the effects of loss of significance on violent extremism, research shows that other existential motivations such as pertaining to control, freedom, meaning motives (Greenberg et al, 2004;Jonas et al, 2014) underpin politically violent behaviour. In fact, significance/meaning is just one of five existential concerns that make up a very potent construct for understanding violent extremism: anomia (Levina et al, 2018;Meier and Bell, 1959;Merton, 1938;Seeman, 1959Seeman, , 1975Smith & Bohm, 2008;Zhao & Cao, 2010;Teymoori et al, 2016). Anomia is defined as a psychological state including feelings of meaninglessness, powerlessness, social isolation, normlessness and selfestrangement (Smith & Bohm, 2008;.…”
