“What is collective trauma, and what are its long-term effects?” with Gilad Herschberger, Ph.D., Associate Professor, The School of Psychology, The Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya, Israel.

People of all populations understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has been an extraordinary experience that has gained intensity the longer it has dragged on. We have made major changes to our lifestyles, from wearing masks to social distancing, closing of businesses and events, and dealing with the economic impact the virus has had on society. We adjust and readjust to the ever-changing COVID numbers. Our life has been disrupted and will take time to return to normal. In his discussion, Dr. Hirschberger will define collective trauma, its long-term effects, and how we can overcome our trauma with resiliency.

Gilad Hirschberger, Ph.D., is an associate professor of social and political psychology at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, Israel. His work focuses on collective existential threats, and on how threat perceptions influence and shape political cognitions. His research distinguishes between threats of commission that are immediate and local (e.g., terrorism) and threats of omission that are universal and slow to develop (e.g., climate change; viral pandemics). Studying populations worldwide, he shows that the perception of these threats is contingent on political ideology, such that liberals and conservatives perceive certain threats while ignoring others. His book Group Survival: The Psychology of Collective Threat is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.
