Social:Inherent bad faith model
From HandWiki
Short description: Theory in political psychology
The inherent bad faith model of information processing is a theory in political psychology that was first put forth by Ole Holsti to explain the relationship between John Foster Dulles's beliefs and model of information processing.[1]
It is the most widely studied model of one's opponent.[2] A state is presumed to be implacably hostile, and contra-indicators of that are ignored but are dismissed as propaganda ploys or signs of weakness. Examples are Dulles's position on the Soviet Union and Israel's initial position on the Palestinian Liberation Organization.[2]
