A Natural Capacity to Cooperate
What happens when children experience frustration—and how do they treat others when they’re frustrated? Michael Nagler shares insightful research by Joel R. Davitz on school kids and cooperation. That research appears in “The Effects of Previous Training on Postfrustration Behavior,” Journal of Abnormal Social Psychology 47 (1952): 309–15.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
