Diskriminasi Berdasar Identitas Sosial Budaya dan Pendidikan HAM di Indonesia dalam Perspektif Psikologi Sosial

Abstract: The high rate of serious human rights abuses in Indonesia has many cases of human right abuses which happen among common people in their everyday life unnoticed. One of the examples is the cases of discrimination based on one's socio-cultural identity. The paper argues that discrimination based on one's socio-cultural identity is a form of human right violation which its mechanism involves one's social cognitive system. That is why its intervention could not rely solely on judicial intervention. An intervention which is addressed the psychological functioning of individuals which contributes to the occurrence of discrimination is also needed. It is therefore, using social psychology perspective; the  paper  aims  to  identify  the  social  cognitive  functioning  which  may  become  the  underlying mechanism of discriminative attitudes and behavior among common people in Indonesia. Later, the paper  uses  the  findings  to  discuss  its  implication  in  regard  with  the  concept  of  human  rights education.
Keywords: discrimination, social psychology, stereotype and prejudice, human right education.
