TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Dying for your group or for your faith? On the power of belief JO - Behavioral and brain sciences A1 - Boudry, Maarten SP - e195 EP - e195 VL - 41 IS - N2 - Whitehouse's theory offers one plausible pathway toward extreme self-sacrifice, but it fails to explain sacrificial acts that are inspired by heartfelt ideological beliefs, including jihadi terrorism and mass suicide in cults. If he wants to offer a "single overarching theory" of self-sacrifice, he will need to take seriously the power of belief.
