A radicalization is a worldwide event that impacts multiple nations and is
present in various historical contexts. In the study of radicalization of persons who
work autonomously from more radicalized communities, psychologists may support it.
As there is no unique identity, these single actors or lone wolves are more difficult to
spot because they behave as self-determined people. The current chapter's emphasis is
on the mechanisms and methods of radicalization in adults, including children and
women’s radicalization. In the study of radicalization, there is little probability of direct
contact with the target community (terrorists, lone wolves, and radical groups) that is
much of the time distant, dangerous, and shielded from media attention. In this
instance, the application of ethnographic studies also through Internet outlets has
yielded adequate results. Focus is also given to the growth of radicalized ideology and
how radicalization can be viewed in terms of the lone wolf terrorist’s cognitive and
social progress. The writers often discuss how a radicalized leader can exploit the
insecurity of individual citizens to radicalize them. Besides, as a logical fallacy and a
symptom of dualistic thinking, the writers researched radicalized thought. Therefore, in
their propensity to radicalize, a combination of perceptual, mental, and psychological
stimuli is analyzed.
