| Summary: | This volume presents political psychology through reviews of selected topics central to this emerging field. Writing from a social constructionist point of view, the authors describe a unique community whose history illustrates basic issues in political psychology. This book presents a new perspective on the history of the field in a chapter by the Dutch writer, van Ginnekin. It also offers new chapters on political cognition, conflict, public opinion, nuclear war, and social change - each striking a balance between historical studies and modern research. The Psychology of Politics provides a diverse, lively, and informative introduction to the developing field of political psychology. |
