| Summary: | This volume contains thirty chapters that provide an up-to-date account of key topics and areas of research in political psychology. In general, the chapters apply what is known about human psychology to the study of politics. Chapters draw on theory and research on biopsychology, neuroscience, personality, psychopathology, evolutionary psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology and intergroup relations. Some chapters address the political psychology of political elites, their personality, motives, beliefs and leadership styles and their judgments, decisions and actions in domestic policy, foreign policy, international conflict and conflict resolution. Other chapters deal with the dynamics of mass political behavior, including voting, collective action, the influence of political communications, political socialization and civic education, group-based political behavior, social justice and the political incorporation of immigrants. Research discussed in the volume is fueled by a mix of age-old questions and recent world events. |
