Social psychology and politics are intricately related, and
understanding how humans manage power and govern themselves is one
of the key issues in psychology. This volume surveys the latest
theoretical and empirical work on the social psychology of
politics, featuring cutting-edge research from a stellar group of
international researchers. It is organized into four main sections
that deal with political attitudes and values; political
communication and perceptions; social cognitive processes in
political decisions; and the politics of intergroup behavior and
social identity. The contributions address such exciting questions
as how do political attitudes and values develop and change? What
role do emotions and moral values play in political behavior? How
do political messages and the media influence political
perceptions? What are the psychological requirements of effective
democratic decision making, and why do democracies sometimes fail?
How can intergroup harmony be developed, and what is the role of
social identity in political processes? As such, this volume
integrates the role of cognitive, affective, social and cultural
influences on political perception and behavior, offering an
overview of the psychological mechanisms underlying political
processes. It provides essential reading for teachers, students,
researchers and practitioners in areas related to power, social
influence and political behavior.
