The 21st-century political landscape has been defined by deep
ideological polarization, and as a result scientific inquiry into
the psychological mechanisms underlying this divide has taken on
increased relevance. The topic is by no means new to social
psychology. Classic literature on intergroup conflict shows how
pervasive and intractable these group conflicts can be, how readily
they can emerge from even minimal group identities, and the hedonic
rewards reaped from adopting an "us vs. them" perspective. Indeed,
this literature paints a bleak picture for the efficacy of any
interventions geared toward reducing intergroup discord. But
advances in the psychology of moral judgments and behavior, in
particular greater understanding of how moral concerns might inform
the creation and stability of political identities, offer new ways
forward in understanding partisan divides. This volume brings
together leading researchers in moral and political psychology,
offering new perspectives on the moral roots of political ideology,
and exciting new opportunities for the development of more
effective applied interventions.
