How to Read a Journal Article in Social Psychology.
Political psychology is a dynamic subfield at the intersection of psychology and political science. The specific relationship between politics and social psychology has been steadily evolving in recent years, making it a compelling and exciting area of study. The chapters in this reader were written by leading scholars in the areas of political science and social psychology. The interdisciplinary fusion reflects the vast range of topics and issues at the forefront of each field. Both contemporary and classic articles are compiled, demonstrating the ever-changing nature of political psychology and offering comprehensive coverage of social psychological research into the processes that have governed local and global affairs in the postmodern world. Topics covered include authoritarianism, political leadership, public opinion, decision-making, prejudice, intergroup relations, terrorism and revolution.
The volume also contains a historical introduction which reviews the symbiotic relationship of political science and psychology. Section introductions, discussion questions, suggestions for further reading and comprehensive indexes make this an ideal, accessible text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in courses on political science and social psychology.

This volume focuses on two questions: Why do people from one social group oppress and discriminate against people from other groups? And why is this oppression so difficult to eliminate? The answers to these questions are formed using the conceptual framework of social dominance theory. Social dominance theory argues that the major forms of intergroup conflict, such as racism, classism and patriarchy, are all basically derived from the basic human predisposition to form and maintain hierarchial and group-based systems of social organization. In essence, social dominance theory presumes that, beneath major and sometimes profound differences between different human societies there is also a basic grammar of social power shared by all societies in common.
