About the Book

For more than 50 years, research in political psychology has illuminated the psychological processes underlying important political action, both by ordinary citizens and by political leaders.

And as America has become increasingly engaged in thinking about politics since the turn of the century, exciting new work is being done by political psychologists to understand the contemporary functioning of government. Explorations in Political Psychology includes some of the most important new work.
