Klappentext

This updated third edition gathers together an international group of distinguished scholars to provide an up-to-date account of key topics and areas of research in political psychology. Focusing first on political psychology at the individual level (attitudes, values, decision-making, ideology, personality) and then moving to the collective (group identity, mass mobilization, political violence), this fully interdisciplinary volume covers models of the mass public and political elites and addresses both domestic issues and foreign policy. Now with new chapters on authoritarianism, nationalism, status hierarchies, and minority political identities, along with updated material, this is an essential reference for scholars and students interested in the intersection of the two fields.
