What is the most political form of behavior: attitudes in which individuals find themselves, or internal psychological makeup --- beliefs, values, etc. - of these individuals? Perhaps this is the leading section of the psychological study of politics today.
Political Psychology: Attitudes, Individuals and Situations, second edition, provides a brief, readable and understandable introduction to the subject of political psychology by studying this same question. Using this attitude - a framework of behavior - almost equivalent to social and cognitive psychology concerns - this book focuses on key explanatory mechanisms such as behavior, obedience, personality, collective thinking, perception, influence, emotion, and neuroscience to explore topics ranging from voting to behavior and racism to terrorism and relationships International.
The new edition includes a new chapter on the psychology of information and communication. Houghton has also updated the text to analyze recent political events such as the 2012 elections, and to include emerging research in neuroscience, behavioral economics, and more.
Hutton's clear and challenging examples challenge students directly to put them in real and intellectual situations that involve severe moral and political dilemmas. This readable text will provide students with the conceptual basis they need to understand the rapidly changing field of political psychology..
