Psychology 7897, Topical Seminar in Social Psychology: Political Psychology -- Autumn 2020
This advanced seminar will focus on political psychology and, in particular, how it intersects with social psychological theories and findings. We first will consider the history of political psychology as a discipline and then turn to the determinants and correlates of political ideology. In what ways, do liberals and conservatives differ from one another? We also will examine such issues as social identities and partisanship, media effects, voting behavior, social networks, and fake news. The goal is to arrive at an understanding of the foundations, correlates, and consequences of political ideology, with the ultimate aim of inspiring new research directions.
