Edited by Ethan C. Busby, Christopher F. Karpowitz, Department of Political Science, Brigham Young University and Cara J. Wong, Department of Political Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA<i>‘The </i>Handbook of Innovations in Political Psychology<i> not only provides an excellent overview of the current state of the highly diverse interdisciplinary field of political psychology, it also presents many innovative ideas for improvement. A must-read for both seasoned and emerging scholars of this exciting field!’</i>
- Matthijs Rooduijn, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands,
<i>‘Exploring variations in the formation and consequences of political identities across contexts and over-time, this timely volume addresses challenges such as polarization, racial strife, and political violence. Its focus on research frontiers offers valuable theoretical and methodological toolkits to understand the ills of contemporary societies for students and scholars alike (including those who do consider themselves “political psychologists”).’</i>
The chapters take a range of approaches. Some feature detailed case studies, advancing the understanding of key political psychology concepts and highlighting emerging intersections with other innovative fields. Others outline cutting-edge developments in theory and methods – across research areas including social psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and computational social science – and discuss how those contribute to political psychology. By considering these new perspectives and possibilities, the Handbook of Innovations in Political Psychology presents a future of more inclusive, rigorous, and impactful political psychology research.
Offering a retrospective and prospective investigation into the landscape of political psychology, this Handbook is an invaluable resource for students and researchers in political theory and science, public policy, and social psychology. Political practitioners such as government officials, political operatives, and pollsters will also find this informative.
