	Political psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political psychology is an interdisciplinary academic field dedicated to the relationship between psychology and political science, with a focus on the role of human thought, emotion, and behavior in politics.
		While the grammar of "political psychology" tends to stress psychology as the central field, the discipline could also be accurately labeled "the psychology of politics," so as to more evenly recognize the interdisciplinary nature of the field.
		Also not fully conveyed by the label is the wide scope of the disciplines from which political psychology draws, including anthropology, cognitive and personality psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and other more distant fields such as economics, philosophy, and the arts.

	Political philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three central concerns of political philosophy have been the political economy by which property rights are defined and access to capital is regulated, the demands of justice in distribution and punishment, and the rules of truth and evidence that determine judgments in the law.
		Roman political philosophy was influenced by the Stoics, and the Roman statesman Cicero wrote on political philosophy.
		Political and economic relations were drastically changed by these views as the guild was subordinated to free trade, and Roman Catholic dominance of theology was increasingly challenged by Protestant churches subordinate to each nation-state and which preached in the "vulgar" or native language of each region.

		Political psychology is often used to facilitate workplace mobbing.
		Victims of political psychiatry are usually people who have filed grievances or complaints against employers or officials, or are union organizers, people who have publicly criticized officials, members of minority religions, and whistle-blowers.
		Despite having a current state license to practice psychology, serving as head of a university's counseling center at the time, and holding offices in the American Psychological Association, this psychologist essentially didn't consider herself to be a psychologist and seemed to believe that only therapists need to follow ethical codes.

	Is "Popular Rule" Possible?
		The very idea of "popular rule" is starkly inconsistent with the understanding of political psychology provided by the past half-century of research by psychologists and political scientists.
		Political elites have had about as much chance of providing a clarifying debate on abortion as they have on any issue before the American public—without producing, at least by the evidence of Freedman and Goldstein, any clear reconciliation of the powerful competing values at stake.
		Some political philosophers have proposed deliberative procedures that might be thought of as embodying normative theories of appropriate contexts for democratic choice.

	Inescapable Politics in Psychology
		Politics may be conceptualized as the utilization of influence to advance certain public philosophies.
		The answer to the second question--what politics should we pursue--depends of course on the social and political orientation of the individuals concerned, but in order to advance this healthy debate we need to agree first that psychology cannot be disentangled from politics.
		Once we come to terms with the inescapable nature of morals and politics in psychology, our discussions will not center so much on whether this is a legitimate argument, but more to the point, on what is the vision of human welfare we wish to prescribe.

	Sociohistorical Psychology
		Vygotsky is distinctive in the field of psychology because he articulated a profoundly social explanation of human psychology.
		Vygotsky's revolutionary political stance sensitized him to the influence of broad social conditions on psychology: If social change in class structure, institutions, and the division of labor can enhance cognitive functioning and reduce prejudice, conflict, and aggression, then psychological processes must have a social nature.
		Economic, political, and even police power are some of social actions that groups use to promulgate psychological phenomena in the media, schools, family, and at work.

	Spring 2001 Political Psychology Syllabus
		When political scientists find themselves studying the attitudes and behavior of individual political actors, they find themselves necessarily relying on theories borrowed from psychology.
		Political Psychology is a broad and varied field of study.
		Do a limited psychobiography of a political actor -- While you don't have the time and resources to do a full analysis, perhaps you could find enough information on a major contemporary figure to begin to explore the psychodynamics of his or her actions as a political figure.

		Much has been made of the use of negative advertisements in political campaigns, but until a UCLA political scientist conducted the first rigorous social science research into the subject, little could be said with certainty about the effects of such ads.
		After the newscasts, the test subjects were asked about the candidates, their feelings about the political process and, finally, about what they recalled from the ads they had seen.
		He notes that the burgeoning field of political psychology now includes many investigators who are designing studies that combine the realistic settings favored by political scientists with the tightly controlled experiments used by social psychologists.

		And more: psychology itself is a dominant institution with its own oppressive history, often stemming from norms that demand or facilitate measurement, categorization, manipulation, and control.
		Unfortunately, he was unable to persuade the core social psychology faculty to fund my research during the whole three and a half years I was there--unlike my fully funded years in the 1970s when I still dabbled with statistical analysis and hadn't yet criticized the kind of research my professors were doing.
		Psychology's values, assumptions, and practices have been culturally and historically determined, reflecting among other things the prevailing socioeconomic setting, political affinities, responses to external pressures, and battles over power, professionalism, and turf.

	Cultural production and political ideology as courtship displays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As a psychology undergraduate at Columbia, I was puzzled by the spontaneity, ardour, and near-unanimity of the student demands for divestment.
		The hypothesis that loud public advertisements of one’s political ideology function as some sort of courtship display designed to attract sexual mates, analogous to the peacock’s tail or the nightingale’s song, seems dangerous.
		The vast majority of people in modern societies have almost no political power, yet have strong political convictions that they broadcast insistently, frequently, and loudly when social conditions are right.

	POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGIES
		Over the past two decades, mergings of psychologists and political scientists have taken place to yield the field of political psychology.
		With modernization, for instance, political regimes have become the collective instrument for controlling all forms of deaths and for managing cultural death fears as well.
		Given the contemporary political involvements with abortion, suicide prevention, warnings of contaminated food and the risks of smoking, and homicide, it should be evident that polities have become responsible for preventing most forms of premature, man-made (and hence avoidable) death.

	The Political Psychology of Terrorist Alarms
		Recently Philip Zimbardo, Ph.D., Past President of APA, circulated a paper, dated February 26, 2003, entitled "The Political Psychology of Terrorist Alarms." The article is a sad example of how a highly competent and respected psychologist can inappropriately use his knowledge and professional reputation for political purposes.
		The political argumentation begins on the top of page 2 where he asks "Where are the alleged thousands of terrorists." In effect, he is implying that our leaders knowingly issued a factually incorrect terrorism warning.
		Those are political arguments, made without proof, and certainly not based on proven knowledge about the psychological intentions of those who issued the alarms.

	Review: Political Psychology, by Jost and Sidanius (eds)
		As a part of the Psychology Press 'Key Readings in Social Psychology' series, this is a big, 500-page book in the relatively specialized, but very important, area of political psychology.
		Bridging the gap between political science and general psychology, political psychology looks more deeply into the working of the political mind and is arguably one of the most important areas of concern for aspiring politicians and their supporters today.
		For the lay reader it may be a little on the heavy side, although those who are prepared to put in the necessary time and effort will be well-rewarded.
