This course introduces students to the classical debates and current trends in political psychology, presenting them with a mix of quantitative and qualitative research findings from the area of political psychology. It aims for the students to develop and demonstrate a critical understanding of the debates that informed the area, the individual (e.g., personality, attitudes, cognitions, and emotions) and the situational factors (e.g., social influence processes and inter-group dynamics) that lead to political behaviors, and a critical evaluation of the applicability of research and theory to the current socio-political issues.
