Recenzje

'We live at a moment in history where political information (and misinformation) can be disseminated at lightning speed, creating and polarizing partisans. Understanding political behavior, divides, and progress in this context is a fascinating and important task, but one that can be frustrating. It is here that this handbook comes in, distilling decades of research on political psychology in a comprehensive volume. Unifying fresh and established experts, this book sheds light on issues that are affecting us on the ground: populism, identity, conflict, and change. Consequently, it is an invaluable resource for those studying, or interested in, the psychology of political behavior.' Fiona Kate Barlow, The University of Queensland, Australia
