Study Notes
Introduction to Political Psychology
- Political psychology is a field of study examining psychological factors influencing political behavior and systems.
Subject of Political Psychology
- Political system
- Political institutions
- Social groups
- Individuals
Course Structure
- Political attitudes and political efficacy (topics 2-4)
- Social influence in politics: group processes (topic 5) and communication (topics 6-7)
- Psychology of intergroup relations: indicators, causes of conflict, improvement of relations (topics 8-10)
- Political behavior: elections, protests, and violence (topics 11-13)
Understanding Human Nature
- Individuals possess relatively stable, unique characteristics (dispositional principle).
- Individuals always operate in specific situations (situational principle).
- Individuals have cognitive systems (attitudes) enabling interpretation of events.
Human Nature: Psychological Representation
- Individuals create mental models of their surroundings/people (social cognition): appearance, statements, actions (political). This leads to inferences on individuals' psychological characteristics
- Knowledge exchange: political communication (social communication) can occur directly (verbal) or indirectly (nonverbal) and individually or broadly (mass).
- Interaction (social interaction): influences of individuals (leadership) or group members (group influence e.g., majority/minority).
- Grouping: individuals unite in small (face-to-face) or large groups based on shared traits (e.g., gender, age, ideologies, politics)
- Relationships: relationships are organized on two levels: interpersonal (personal identity) and intergroup (social identity).
Research Methods
- Descriptive research: describes phenomena
- Cross-sectional research: examines correlations between variables.
- Experimental research: determines the effect of a single variable on another.
- Longitudinal research: tracks changes over time.
- Meta-analytic research: identifies shared trends.
Research Methods: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches
- Qualitative methods: uncovering/understanding of phenomena and patterns in data.
- Small samples (possible diverse participants)
- Data isn't heavily affected by researchers' assumptions
- Data not always easily generalizable to wider populations
- Quantitative methods: assessing and quantifying relationships and patterns.
- Larger samples (more homogenous participants)
- Data is heavily affected by researchers' assumptions
- Data can be generalized more broadly
Research Methods: Specific Techniques
- Observation: structured and organized observation/recording of behaviour
- Surveys: gathering information on beliefs, opinions, feelings using contacts with participants
- Document analysis: gaining insights about beliefs, opinions, thoughts based on content analysis of documents
