Political Psychology
Political Psychology is widely regarded as one of the premier research and graduate training centers in the United States.
The field of political psychology has grown rapidly and become an important and influential area of scholarship in the social sciences. Originating in the early 1940s in psychoanalytic research on personality and politics, political psychology now involves research on political belief systems, political attitudes and behavior andpolitical information processing and cognition. Political psychology also focuses increasingly on the role of affect and emotion and their link to political cognition and behavior.
