Talk:Political psychology

Untitled

Over at Talk:Cult of personality there is quite a dscussion about what this really is and who it applies to (more specifically Castro, but also many others like, say, Washington). Anyone here know? Or know a good source? DirkvdM 10:30, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm currently taking a course on (World) Political Psyschology, so I hope to add significantly to this article soon. One of our textbooks is an anthology of articles dealing with this topic, so I guess I'll start there ^^. I'll also take a look at the Talk page you mentioned, thanks.

Lacking content and breadth?

This article is weighed down by Infoboxes but is severely lacking in actual content. A couple of examples preceding the suggested start date in the 1940s:

• Wilhelm Reich and Sex-Pol
• Frankfurt School - from the contributions by Eric Fromm to their journal in 1932 through to the Dialectic of Enlightenment

as well as Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents" etc.

And then later:

• Herbert Marcuse's "Eros and Civilization", Norman O. Brown's "Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytic Meaning of History" in the late 50s influencing the 60s
• Anti-Œdipus in the 1970s

Proposed reorganization

I propose to reorganize this article, trimming a lot of the personality-focused content and groups content into more concise sections, and possibly organizing along the lines of chapters in [1]. The behavior section seems important and should probably be emphasized, but there should also be a focus more on attitudes, motivation, cognition, schemata, etc. that have been a significant focus of political psychology research.

Separate section for voting behavior

My colleague and I are currently take a psychology class and working on political behavior and we feel that the sub category on voting behavior in this article deserves an article on its own. We will go ahead and create a stub article, using the existing section on voting behavior. Within the next two week, we will be adding significant parts of the article.Socrates_27 09.36, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Listicle

Check out the expanded view of the article's present lead:

As an interdisciplinary field, political psychology borrows from a wide range of other disciplines, including:

• anthropology
• sociology
• international relations
• economics
• philosophy
• media
• journalism
• history.

Political psychology aims to understand interdependent relationships between individuals and contexts that are influenced by:

• beliefs
• motivation
• perception
• cognition
• information processing
• learning strategies
• socialization
• attitude formation.

Political psychological theory and approaches have been applied in many contexts such as:

• leadership role
• domestic and foreign policy making
• behavior in ethnic violence
• war and genocide
• group dynamics and conflict
• racist behavior
• voting attitudes and motivation
• voting and the role of the media
• nationalism
• political extremism.

In essence political psychologists study:

• foundations
• dynamics
• outcomes

of political behavior using

• cognitive
• social explanations.

One of the most listicle leads I've yet encountered.

Whether this is excessive or not in the present context I'll leave for other editors to determine. — MaxEnt 19:06, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Lakoff, Haidt, and Gilligan

I came to this article expecting to find George Lakoff, Jonathan Haidt, and James Gilligan. I was surprised not to see any of them mentioned on this page, except for Haidt in the see also section. Do they belong in this article? Has the field written these off as non-scholarly? Is there another article I'm looking for? I'm not familiar with the field as such apart from the works of these authors. Daask (talk) 19:11, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

The African diaspora is missing

Here are some notable figures. Worthy of a section on this page.

Anton Wilhelm Amo, 18th century Ghanaian/German

William Edward Burghardt DuBois, 19th century American
