About the series

Many (if not most) political outcomes depend on the perceptions, opinions, beliefs, decisions and behaviors of different groups of people. To understand politics, we need to understand the different ways that people interact with their political environments. Therefore, to understand politics, we must turn to psychology.  This series publishes new, cutting-edge work at the intersection of psychology and political science.  The goal is to understanding contemporary politics by starting with the explanations of the motivations and beliefs that shape people’s political behavior. The pieces in the series bring together psychology and politics, along with novel empirical methods.
