Introduction to Political Psychology

Intergroup Conflicts and Their Resolution

2nd Edition

A Social Psychological Perspective

Martha L. Cottam, Washington State University, USA; Beth Dietz-Uhler, Miami University, USA; Elena Mastors, Thomas Preston, Washington State University, USA

Daniel Bar-Tal (Ed.) Tel Aviv University, Israel

This comprehensive, user-friendly introductory textbook to political psychology explores the psychological origins of political behavior. The authors introduce readers to a broad range of theories, concepts, and case studies of political activity to illustrate that behavior. The book examines many patterns of political behaviors, including leadership, group behavior, voting, race, ethnicity, nationalism, terrorism, war, and genocide. It explores some of the most horrific things people do to one another for political purposes, as well as how to prevent and resolve conflict – and how to recover from it. The goal is to help the reader understand the enormous complexity of human behavior and the significant role political psychology can play in improving the human condition. The book contains numerous pedagogical features, including text boxes highlighting current and historical events to help students see the connections between the world around them and the concepts they are learning. Different research methodologies used in the discipline are employed, such as experimentation and content analysis. The ‘Political Being’ is used throughout to remind the reader of the psychological theories and concepts to be explored in each chapter. New to the second edition is coverage of recent political events, including the 2008 US presidential election, Darfur, Iraq, and Afghanistan. There are now separate chapters on race, ethnic conflicts, terrorism, and conflict resolution. In addition, instructor resources are available online (www.psypress.com/textbookresources). This accessible and engaging introductory textbook is suitable as a primary text on a range of upper-level courses in political psychology, political behavior, and related fields, including policymaking.

Frontiers of Social Psychology Series This book sheds an illuminating light into the psyche of people involved in macrolevel destructive intergroup conflicts that take place continuously in various parts of the globe. It focuses on the socio-psychological repertoire that evolves in these societies or groups and which plays a determinative role in its dynamics. Specifically, this repertoire influences the nature of social reality about the conflict that society members construct, the involvement with and mobilization of society members for the conflict, the sense of solidarity and unity they experience, the conformity expected from society members, the pressure exerted on leaders, and the direction of action taken by the leadership. In addition, the book describes the changes in the socio-psychological repertoire that are necessary to ignite the peace process. Finally, it elaborates on the nature and the processes of peace building, including conflict resolution and reconciliation. The proposed conception assumes that although each conflict has its unique context and characteristics, the socio-psychological foundations and dynamics are similar. It offers a holistic and comprehensive outlook on the dynamics that characterize each stage and aspect of intractable conflicts. Each chapter systematically elucidates a particular part of the cycle, describing the theoretical frameworks and concepts, as well as presenting empirical data that was accumulated. The volume is an important contribution for all those who study intergroup conflicts and want to understand their dynamics. In addition, the book will interest the many people attempting to settle conflicts peacefully and who need knowledge about the sociopsychological vectors that influence their course and resolution.

Revitalizing Political Psychology The Legacy of Harold D. Lasswell William Ascher & Barbara HirschfelderAscher Claremont McKenna College, USA “The potential of this book [is] to bring Lasswell’s work to the careful attention of academics and policy analysts for whom his framework and formulations have, for whatever reasons, either fallen beneath the intellectual radar screen altogether or, perhaps more commonly, been filtered and partially eclipsed by renderings of those ideas which have been uneven at best. … At least two things are clear: one is the immense burden of debt owed to Harold Lasswell by all who currently study and practice at the intersection of psychology and politics; the other is the debt of gratitude owed by all who seek a more vital and useful future for this field to Ascher and Hirschfelder-Ascher for revealing how such a future might be realized. ... [This book] is nothing less than a tour de force.” - Dan B. Thomas in Policy Sciences The goal of this book is to recapture the diminished roles of affect, psychological needs, and the psychodynamic mechanisms that are crucial for understanding political behavior by explaining and extending the contributions of Harold D. Lasswell, the dominant figure in political psychology in the mid-twentieth-century. Although

Lasswell was best known for applying psychodynamic theories to politics, this book also demonstrates how his framework accommodated for cognitive processes and social interactions ranging from communications to policy-making. The authors use Lasswell’s contributions and the debates over his ideas as a springboard for examining current policy, political, and leadership issues. Revitalizing Political Psychology presents and extends four aspects of Lasswell’s contributions to the field: the psychodynamic mechanisms drawn from psychoanalytic theory, the use of symbol associations to understand political propaganda, the analysis of ‘democratic character’ for both the public and the elites, and the structure of belief systems. In so doing, the authors link personality and political communication theory to democratic practice. The authors also critique leadership studies using Lasswell’s concerns over the risks to democratic accountability and the current preoccupation with strengthening the roles of charismatic and transformational leaders. Intended for researchers, practitioners, and students in the areas of political and historical psychology, political strategy, and political communication, the book’s emphasis on psychodynamics also appeals to psychoanalysts and the material on leadership appeals to professionals in management and industrial/organizational psychology.

The Psychology of Justice and Legitimacy D. Ramona Bobocel, Aaron C. Kay, Mark P. Zanna, University of Waterloo, Canada; James M. Olson, University of Western Ontario, Canada (Eds.) Ontario Symposia on Personality and Social Psychology Series In response to the international turmoil, violence, and increasing ideological polarization, social psychological interest in the topics of legitimacy and social justice has blossomed considerably. Social psychologists have explored the psychological underpinnings of people’s reactions to injustice and illegitimacy, including the behavioral and psychological consequences of the motivation to view individual outcomes and governmental systems as just and legitimate. Although injustice and illegitimacy are clearly related at conceptual and theoretical levels, these two rich literatures are rarely integrated. Social justice researchers have focused on how people make sense of particular instances of injustice, whereas legitimacy researchers have tended to focus primarily on people’s reactions to unfair systems of intergroup relations. This 11th volume of the Ontario Symposium series brings together the work of leading researchers in fields of social justice and legitimacy to facilitate the cross-pollination and integration of these

fields. The contributions address broad theoretical issues and cuttingedge empirical advances, while illustrating the diversity and richness of research in the two fields. By uniting these two domains, this volume will stimulate new directions in theory and research that seek to explain how and why people make sense of injustice at all levels of analysis.

Psychology of Terrorism Classic and Contemporary Insights Jeff Victoroff, University of Southern California, USA Arie W. Kruglanski, University of Maryland, College Park, USA (Eds.) Key Readings in Social Psychology Series “Despite its obvious relevance, until recently psychology has had a relatively small footprint in the study of terrorism. This large volume by two well-established researchers, Jeff Victoroff (a psychiatrist) and Arie Kruglanski (a psychologist), may go far in changing that. The editors have assembled twentyeight readings on the psychology of terrorism that explore all things psychological, from motivation and intent, to rational aspects of terrorism, to strategies for countering terrorists. They strike a nice balance between classics and important recent contributions.” - Gary LaFree, Director, National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), University of Maryland, USA Substate terrorism now represents one of the gravest threats to human civilizations. As the frequency of interstate wars has declined since the end of the Second World War, terrible violence against innocent civilians is increasingly perpetrated by non-state groups with extreme agendas and virtually no restraints. Why do people become terrorists? Are terrorists crazy? Simply evil? Normal people driven to extremes? What social factors and tensions are most likely to provoke terrorist behaviors? And how can we use our rapidly

growing understanding of the psychology of terrorism to anticipate coming attacks and protect the international community? Psychology of Terrorism is a collection of the best classic and contemporary writings about the mind of the terrorist. Carefully selected by a panel of world-renowned authorities for value and readability, this collection provides the reader with deep knowledge and unique insights into the ideas, feelings, and social influences of modern terrorist groups. General readers who wish to understand this deadly phenomenon, students and scholars of human psychology or political science, and decision makers facing the challenge of designing effective counterterrorism policies will enjoy and profit from these essential readings and the inescapable conclusion they suggest: By ignoring the psychology of terrorism, Western nations have been making grave errors in the so-called war on terrorism. Understanding the deep roots of terrorist behaviors gives us tools that are absolutely vital to any effort in reducing this escalating threat. CONTENTS Introduction. Part 1.

Political Psychology

Situations, Individuals, and Cases

Key Readings

David P. Houghton University of Central Florida, USA

John T. Jost, New York University, USA

“Political Psychology is written in an engaging manner and would serve as a good introduction for students to political psychology. It uses an interesting framework for discussing political behavior and prompts critical thinking from students. The book will be most useful to instructors of undergraduate political psychology courses.” - PsycCRITIQUES “This textbook provides a concise, logically organised overview of the pertinent topic of political psychology, written in an accessible yet sophisticated way with undergraduates in mind. ... There is a scarcity of up-to-date general textbooks in the area of political psychology. This book fills the void in providing an introductory overview that is both highly accessible and interesting.” - The Psychologist What shapes political behavior more: the situations in which individuals find themselves, or the internal psychological makeup – beliefs, values, and so on – of those individuals? This is perhaps the leading division within the psychological study of politics today. This text provides a concise, readable, and conceptually-organized introduction to the topic of political psychology by examining this very question. Using this situationism-dispositionism framework – which roughly parallels the concerns of social and cognitive psychology – this book focuses on such key explanatory mechanisms as behaviorism, obedience, personality, groupthink, cognition, affect, emotion, and neuroscience to explore topics ranging from voting behavior and racism to terrorism and international relations. Houghton’s clear and engaging examples directly challenge students to place themselves in both real and hypothetical situations which involve intense moral and political dilemmas. This highly readable text will provide students with the conceptual foundation they need to make sense of the rapidly changing and increasingly important field of political psychology. CONTENTS 1.

Religious Fundamentalism Global, Local and Personal

Religious Fundamentalism and Social Identity

Peter Herriot University of Surrey, UK and Open University Business School, Milton Keynes, UK

“Peter Herriot has written a remarkably comprehensive study of fundamentalism around the world. His work is comprehensive, scholarly, yet wonderfully readable. Names and movements such as Al-Qaida, Gush Emunim, Sayeed Qutb and Jack Straw and the niqab are presented in provocative case studies that illuminate fundamentalism from a global, local, and personal perspective.” - Ralph W. Hood, Jr., University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, USA How does a religious fundamentalist come to embrace a countercultural world view? Fundamentalism can be analysed from a variety of perspectives. It is a type of belief system which enables individuals to make sense of their lives and provides them with an identity. It is a social phenomenon, in which strictly religious people act according to the norms, values, and beliefs of the group to which they belong. It is a cultural product, in the sense that different cultural settings result in different forms of fundamentalism. And it is a global phenomenon, in the obvious sense that it is to be found everywhere, and also because it is both a reaction against, and also a part of, the globalising modern world. Religious Fundamentalism deals with all of these four levels of analysis, uniquely combining sociological and psychological perspectives, and relating them to each other. Each chapter is followed by a lengthy case study, and these range from a close textual analysis of George W. Bush’s second inaugural speech through to a treatment of Al-Qaida as a global media event. This book provides a comprehensive social scientific perspective on a subject of immense contemporary significance, and should be of use both to university students and also to students of the contemporary world. CONTENTS Introduction. 1. Fundamentalism is Global. Case Study: Al-Qaida: A Global Fundamentalist Movement. 2. Cultures and Fundamentalisms.

“Peter Herriot demonstrates how far one can come with linking theories about intergroup relations with religious fundamentalism. It is evident that these theories are highly relevant for and applicable to the phenomenon at hand. He has created a remarkable and original work.” - Bertjan Doosje, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands The attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon in the United States of September 11th, 2001, brought the phenomenon of religious fundamentalism to the world’s attention. Sociological research has clearly demonstrated that fundamentalists are primarily reacting against modernity, and believe that they are fighting for the very survival of their faith against the secular enemy. But we understand very little about how and why people join fundamentalist movements and embrace a set of beliefs, values and norms of behaviour which are counter-cultural. This is essentially a question for social psychology, since it involves both social relations and individual selves. Drawing on a broad theoretical perspective, social identity theory, Peter Herriot addresses two key questions: why do fundamentalists identify themselves as an in-group fighting against various outgroups? And how do the psychological needs for self-esteem and meaning motivate them? Case studies of Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 hijackers, and of the current controversy in the Anglican Church about gay priests and bishops, demonstrate how fruitfully this theory can be applied to fundamentalist conflicts. It also offers psychologically sensible ways of managing such conflicts, rather than treating fundamentalists as an enemy to be defeated. Religious Fundamentalism and Social Identity is unique in applying social identity theory to fundamentalism, and rare in that it provides psychological (in addition to sociological) analyses of the phenomenon. It is a valuable resource for courses in social psychology which seek to demonstrate the applicability of social psychological theory to the real world. CONTENTS Introduction. 1.

The New Psychology of Leadership

Handbook on Peace Education

Identity, Influence and Power

Gavriel Salomon, University of Haifa, Israel Ed Cairns, University of Ulster, UK (Eds.)

S. Alexander Haslam, University of Exeter, UK; Stephen Reicher, University of St Andrews, UK; Michael Platow, Australian National University “As Haslam, Reicher and Platow set it out, a simple but profound theory underlies their new psychology of leadership. And that theory seems so very right that it may come as a surprise that this is not already the concept of leadership everywhere. This captures the true structure of what leadership is all about. Accordingly, on almost every page of the text there is a new subtlety about what leadership means and about how it works. It tackles a subject older than Plato and as current as Barack Obama in a new and correct way.” - From the foreword by George A. Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, University of California, Berkeley, USA According to John Adair, the most important word in the leader’s vocabulary is “we” and the least important word is “I”. But if this is true, it raises one important question: why do psychological analyses of leadership always focus on the leader as an individual – as the great “I”? One answer is that theorists and practitioners have never properly understood the psychology of ‘we-ness’. This book fills this gap by presenting a new psychology of leadership that is the result of two decades of research inspired by social identity and self-categorization theories. The book argues that to succeed, leaders need to create, champion, and embed a group identity in order to cultivate an understanding of ‘us’ of which they themselves are representative. It also shows how, by doing this, they can make a material difference to the groups, organizations, and societies that they lead. Written in an accessible and engaging style, the book examines a range of theoretical and practical issues that are central to the leadership process. These include the nature of group identity, the basis of authority and legitimacy, the dynamics of justice and fairness, the determinants of followership and charisma, and the practice and politics of leadership. The book will appeal to academics, practitioners and students in social and organizational psychology, sociology, political science and anyone interested in leadership, influence and power.

“In today’s world more than any other time in history, peace education could make a profound difference in the lives people live. This fundamental resource maps what we know, what we can do, and what we have yet to find out.” - David Perkins, Senior Co-director, Harvard Project Zero, Senior Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA This handbook encompasses a range of disciplines that underlie the field of peace education and provides the rationales for the ways it is actually carried out. The discipline is a composite of contributions from a variety of disciplines ranging from social psychology to philosophy and from communication to political science. That is, peace education is an applied subject which is practiced in differing ways, but must always be firmly based on a range of established empirical disciplines. The volume is structured around contributions from expert scholars in various fields that underpin peace education, plus contributions from experts in applying peace education in a range of settings, all complemented by chapters which deal with issues related to research and evaluation of peace education.

Insights from Policy-Minded Researchers and Research-Minded Policymakers Karen Bogenschneider & Tom Corbett University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA “This book ... tells a story that is informative and engaging. ... The authors have done an excellent job in communicating the different voices and issues of researchers and policy makers. ... [It] would be of interest to researchers interested in having their research more effectively utilized in public policy. ... Policy makers would find it helpful in understanding the academic/research community. ... I could see this book as an excellent text in a professional issues class and/or a program development and/or evaluation class.” - Donald G. Unger, University of Delaware, USA “Very few researchers have much training in working in the policymaking arena. This book can help to remedy that weakness both within the professional market and in the training of graduate students. I would definitely consider adopting the book for a graduate course on family policy. ... It offers an insightful and timely consideration of how we might better integrate the research and policymaking cultures.” Mick Coleman, University of Georgia, USA This book is for those who believe that good government should be based on hard evidence, and that research and policy ought to go hand-in-hand. Unfortunately, no such bond exists. Rather, there is a substantial gap, some say chasm, between the production of knowledge and its utilization. Despite much contrary evidence, the authors propose there is a way of doing public policy in a more reflective manner, and that a hunger for evidence and objectivity does exist. This book examines ways to enhance evidence-based policymaking, striking a balance between theory and practice. The attention to theory builds a greater understanding of why miscommunication and mistrust occur. Until we better appreciate the forces that divide researchers and policymakers, we cannot effectively construct strategies for bringing them together. The book is pragmatic, drawing on advice from some of the best and brightest informants from both the research and policy communities. In their own voices, researchers provide incisive analysis about how to bridge the research/policy divide, and policymakers provide insights about why they use research, what kind is most useful, where they seek it, and how they screen its quality. The book breaks through stereotypes about what policymakers are like, and provides an insider’s view of how the policy process really works. Readers will learn what knowledge, skills, approaches, and attitudes are needed to take research findings from the laboratory to lawmaking bodies, and how to evaluate one’s success in doing so.

The authors review the latest empirical and theoretical work. However, nothing substitutes for their extensive experience working at the interface of research and policy, between the worlds of analysis and action. The book reflects their passion for the way public policy is done and their vision for the way it might be done. The book’s practical examples and pragmatic advice will appeal to students in graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in family studies and family policy, educational policy, law, political science, public administration, public health, social work, and sociology. This book will also be of interest to researchers who want to bring their ideas into policy debate and to those who work with policymakers to advance an evidence-based policy agenda.

Journals New Editor for 2010!

NEW EDITOR 2010 Michèle Robert, Université de Montréal, Canada The International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union. IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world. IJP does not publish technical articles, validations of questionnaires and tests, or clinical case studies. Regular issues include two types of articles: empirical articles and review articles. Empirical articles report data from single or multiple studies in one of the major fields of scientific psychology. Review articles provide overviews of the international literature on a particular topic; authors are especially encouraged to include in their review relevant publications from regions of the world not typically cited and/or not published in English. Special topical issues or sections are also published two or three times a year. All articles include a detailed abstract in English, French and Spanish. Manuscript Submission Our aim is to gradually increase the reach of the journal to even more geographical areas of the world and to extend the areas of scientific psychology covered. Authors from all fields within scientific psychology are encouraged to send their manuscripts to the journal.

The Psychology of Political Orientation Guest Editors: Leonard L. Martin, Ralph Erber The feeling that we are strongly divided on political grounds seems to be growing.

Given the growing role that political ideology may be playing in people’s lives, it seemed important to understand this ideology.

Special Issue

Do I See Us Like You See Us? Consensus, Agreement, and the Context of Leadership Relationships A Special Issue of the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology Guest Edited by Birgit Schyns, David V. Day The quality of relationships between leaders and followers continues to be a relevant topic for researchers and practitioners. The importance of that relationship cannot be overestimated because it is a lens through which followers view their entire work experience. Also, the relationship between followers is considered vital for team functioning. To date, there are many unanswered questions regarding various aspects of work relationships. This special issue contributes to the examination of the broader context of leader-member dyads. Contributions focus on consensus in follower perceptions of their leader and the level of agreement between leaders and followers on their shared relationship May 2010: 6x9: 160pp Hb: 978-1-84872-728-1: $54.95
