Political psychology aims to understand interdependent relationships
between individuals and contexts that are influenced by beliefs,
motivation, perception, cognition, information processing, learning
strategies, socialization and 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; and political extremism.[1]
In essence political psychologists study the foundations, dynamics, and
outcomes of political behavior using cognitive and social explanations.
