Political psychology applies what is known about human psychology to the study of politics. It examines how people reach political decisions on topics such as voting, party identification, and political attitudes as well as how leaders mediate political conflicts and make foreign policy decisions.The Oxford Handbook of Political Psychologygathers together a distinguished group of scholars from around the world to shed light on these vital questions. Focusing first on political psychology at the individual level (attitudes, values, decision-making, ideology, personality) and then moving to the collective (group identity, mass mobilization, political violence), this fully interdisciplinary volume covers models of the mass public and political elites and addresses both domestic issues and foreign policy.

Now with new material providing an up-to-date account of cutting-edge research within both psychology and political science, this is an essential reference for scholars and students interested in the intersection of the two fields.

政治心理学将有关人类心理学的知识应用于政治研究。它研究人们如何就投票、政党认同和政治态度等主题作出政治决定，以及领导人如何调解政治冲突和作出外交政策决定。《牛津政治心理学手册》汇集了来自世界各地的杰出学者，对这些重要问题进行了阐述。本书首先关注个人层面的政治心理学（态度、价值观、决策、意识形态、人格），然后转向集体层面（群体认同、群众动员、政治暴力），这本完全跨学科的书涵盖了大众和政治精英的模型，并涉及国内问题和外交政策。

这本书现在有了新的材料，提供了心理学和政治学的最新研究，是对这两个领域的交叉感兴趣的学者和学生的重要参考。
