Political psychology applies what is known about human psychology to the study of politics. It examines citizens’ vote choices and public opinion as well as how political leaders deal with threat, mediate political conflicts, and make foreign policy decisions. The second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Political Psychology gathers together a distinguished group of international scholars to shed light on such questions as: To what extent are people’s political choices influenced by information outside of conscious awareness? Does personality affect leadership style? Do strong emotions distort the political process and worsen or enhance political decisions? Focusing on political psychology at the individual level (genes, early childhood, personality, decision-making, emotions, values, ideology) and the collective (group identity, social justice, mass mobilization, political violence, prejudice reduction), this interdisciplinary volume covers models of the mass public and political elites and addresses both domestic issues and foreign policy. The volume provides an up-to-date, comprehensive, and expertly distilled account of cutting-edge research within both psychology and political science.

Behavioral Political Science (BPS) is a new approach to political science that is rooted in the belief that concepts, models, and research approaches from different disciplines (such as Psychology, Economics, Communication), can deepen our understanding of political behavior and political decision making. In recent years, a significant body of literature based in the behavioral approach has emerged, enriching our perception of ways by which a wide range of cognitive, emotional, and motivational factors impact actors' thinking processes and behavior choices in different strategic, political, and other social settings. In this introduction we discuss the behavioral political science approach and the ability of behavioral-oriented research to explain many of the phenomena that deviate from the traditional rational choice models that have dominated the field for decades. We present the chapters included in the four sections of the Handbook: bounded rationality and heuristics; theoretical approaches; attitudes; BPS research methods
