ABSTRACT

Political psychology is a diverse blend of intellectual threads from within political science and psychology, as can be gleaned from the titles and content of chapters in this volume. The fertile exchange between political science and psychology may be somewhat one-sided, as argued by Krosnick and McGraw (this volume), with political science providing the problems and psychology proffering the solutions. Nonetheless, topics in this volume reXect the Weld’s interdisciplinary bent and range from the strategic communications of world leaders (Jervis, this volume) to the effects of early political socialization (Sears, this volume).
