ABSTRACT
What is political psychology? How does it differ from political science and from other branches of psychology? What are its key concepts, methodologies, and texts? What are the main research topics, Welds, and controversies that enliven political psychology, giving it both passion and value in our immediate lives, as well as in our scholarship? These were the questions posed to the contributors to a volume that I hope will both inform the newcomer and chart the direction for future scholarly research in this exciting Weld.
