National Identity in a United Germany: Nationalism or Patriotism? An Empirical Test With Representative DataPolitical Psychology - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 289-312 - 2003
Thomas Blank, Peter Schmidt
Nationalism and patriotism can be thought of as consequences of national identity that represent positive evaluations of one's own group but imply different social goals. This paper investigates the ways in which these concepts are related to attitudes toward minorities. The data analyzed were drawn from a representative sample of residents of the former East and West Germany who responded...... hiện toàn bộ
Climate‐Science Communication and the Measurement ProblemPolitical Psychology - Tập 36 Số S1 - Trang 1-43 - 2015
Dan M. Kahan
This article examines the science‐of‐science‐communication measurement problem. In its simplest form, the problem reflects the use of externally invalid measures of the dynamics that generate cultural conflict over risk and other policy‐relevant facts. But at a more fundamental level, the science‐of‐science‐communication measurement problem inheres in the phenome...... hiện toàn bộ
On the Left and Right Ideological Divide: Historical Accounts and Contemporary PerspectivesPolitical Psychology - Tập 39 Số S1 - Trang 49-83 - 2018
Gian Vittorio Caprara, Michele Vecchione
Left and right are viewed as social constructs that serve to orient and to bind people to political choices over the last two centuries mostly within established Western liberal democracies. Their contents and functions, however, have not been invariant across polities but were largely shaped in accordance with the distinctive characteristics of societies and of political systems in which ...... hiện toàn bộ
Explaining Normative Versus Nonnormative Action: The Role of Implicit TheoriesPolitical Psychology - Tập 37 Số 6 - Trang 835-852 - 2016
Eric Shuman, Smadar Cohen‐Chen, Sivan Hirsch‐Hoefler, Eran Halperin
The current research investigates what motivates people to engage in normative versus nonnormative action. Prior research has shown that different emotions lead to different types of action. We argue that these differing emotions are determined by a more basic characteristic, namely, implicit theories about whether groups and the world in general can change. We hypothesized that incrementa...... hiện toàn bộ
Upper‐Body Strength and Political Egalitarianism: Twelve Conceptual ReplicationsPolitical Psychology - Tập 40 Số 2 - Trang 375-394 - 2019
Michael Bang Petersen, Lasse Laustsen
Animal models of conflict behavior predict that an organism's behavior in a conflict situation is influenced by physical characteristics related to abilities to impose costs on adversaries. Stronger and larger organisms should be more motivated to seek larger shares of resources and higher places in hierarchies. Previous studies of human males have suggested that measures of upper‐body str...... hiện toàn bộ

Exposure to derogatory language about immigrants and minority groups leads to political radicalization and deteriorates intergroup relations. This article addresses the psychological processes responsible for these effects as well as those involved in hate‐speech proliferation in contemporary societies and discusses the factors that constrain its growth. We propose that frequent exposure t...... hiện toàn bộ
Measuring Stereotypes of Female PoliticiansPolitical Psychology - Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 245-266 - 2014
Monica C. Schneider, Angela L. Bos
One explanation for the dearth of women in elected office is that voters stereotype candidates based on their gender. Research in this vein often assumes that female candidates will be stereotyped similarly to women (e.g., as compassionate) and measures stereotypes as such. We question this assumption, proposing instead that female politicians constitute a subtype—a new stereotypical categ...... hiện toàn bộ
