Psychology of Democracy: Of the People, By the People, For the People
Book information
Description
Democracy was forged in the furnaces of oppression, whether combatting tyranny or affirming the rights of the individual. As democracy is under threat in many parts of the world, there has never been a more urgent need to understand political thoughts and behaviours. This lucid and accessible book brings together a global group of scholars from psychology, political science, communication, sociology, education and psychiatry. The book's structure, based on Abraham Lincoln's well-known phrase 'Of, by and for' the people, scrutinises the psychological factors experienced by politicians as representatives 'of' the electorate, the political institutions and systems devised 'by' those we elect, and the societies that influence the context 'for' us as citizens. From trust to risk, from political values to moral and religious priorities, from the personality and language of leaders to fake news and anti-democratic forces, this book provides vital new insights for researchers, politicians and citizens alike. 01.0_pp_i_ii_Psychology_of_Democracy 02.0_pp_iii_iii_Psychology_of_Democracy 03.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 04.0_pp_v_vii_Contents 05.0_pp_viii_ix_Figures 06.0_pp_x_xi_Tables 07.0_pp_xii_xiv_Contributors 08.0_pp_xv_xix_Preface 09.0_pp_xx_xx_Acknowledgements 10.0_pp_1_22_Psychology_of_Democracy 11.0_pp_23_170_Of_the_People 11.1_pp_25_51_Personality_Politics_and_Strong_Democracy 11.2_pp_52_83_From_Big_Ben_to_the_Breakfast_Table 11.3_pp_84_101_Under_the_Microscope 11.4_pp_102_123_Cognitive_Complexity 11.5_pp_124_145_In_A_League_of_Their_Own 11.6_pp_146_170_The_Mental_Well-Being_of_Politicians 12.0_pp_171_304_By_the_People 12.1_pp_173_194_Trust_in_Political_Institutions_and_Support_for_Authoritarianism 12.2_pp_195_228_New_Technology_Language_and_Gesture_in_Contemporary_Indian_Political_Discourse 12.3_pp_229_249_Fact_or_Fiction 12.4_pp_250_264_Dissecting_the_Psychology_of_a_Voter 12.5_pp_265_285_Building_Trust_through_a_Revolving_Door_of_Leaders 12.6_pp_286_304_After_the_Party_Is_Over 13.0_pp_305_440_For_the_People 13.1_pp_307_331_Democracy_as_a_Moral_Challenge 13.2_pp_332_353_Can_I_Trust_My_Future 13.3_pp_354_376_Religious_Identity_Politics_and_Genuine_Support_for_Democracy 13.4_pp_377_402_Psychology_Democracy_and_the_Media 13.5_pp_403_422_A_Social_Psychological_Approach_to_Understanding_Chinas_Democratisation
