Political Psychology is the study of how psychological factors influence political behavior and decision-making. It examines the interplay between individual psychology and political processes, exploring how emotions, beliefs, and social identities shape political opinions and actions.
This field also investigates how political environments affect psychological states, such as the impact of propaganda on public opinion or the role of group dynamics in political movements. By understanding these relationships, Political Psychology aims to provide insights into voter behavior, political leadership, and the functioning of democratic systems.
