L33 Psych 413 Contemporary Topics in Social Psychology: Political Psychology 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This is an advanced seminar on political psychology designed for upper-level undergraduates, primarily juniors and seniors. We shall consider several issues lying at the intersection of social and political psychology. We begin with consideration of what it means to be "liberal" or "conservative", and the complexities inherent in measuring ideology and its relation to voting. We then consider dynamics of political polarization: what factors drive liberals and conservatives to disagree with one another, and is there any way of reducing these divisions? We also focus on other issues, such as the role of situational factors (e.g., terrorist threat) in "shifting" ideological preferences and the dynamics of politically-infused conspiracy theories, such as beliefs associated with the Covid pandemic. Given the timing of this course, the dynamics of the Fall 2024 Presidential election will be a major focus. PREREQ: Psych 315.
