SP26-4783 Political Psychology Professor: David Knupp Day/Time: Tuesdays | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM Modality: In-Person This course explores what psychology can tell us about what happens in politics and why, looking at how individuals process political information, beliefs, and attitudes. Furthermore, we will examine how information, beliefs, and attitudes translate into political behavior and their consequences for public policy. Do people act on the basis of their individual interests or their social group interests? Can theories of personality and group identity tell us why people affiliate with one party or another? Answering these questions will help us to understand how people interact with the news media, affiliate with political parties, and decide who to vote for. In the process of answering these questions, we will examine real-life examples of how political ideologies have changed over the years and how the approach to addressing those changes has evolved.
