Political psychology is an interdisciplinary academic field, dedicated
to understanding politics, politicians and political behavior from a
psychological perspective, and psychological processes using socio-political
perspectives.
What is
the political theory of psychology?
Political psychology is an applied field of research in which
psychological theory and methods aid to understand how people engage in the
political process. While the field pulls from many schools of psychology and
sociology, it is influenced largely by social and personality psychology, as
well as political science.
The next article is about psychology and politics. Those who are
politicians and are in the position of head of state and do not have the
strength and power to tolerate criticism, it is better to give up politics and
hand over responsibility to those who have the strength and power to tolerate
criticism.
Because people who are in the position of power are considered the
father of the nation, they must have the strength and power to tolerate any
kind of criticism, and if they do not have such strength, it is better to give
up politics altogether.
Because politicians have reached the position of president with the
people's vote, and they should consider this, because they have reached power
with the people's vote, they should always listen to the people's demands and
should not expect the people to listen to the politicians. This is the
government, it must listen to the people's demands.

political process.
Politicians should listen to the demands of the nation and respond
positively.
Women are a large and important part of society. Ignoring women's rights
is against political ethics.
Any politician who has the mindset that the nation must listen to and
obey him is a sick personality and should be treated immediately.
Because politicians are elected by the nation and must always listen to
the nation's demands, especially the legitimate demands of women, such as
social welfare, assistance to unemployed women, and the establishment of
complete equality between men and women in all political, social, and
professional fields, and equal pay for men and women.
A politician who is in power must have the following characteristics:
1 The ability to tolerate criticism and be open to criticism.
2 Having an inherent conscience that is willing to listen to the demands
of the nation.
3 Equality and legal equality.
4 Having human and political ethics.
5 There should be no difference between men and women in his mind.
6 He should stand by his promises and fulfill them to the letter.
7 He should not have misogynistic thinking.
8 Women's rights should be his or her priority.
9 Having long-term plans for the education and healthy growth of youth
and children.
10 Politicians should always be in touch with the people and have better
solutions for unemployment and job creation.
The Social Psychology of Humor
Political psychology is an applied field of research in which
psychological theory and methods aid to understand how people engage in the
political process. While the field pulls from many schools of psychology and
sociology, it is influenced largely by social and personality psychology, as
well as political science. Some major topics of interest in the field include
political ideology, political persuasion, and voting behavior (for an overview
of political psychology, see Stone et al., . Over the last decade, researchers
have increasingly investigated the role of political humor—disparagement humor
or ridicule directed at politicians—on people’s attitudes.
Political Psychology, Overview
1 Scope of Political Psychology
1.1 Area of Interest
Let us consider millions of people in different countries all over the
world gathering on the same day in main squares and streets of their towns and
demonstrating in favor of peace, shouting slogans against terrorism and war.
Let us consider other millions of people watching the event on television. If
we zoom in on any of the demonstrators, politicians, bystanders, or the people
simply watching this political event, we may investigate how they represent
people struggling or not struggling for peace, what expectancies they have
regarding possible success of peace movements, what plans they have regarding
their future engagement in peace movements, and so on. We may also move beyond
the specific event and investigate their political views, their political
identities, or their voting intentions. All these issues fall within the area
of interest of political psychology, which studies the representations and
actions of all the people involved in political reality, from simple citizens
to political leaders.
Most research in political psychology originates from the extension of
“basic” psychological research to the political context, an extension that
implies consideration of two main categories of context-specific factors: (1)
rules and constraints that are present in the political context, and (2)
motivations and goals of individuals and groups who act in the political
context. For example, research on how citizens form an impression of political
candidates takes into account the fact that in the political context, unlike
other contexts, knowledge of a target person is often not direct, but is
filtered by media.
It also considers that
motivations underlying the citizen’s perception of a political candidate may be
different from those underlying perception of a target person in other
contexts, and these differences may have an influence on perception accuracy or
on traits perceived as most relevant. The influence of the citizen’s
ideological orientation on candidate perception is also taken into account—a
variable that may not be as relevant in other contexts (see Section 2). These
are examples of how research in political psychology may identify a series of
factors that moderate or mediate effects already observed by basic
psychological research, in some cases also highlighting previously neglected
effects.
1.2 Historical Development
A short reference to the historical development of political psychology
may offer an idea of the main issues dealt with by the discipline so far, as
well as an idea of the psychological theories that have been most frequently
assumed as frames of reference. Four main stages may be identified.
