Advances in Political Psychology

The yearly publication of the International Society of Political Psychology

Given the continued growth and explosion of information and interest in political psychology, there is an increasing need for a place where cumulative research findings and theoretical developments are synthesized and integrated in a form accessible to the scholar, student, and practitioner.

The Advances in Political Psychology annual series is intended to fill this need by recording the state of the field and highlighting innovative developments so that those who are interested can keep abreast of what is happening in political psychology. Each annual volume will include a selection articles that capture the diversity of subject matter studied by political psychologists.

You can read Advances in Political Psychology by clicking on the link and going to the Wiley Online Library (WOL) site. Current ISPP members can log in on that site with their WOL credentials and read all content in Advances in Political Psychology free of charge.
