"Explorations in Political Psychology provides a much-needed framework for organizing the multi-disciplinary, multi-method research that characterizes the field of political psychology. The authors have also assembled some of the best examples of that research. The volume is equally useful to the beginning student and the advanced researcher."—Gregory Markus, University of Michigan

"This book will be indispensable to any serious student of political psychology. The editors, themselves among the most prominent schoalrs in the field, have brought together a first-rate lineup of authors. Not only are the chapters comprehensive, but they offer [many] ideas for future research. More than anything else, this reader says that political psychology has a bright future."—James H. Kuklinski, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
