Government [205] - Political Psychology

Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

Political psychology is the intersection of motivation and politics, how we explain collective behavior. Concentrates on the origins of collective violence, addressing the psychology of belief, ideology and organizations in human aggression and war. Because political psychology deals with nuanced and often visceral concepts such as values, culture and hatred, the course includes a weekly film series in addition to texts. The first session each week will revolve around assigned readings; the second session will synthesize these ideas with a film shown the previous night. Prerequisite, 112 or 116.
