Description

In this seminar, we will discuss the psychology of public opinion, voting, leadership, and media coverage of elections. Examples of pertinent questions include:

Do citizens vote in self-interested ways?
Or are other, more symbolic aspects more important?
To what extent do environmental characteristics influence one’s political behavior?
And does a candidate’s race or gender matter?

In seeking answers to such questions, we will rely upon scholarship in psychology, political science, sociology, history, and geography. Students will approach these issues via readings, class discussion, and written assignments. Students will also gain basic experience with social scientific empirical methods as a result of collaborating in an original survey data collection project.

Course Requirements:

Students will be evaluated on semi-weekly response papers (2 pages each), a research project and write-up, and participation.

Intended Audience:

No data submitted
