▋内容简介
本书深入洞察了人类经验复杂性的核心话题“偏见与歧视”，是哈佛大学心理学家、当代社会心理学奠基人之一、人格心理学之父戈登•奥尔波特里程碑式的著作。
在本书出版之前，心理学界普遍认为“偏见”只是个别的，品德有缺陷的个体所持有的恶劣信念，只要大多数善良的好公民与这些“害群之马”划清界限，就可以把偏见的影响降到最低。而奥尔波特以雄辩的论述和大量来自实证研究的数据证明了，偏见要比人们想象得普遍很多；它是人类认知结构和社会组织形态的必然产物，而想要解决偏见造成的问题，就需要探究和改变其深层根源。
奥尔波特全面而深刻的研究揭示了“偏见”这一由来已久的问题的方方面面：它在个人身上的根源是什么，社会心理学层面的根源又在哪里；它的表现形式都有哪些；它对个体和群体又有着哪些影响，等等。奥尔波特探究了偏见与不同社会环境和社会变量之间关系的类型，并进一步提出了关于如何减少歧视和偏见所带来的不良影响的建议。
自1954年在美国首次出版以来，《偏见的本质》就一直是这个领域奠基性的权威著作，即使是数十年后的今天，虽然关于偏见的细化研究比起当时已经有了极大的进步，但奥尔波特这本经典著作仍然不减其魅力，始终是所有社会心理学研究者的案头必读之书。

This collection recalibrates the study of political psychology through detailed and much needed analysis of the discipline's most important and hotly contested issues. It advances our understanding of the psychological mechanisms that drive political phenomena while showcasing a range of approaches in the study of these phenomena.

Over the last decade the increasing phenomenon of suicide terrorism has raised questions about how it might be rational for individuals to engage in such acts. This book examines a range of different forms of political self-sacrifice, including hunger strikes, self-burning and non-violent martyrdom, all of which have taken place in resistance to foreign interference. Karin Fierke sets out to study the strategic and emotional dynamics that arise from the image of the suffering body, including political contestation surrounding the identification of the victim as a terrorist or martyr, the meaning of the death as suicide or martyrdom and the extent to which this contributes to the reconstruction of community identity. Political Self-Sacrifice offers a counterpoint to rationalist accounts of international terrorism in terrorist and security studies, and is a novel contribution to the growing literature on the role of emotion and trauma in international politics.

Political psychology applies what is known about human psychology to the study of politics. It examines how, for example, people reach political decisions on topics such as voting, party identification, and political attitudes as well as how leaders mediate political conflicts and make foreign policy decisions. The Oxford Handbook of Political Psychology gathers together a distinguished group of scholars from around the world to shed light on such questions as: how does personality affect leadership style? What are the origins of racial prejudice? How does violent communal conflict originate? Focusing first on political psychology at the individual level (attitudes, values, decision-making, ideology, personality) and then moving to the collective (group identity, mass mobilization, political violence), this fully interdisciplinary volume covers models of the mass public and political elites and addresses both domestic issues and foreign policy. Providing an up-to-date account of cutting-edge research within both psychology and political science, this is an essential reference for scholars and students interested in the intersection of the two fields.

How envy, spite, and the pursuit of admiration influence politics
Why do governments underspend on policies that would make their constituents better off? Why do people participate in contentious politics when they could reap benefits if they were to abstain? In Envy in Politics, Gwyneth McClendon contends that if we want to understand these and other forms of puzzling political behavior, we should pay attention to envy, spite, and the pursuit of admiration--all manifestations of our desire to maintain or enhance our status within groups. Drawing together insights from political philosophy, behavioral economics, psychology, and anthropology, McClendon explores how and under what conditions status motivations influence politics.
Through surveys, case studies, interviews, and an experiment, McClendon argues that when concerns about in-group status are unmanaged by social conventions or are explicitly primed by elites, status motivations can become drivers of public opinion and political participation. McClendon focuses on the United States and South Africa―two countries that provide tough tests for her arguments while also demonstrating that the arguments apply in different contexts.
From debates over redistribution to the mobilization of collective action, Envy in Politics presents the first theoretical and empirical investigation of the connection between status motivations and political behavior.
