MHP Module-4: MHP480 Social Psychology and Politics (5 ECTS)

Why are social psychologists interested in politics, and how can they help us understand things like social movements, protest and activism? This module, social psychology and politics, moves away from a state-centric study of politics and, using insights from social psychology, explores the role of identity, personality and culture for political action. The course introduces a critical perspective considering how psychologists themselves can be activists and interrogating the norms of ‘good citizenship’ in Western societies.

Course Objective

In this module, social psychology and politics, you will look at some of the ways in which social psychologists have engaged with the politics. Theories of individual differences highlight the ways in which political behaviours, attitudes and beliefs relate to differences in individual psychologies, such as activism orientation. Social identity approaches, on the other hand, look at the ways in which behaviour relates to the groups that people belong to, and highlight the importance of these shared social identities for understanding collective action. Finally, social constructionist approaches focus on the sociocultural context and critically interrogate the ways in which political concepts, like ‘good’ citizenship, are constructed. This work as a whole highlight the ways in which social psychological concepts are vital in helping to understand how and why people engage in political processes and structures. In addition, it highlights the ways in which social psychology can itself be political: by taking an explicitly political stance on what the social world should look like.
