Human Behavior and Public Policy: A Political Psychology examines
knowledge about human behavior and its application to public policy
analysis. It shows that the findings of psychological research provide
information on how to better understand social problems and formulate
and implement policies for the solution of such problems. Organized
into nine chapters, the book first discusses how psychology can be
used to shape society into a better home and then presents three
models for political psychology. The next chapters deal with
intellectual capacities, educability, and prejudice and discrimination
in different groups of people. The book also explores violence and
intergroup conflict resolutions and concludes with a proposal for a
research design that serves as an example of political-psychological
planning. Academic psychologists who teach interdisciplinary social
sciences and courses concerned with public affairs will find this book
invaluable.
