Come join us at the ISPP annual conference: "Beyond Borders and Boundaries: Perspectives from Political Psychology"

We invite you to participate in the ISPP Annual Meeting of 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and submit your newest research!

Confirmed keynote speakers are Jack Citrin (University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA), Eva. G. T. Green (University of Lausanne, Switzerland), Donald P. Haider-Markel (University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA), and Stephen C. Wright (Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada).

Keynotes and invited symposia will tackle urgent issues in political psychology, like LGTB representation, social inequality, populism and immigration. We hope to anchor discussions in current societal events by including symposia and roundtables featuring scholars at risk, internationalization, practitioners, and more. We aim at expanding the focus of the meeting over and above pure academic discussions to the exchange between scientists and practitioners.

Latest Publications
New Book: David G. Winter Roots of War: Wanting Power, Seeing Threat, Justifying Force.
In his latest book, David G. Winter identifies three psychological factors that contributed to the differences in the historical outcomes of conflicts: the desire for power, exaggerated perception of the opponent's threat, and justification for using military force. Several lines of research establish how these factors lead to escalation and war: comparative archival studies of "war" and "peace" crises, laboratory experiments on threat perception, and surveys of factors leading people to believe that a particular war is "just."
