David O. Sears Book Award
The David O. Sears Book Award is given for the best book published in the field of the political psychology of mass politics, including political behavior, political values, political identities, and political movements, during the previous calendar year. Befitting the far-reaching contributions to scholarship of David Sears, the award winning work should be one that demonstrates the highest quality of thought and makes a major substantive contribution to the field of political psychology.
The award winner will be determined by an international and interdisciplinary committee. As judged by the award committee, the book should increase substantially our understanding of an issue (or issues) that is central to the concerns of mass politics and the world in which we live.
This is the second year the award will be given, so we encourage you to make nominations. Self-nominations are also welcome.
The award recipient(s) will be strongly encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting and Awards Reception. Send nominations via post or e-mail to the award committee chair.
