Sinistra e destra. Le radici psicologiche della differenza politica

As compared to the past, today political behavior is less influenced by religion, social class, or geographical area. This opens up to the neccessity to find new explanations. The results of a large-scale survey based on face-to-face interviews are presneted in the volume. For the first time, political scientists, sociologists, and social psychologist have worked together to understand the psychological bases of the left-right ideological continuum. Are left-wing voters really different from right-wing voters? Is such difference rooted in a pre-political psychological dimension? what are the relations with emotions, identifications, prejudice, attitudes towards leaders, self efficacy? An in-depth analysis of the Italian political mind.
