Description
This updated revision sheds new light on the potential sociological and biological differences that result in deep, seemingly unbridgeable political divisions. Renowned social scientists John R. Hibbing, Kevin B. Smith, and John R. Alford present overwhelming evidence that political opinion is shaped by diverse psychological, physiological, and genetic traits.
The book explores specific brands of liberalism and conservatism, including those who support certain politicians, and invites readers to reconsider their perspectives on public opinion and partisan conflict. A valuable resource for students and scholars of political psychology and party politics, this book offers a fresh understanding of the complex factors that influence political differences.
