Information - Perception - Emotion

With the rise of political psychology, political information and its processing have become the focus of interest in electoral and attitude research: What does the information environment look like in modern democracies that people are confronted with? What information do people perceive from the available offerings, and how do they process it? What role do emotions play in this? How do information and emotions shape citizens' political attitudes? What behavioral consequences accompany this? This volume includes - in addition to a compact overview of the state of research - empirical studies that address these questions in detail.
