The Psychology of Politicians Zusammenfassung

The Psychology of Politicians Ashley Weinberg (University of Salford)

The Psychology of Politicians explores a topic which fuels public and media debate yet is under-researched and has potentially far-reaching consequences for the success of our political systems. Focusing on research with democratically elected representatives from the UK, Poland and Italy, and on the political behaviour of a former US President and voters' perceptions in the emerging democracy of Ukraine, this book is packed with psychological insights. Using quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the contributors chart the progress of the individual politician from selection as a candidate to becoming established in Parliament examining their qualities as communicators, thinkers and leaders. The impact of work and non-work pressures on their mental well-being and capacity to handle a crisis are probed and the roles of personality traits in politicians' values and in public perceptions of our elected representatives are highlighted.

The Psychology of Politicians Bewertungen

'This book is an outstanding example of psychology at its best, taking a new and novel topic, 'the psychology of politicians', collecting the science and making it readable to all. It explores the nature of their personality, their coping strategies and their cognitive styles. This is a must-read for any politician, political scientist, psychologist or anyone interested in politics.' Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Chair of the Academy of Social Sciences
'This book is a must for those who aspire to a political life. For those already legislating, pour yourself a stiff drink and start reading!' Peter Hennessy, Attlee Professor of Contemporary British History, Queen Mary, University of London
