Political Radicalization, Emotionality and Political Values [ political psychology international politics]

This project examines the psychological determinants of political radicalization in the context of the recent economic crisis. It explores whether there is a structure of attitudes and values that turns citizens towards political violence, or prevents them from supporting radical actors, on the right or left, when public morale is low and extreme politics are gaining ground. Here we are interested in identifying the ‘borders of radicalization, by mapping the circumstances under which citizens are more likely to resist radical ideologies and behaviors.
