Associação Brasileira de Psicologia Política

The Journal of Political Psychology is a continuously published journal linked to the Brazilian Association of Political Psychology (ABPP). The journal is a publication aimed at the interdisciplinary field of Political Psychology. It is, therefore, a journal of studies on issues in the field of Political Psychology that focuses on reflection on political behavior in contemporary societies. The point of intersection between these two scientific areas – Psychology and Politics – has been the concern with constructing a universe of debate in which neither objective nor subjective conditions are absent; on the contrary, they are being understood, by different theoretical approaches, as co -determinants , and therefore constituents of collective behaviors, discourses, social actions, and representations that constitute political antagonisms in the social field. The journal is concerned with the development of this interdisciplinary field of reflection and investigative practice, in which the main debates have been gathered around issues such as social prejudice, different forms of racism, xenophobia, collective actions and social movements, collective and social violence, political socialization, electoral behavior, power relations, democratic values and authoritarianism, fascism, aesthetics and politics, social participation and public policies, as well as studies on public opinion and mass media. Studies on discourse and ideology analysis, symbolic universes, and institutional practices are also included in these concerns. Issues related to theoretical and methodological debates in this field are welcomed by this editorial board, which is concerned with scientifically debating the deepening of the themes constituting the interface between political and psychological aspects.
