Constructivist, Critical, and Rhetorical Approaches
The growing number of constructivist and critical approaches
to political psychology can be seen as one of the most important theoretical developments in the recent history of the
discipline. These approaches offer a conceptual alternative to
the causal models characterizing a majority of studies in
political psychology (Tileaga, 2013). In a constructivist
perspective, political thought and behavior is contextualized
within the social and cultural environment.
This constructivist perspective can be exemplified with the
social representations approach that has recently entered
political psychology. This approach explores the processes by
which citizens come to a shared understanding of political
issues and how this shared understanding relates to their
possibilities for political action (Elcheroth et al., 2011).
Communicating knowledge creates communities of belief that
transform individual opinions into social representations, that
is, into knowledge shared and debated by members of the
group. Such shared knowledge (e.g., awareness of excessive
social inequalities) then becomes the basis for political action,
both individual (e.g., voting) and collective action (e.g., mass
demonstrations). In line with constructivist principles, social
representations do not just reflect social reality but they
constitute that social reality, and sometimes change the nature
of that reality. Hence, political thought and behavior is as to
large extent shaped by what people think others are thinking
(meta-representations). Given its focus on the social context that produces representations, a social representations approach highlights the role
of power relations in the communication and dissemination of
representations between individuals and between groups.
Political participation, for example, can be conceptualized as
assistant: Sure! Here's a simple, layman-friendly summary of **Constructivist, Critical, and Rhetorical Approaches** in political psychology:

These new ways of thinking about political psychology focus less on straightforward cause-and-effect and more on how people's thoughts and actions about politics are shaped by their social and cultural surroundings.

One important idea here is the "social representations" approach. This means that people don’t just have their own private political opinions—they share ideas with others in their community, creating common understandings about political issues. These shared ideas—a group’s collective beliefs—can then inspire people to act, whether by voting or joining protests.

Importantly, these shared beliefs don’t just describe the world; they actually help build and change social reality itself. What people think others are thinking (called "meta-representations") plays a big role in shaping political attitudes and behavior.

This approach also points out that power matters a lot—who controls the conversation and how ideas spread between groups influences what people believe and do politically.

So, political participation isn’t just about individual choices; it’s deeply connected to the social environment and the shared meanings people create together.

Group-Level Processes
International Conflict
Research on international relations and international conflict is
a traditionally important aspect of political psychology. Rooted
in a social psychological perspective, this strand of research
offers a complementary view on structural, strategic, and realist
analyses of international conflict. It assumes that subjective
perceptions of the conflict determine actions and responses by
the conflicting parties, that these perceptions develop in the
context of dynamic and changing intergroup relations, and that
ongoing interaction between conflicting parties determines the
development and outcome of the conflict (Fisher et al., 2013).
International conflict is thus a process driven by collective
needs and fears rather than by objective national interests, in
particular concerning identity, recognition, and autonomy of
ethnonational groups.

Racism and Politics
Negative attitudes toward groups – prejudice – is another
central group-level topic addressed by political psychologists.
This research has its roots in U.S. American race relations that
have shaped American political debate since the nineteenth
century. The current state of research on the role of prejudice in
politics can be traced back to the 1960s, a period during which
a number of crucial changes in American race relations have
occurred, most notably the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that outlawed any institutionalized discrimination based on racial
criteria. Up to this period, overt and blatant racism against
Blacks was largely seen as legitimate, but with the deep changes
of the racial relations following the civil rights era, beliefs about
biological inferiority of Blacks became more and more unacceptable. Instead, new, more subtle forms of racism emerged,

assistant: Sure! Here's a simple, layman-friendly summary of **Group-Level Processes: International Conflict and Racism in Politics**:

**International Conflict:**  
This research looks at how countries and groups interact during conflicts. Instead of just focusing on facts like resources or power, it emphasizes how the feelings, fears, and needs of groups—especially about their identity and independence—shape the conflict. How groups see each other and their situation influences what they do, and ongoing interactions between them affect how the conflict grows or gets resolved.

**Racism and Politics:**  
This area studies negative feelings or prejudices against different groups, especially based on race. In the U.S., these issues have a long history, with open racism against Black people accepted until important legal changes like the Civil Rights Act in 1964 banned racial discrimination. After that, while obvious racism became less acceptable, more hidden and subtle forms of racial bias started to appear. Political psychologists study how these subtle prejudices still influence political opinions and actions today.
