22nd Sydney Symposium of Social Psychology
27-31 July, 2020, Visegrad, Hungary
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF POPULISM
Convened by
Joseph P. Forgas, Bill Crano and Klaus Fiedler
The conference seeks to bring together researchers who are
interested in understanding what social psychology can contribute to
our understanding of the recent rise of populist political movements
in a number of countries. We hope to invite researchers working in
any area of social psychology that can contribute to our
understanding political behavior.
We believe that most substantive areas of social psychology are
highly relevant to understanding the psychological processes
underlying populism, including research on attitudes and values,
evolutionary influences, social cognition, social influence, social
identity, social motivation, political psychology, etc. As always
the topic is broadly defined and we are interested in contributions
from a wide variety of empirical and theoretical backgrounds that
can contribute to our understanding of the role of social
psychological processes in the spread of populism.
