| Sumario: | This chapter reviews research at the intersection of psychology and political science that studies how people form political beliefs. We discuss the degree to which people's motivations shape the beliefs that they form, paying particular attention to the extent to which people's political beliefs are generated through reflection. Both individual differences and situational factors affect the extent to which people are reflective in political domains. As always, more questions remain than researchers have answered, and we conclude with some thoughts about the most pressing ones that future research should tackle. |
