53. Christopher Federico, The Psychology of Political Behavior
Christopher Federico is a political psychologist with joint appointments in psychology and political science at the University of Minnesota. We talk about a new paper in which he and Ari Malka argue that people do not simply become liberal or conservative based on the strength of their psychological needs for security and certainty. Factors like political engagement, national history, and the influence of political journalists, writers, and academics play a role as well.
