Political Psychology is an interdisciplinary field and explores topics that lie at the intersection between politics and psychology.

Some of these theories are concerned with elite behavior in politics; others try to explain mass political behavior. The topics include: political communication and media, social identity, authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, formation of belief systems and political attitudes, decision making and information processing, political leadership, inter-group conflict and cooperation, and collective violence and terrorism.
