You are invited to a conference on:
The Psychology of Voting and Election Campaigns
at Duke University, October 20 and 21, 2006
This exciting interdisciplinary conference will bring together outstanding psychologists with political scientists to address the psychology of elections. Elections transform power relationships and the lives of everyday citizens, but at its core, voting is a psychological act. Understanding why Americans vote as they do illuminates fundamental aspects of human decision-making and social relations. In this spirit, the conference will identify new avenues for developing basic psychological theory through data collected by the American National Election Study surveys between 2007 and 2009. Sixteen scholars will present research that strengthens the critical intellectual bridge between psychology and the investigation of contemporary American politics.
Each presentation will be followed by an extensive discussion among all conference participants of the issues raised during the presentation.
Breakfast will be provided to conference attendees, and a nearby hotel will be available for anyone wishing to attend and stay overnight.
The speakers will include:
Susan M. Andersen, Department of Psychology, New York University
Tanya Chartrand, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University
Geoffrey Cohen, Department of Psychology, University of Colorado
