The Psychology of Voting and Election Campaigns

Duke University

October 20-21, 2006

You are invited to attend an interdisciplinary conference that will bring together outstanding social and judgment and decision-making 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 offers new avenues for developing basic psychological theory through the data collected via the American National Election Studies.

Sixteen scholars will present research that strengthens the intellectual bridge between the American National Elections Studies (ANES) and social and JDM psychology, and the conference participants will participate in a group discussion following each presentation.
