Dags för en ny krönika i @dagensarena.bsky.social. Temat är vandelsutredningen och var den hör hemma, men också den större frågan om att inget parti – med visst undantag för SD – är tydligt med vilken målbild de egentligen har för sin politik.

This is figure 1, which shows weighted means for trust in scientists across countries and regions (1 = very low, 3 = neither high nor low, 5 = very high).

Today is the first day @lizsuhay.bsky.social & @mjbsp.bsky.social are co-EiC 🥳 Read the vision statement! 💲 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🆓 osf.io/nybxm Submit your papers! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

Screenshot of first two paragraphs of the editorial "Building community and advancing transparency in Political Psychology's next chapter" (Authors are Liz Suhay and Mark Brandt). The first two paragraphs read, It is impossible to understand politics and governance without understanding human psychology. Few reading this will likely argue with that statement, and the tumultuous and often surprising political events of our contemporary era make this clearer. It is also true that we cannot understand many aspects of human psychology without understanding people's political motivations and affiliations as well as the contexts and institutions that inform and constrain them. Political Psychology is dedicated to fostering cross-disciplinary research with the goal of shedding light on both the study of politics and of psychology.

Although interdisciplinary research is increasingly common, Political Psychology has long been unique in its commitment to serving research communities in two disciplines in equal measure. The two of us reflect this commitment, not only intellectually but also with respect to our home disciplines. One of us (Brandt) is a professor of psychology. The other (Suhay) is a professor of political science. Likewise, our team of Associate Editors and the Editorial Board are balanced between these two fields. During our term, we will foster greater engagement between political scientists and psychologists.
