Summary

As in other areas of behavioural science, research in political psychology has focused on citizens of Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, and Democratic ('WEIRD') countries. In this chapter, we review recent studies of political psychology conducted in the Global South (e.g., Latin America, Africa, Middle East, and Asian/Pacific regions). Popular topics of inquiry in these regions include political participation, collective memory, intergroup relations, and ideology. There were also some context-specific themes, such as the role of political Islam in the Middle East. In reviewing the existing literature, we highlight patterns of convergence and divergence when it comes to conclusions about political psychology on the basis of research carried out in WEIRD and non-WEIRD countries.
