First, it documents how personality influences individuals when connecting abstract concepts like\u003ci\u003e liberal \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003econservative \u003c\/i\u003eto specific public policy preferences. Second, it demonstrates how understanding basic political facts is often conditional on these traits. Third, it tests the role that personality plays in citizens’ capacity to fulfill the basic demands that democratic governance places on them, such as connecting their own policy preferences to the correct political party. Fourth, it reveals how personality traits can blind people to the role government plays in their lives, while simultaneously causing them to vilify more visible beneficiaries of government programs. Ultimately, thisbook will engage both scholars and civic-minded individuals interested in understanding the hidden factors driving political behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319851945\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-53603-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 203\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266661077132,"sku":"9783319851945","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319851945.jpg?v=1770827693","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319851945","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
