Explorations in Political Psychology
by Shanto Iyengar William J. McguireMapping the territory where political science and psychology intersect, Explorations in Political Psychology offers a broad overview of the the field of political psychology--from itshistorical evolution as an area of inquiry to the rich and eclectic array of theories, concepts, and methods that mark it as an emerging discipline. In introductory essays, editors Shanto Iyengar and William J. McGuire identify the points of exchange between the disciplines represented and discuss the issues that make up the subfields of political psychology. Bringing together leading scholars from social psychology and political science, the following sections discuss attitude research (the study of political attitudes and opinions); cognition and information-processing (the relationship between the structures of human information-processing and political and policy preferences); and decision making (how people make decisions about political preferences). As a comprehensive introduction to a growing field of interdisciplinary concern, Explorations in Political Psychology will prove a useful guide for historians, social psychologists, and political scientists with an interest in individual political behavior.Contributors.

Explorers
by Margaret Todddetermined what students should learn, but also has mandated that students demonstrate what they know. EXPLORERS is a content-rich, standards-based program addressing National History Thinking Standards, American History Content Standards, Social Studies Standards, Theater Standards, and English Language Arts Standards. The content and skills presented in this unit are the targets of most state frameworks for American history, map reading, and language arts. EXPLORERS provides many opportunities for performance assessment. In the first part of the simulation students demonstrate their understanding of the Native American civilization that existed before the arrival of European explorers. In the second part, students learn the reasons why the explorers came to the New World. They research individual explorers to learn which lands and resources they claimed for their European monarchs. In the final activity, students participate in reenactments of the encounters between Native Americans and explorers. Applied Learning Standards are addressed throughout.
