Political Behavior

by Steven A Peterson

Published 24 April 1990
`Everyday life' has a more profound effect on our political behaviour than we may at first think. Peterson explores how certain personal variables can affect political behaviour: stress, health, anxiety about death and sexual abuse and then goes on to place these in the wider but just as influential context of family, religion, employment and the media. This is an important study for anyone interested in political science, psychology and sociology.
