{"product_id":"the-pyschology-of-politicians-ashley-weinberg-9780521113724","title":"The Pyschology of Politicians","description":"The Psychology of Politicians explores a topic which fuels public and media debate yet is under-researched and has potentially far-reaching consequences for the success of our political systems. Focusing on research with democratically elected representatives from the UK, Poland and Italy, and on the political behaviour of a former US President and voters' perceptions in the emerging democracy of Ukraine, this book is packed with psychological insights. Using quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the contributors chart the progress of the individual politician from selection as a candidate to becoming established in Parliament examining their qualities as communicators, thinkers and leaders. The impact of work and non-work pressures on their mental well-being and capacity to handle a crisis are probed and the roles of personality traits in politicians' values and in public perceptions of our elected representatives are highlighted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashley Weinberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521113725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521113724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Ashley Weinberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425030815999,"sku":"9780521113724","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd21c755-48bd-4b57-beb0-29760630300e.jpg?v=1761536527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pyschology-of-politicians-ashley-weinberg-9780521113724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
