Political Behavior
is an interdisciplinary journal publishing research pertaining to political
behavior, broadly defined to include attitudes and opinions, as well as actual
behavior. We invite work focused at either the individual or the institutional
level (political parties, interest groups, government agencies, or the mass
media), among elites as well as masses, and in a comparative as well as a U.S.
context. We encourage a variety of approaches to the study of political
behavior, including economic (e.g., preference structuring, bargaining),
psychological (e.g., attitude formation and change, motivation, and
perception), sociological (e.g., roles, groups, class), and political (e.g.,
decision making) perspectives. Contributors are requested to follow the
stylistic guidelines indicated below.
Manuscripts will be considered with the understanding that they are original,
have not been previously published, and, if accepted, they will be part of the
journal copyright filed by the publisher.
