We are delighted to announce that Aleksandra Cichocka gave her inaugural lecture as a professor, titled Making the Personal Political.
‘In order to make informed political decisions, it is important to understand the psychological factors that influence political convictions and behaviours. This talk will examine how political attitudes are linked to various forms of self-evaluation and the ways people feel about the social groups to which they belong. It will cover survey, experimental and computational research, exploring especially the role of individual and collective narcissism in politics.’
