Political psychology is a thriving field of social scientific inquiry with roots in political science and psychology and connections to a range of other social sciences. Political psychologists attempt to understand the psychological underpinnings, roots, and consequences of political behavior. Some of this work attempts to understand political phenomena by applying theories developed through research done in psychological laboratories. Findings regarding mediation and moderation of real-world effects have often led to extensions and revisions of the inspiring psychological theories. Other political psychology involves the development of completely new theory to provide psychological accounts of political phenomena, thus contributing to basic understanding of how the mind works and of social interaction. In light of the vitality of the field and growing graduate student interest, the idea of establishing a summer training institute in political psychology was initially developed at a "futures conference" organized by Professor Margaret Hermann at Ohio State University (OSU) in 1988. That conference was sponsored by the International Society of Political Psychology and set out to develop a ten-year plan for the Society's future. The notion of a Summer Institute emerged as a centerpiece of the conference's proposals. With the support of the ISPP, the first Summer Institute in Political Psychology (SIPP) was taught at Ohio State University in 1991. That first year, 60 participants came to Columbus, Ohio, for intensive lectures, discussion groups, workshops, and information interactions. The participants were primarily graduate students, but they also included undergraduates, professors, and professionals from governments in the US and abroad. Students were drawn from political science, psychology, sociology, economics, history, and other fields. OSU offered SIPP every year from 1991 through 2003, and there was no decline in interest during these 13 years: 60 participants attended in 1991, and 58 participants attended in 2003. In total 658 participants have attended SIPP between 1991 and 2003. After 13 years of hosting SIPP, Ohio State University decided to end its run and pass it along to another university. During all of its years operating SIPP, Ohio State invested a substantial amount of money to cover cash expenses and also donated considerable faculty teaching time. The new budgeting system the university recently adopted has made such underwriting more difficult, as have departures of some faculty in political psychology. After a lengthy evaluation period, the International Society of Political Psychology has selected Stanford University as the new potential home of SIPP. Stanford is prepared to take on this responsibility if sufficient funding can be assembled, and this proposal seeks the remaining required funding to supplement sources of funds already in place. Broader Social Value: The SIPP would enhance the social science capabilities of the current attendees and would also contribute to better research and teaching for generations to come. At Stanford, SIPP would be a 3-week program designed to advance the research capabilities of graduate students from around the world studying political science, psychology, and other social sciences. The Summer Institute would aim to enrich the graduate training experiences of participants by offering a broad and intensified training experience to complement the classroom training that is usually available at graduate institutions. By bringing together a large set of faculty offering lectures on a diverse set of topics, SIPP seeks to expose graduate students to (1) a broad range of research literature in political psychology, (b) the research styles and approaches of an array of scholars working in political psychology, and (c) training in the varied set of research methods employed by political psychologists, as well as (d) creating inter-disciplinary networks among the participants to support their on-going research efforts and cement their long-term commitments to social science scholarship. Stanford is well-positioned to take over hosting SIPP, in light of its history and present. The university has a tradition of excellence and leadership in political psychology among its faculty, including Alexander George, Paul Sniderman, Shanto Iyengar, and Jon Krosnick. Krosnick was co-founder of SIPP at Ohio State and was co-director of it for most of its years there, so he has substantial experience with managing the enterprise. In addition, other Stanford faculty are known for distinguished research relevant to political psychology, including James Fishkin, Norman Nie, Richard Brody, Karen Cook, Lee Ross, Robert Zajonc, Albert Bandura, Doug McAdam, Susan Olzak, Deborah Gruenfeld, Dale Miller, Roderick Kramer, Jonathan Bendor, and others. And nearby universities. faculties include many scholars who would be terrific SIPP lecturers. One of the best ways to enhance research productivity in political psychology over the long term is to recruit and train talented, energetic, and motivated cohorts of scholars to join the field. Because of the importance of political psychology's contributions to political science throughout its history, an investment in feeding this pipeline for the future seems well worthwhile. SIPP offers an opportunity to do so, and Stanford's generous matching funds can make this possible with a relatively modest grant from NSF.

政治心理学是社会科学研究的一个蓬勃发展的领域，它植根于政治科学和心理学，并与一系列其他社会科学联系在一起。政治心理学家试图理解政治行为的心理基础、根源和后果。 其中一些工作试图通过应用在心理学实验室进行的研究中发展出来的理论来理解政治现象。 关于现实世界影响的中介和适度的研究结果往往导致对鼓舞人心的心理学理论的扩展和修订。 其他的政治心理学则发展了全新的理论，为政治现象提供心理学解释，从而有助于对心灵如何运作和社会互动的基本理解。 鉴于该领域的活力和研究生兴趣的增长，建立政治心理学暑期培训学院的想法最初是在1988年由俄亥俄州州立大学（OSU）的Margaret Hermann教授组织的“未来会议”上提出的。 这次会议由国际政治心理学学会主办，并着手为该学会的未来制定一项十年计划。 暑期研究所的概念成为会议提案的核心。 在ISPP的支持下，第一个政治心理学暑期研究所（SIPP）于1991年在俄亥俄州州立大学授课。 第一年，60名参与者来到俄亥俄州的哥伦布，参加密集的讲座、讨论小组、研讨会和信息互动。 参与者主要是研究生，但也包括来自美国和国外政府的本科生、教授和专业人士。 学生来自政治学、心理学、社会学、经济学、历史学和其他领域。 从1991年到2003年，俄勒冈州立大学每年都提供SIPP，在这13年中，兴趣没有下降：1991年有60名参与者参加，2003年有58名参与者参加。 1991年至2003年期间，共有658名学员参加了社会保护研究所。 在举办了13年的SIPP之后，俄亥俄州州立大学决定结束它的运行，并将其沿着给另一所大学。 在经营SIPP的所有岁月里，俄亥俄州州立大学投入了大量资金来支付现金费用，并捐赠了相当多的教师教学时间。 这所大学最近采用的新预算制度使这种担保变得更加困难，一些政治心理学教师的离职也是如此。 经过漫长的评估期，国际政治心理学学会选择斯坦福大学作为SIPP的新的潜在家园。 如果能够筹集到足够的资金，斯坦福大学准备承担这一责任，本提案寻求剩余的所需资金，以补充已经到位的资金来源。更广泛的社会价值： SIPP将提高当前与会者的社会科学能力，也将有助于更好的研究和未来几代人的教学。 在斯坦福大学，SIPP将是一个为期3周的项目，旨在提高来自世界各地学习政治学、心理学和其他社会科学的研究生的研究能力。 暑期研究所旨在丰富学员的研究生培训经验，提供广泛和强化的培训经验，以补充研究生机构通常提供的课堂培训。 通过汇集一大批教师提供关于不同主题的讲座，SIPP旨在使研究生接触（1）广泛的政治心理学研究文献，（B）研究风格和一系列从事政治心理学研究的学者的方法，以及（c）培训政治心理学家采用的各种研究方法，以及（d）在参与者之间建立跨学科网络，以支持他们正在进行的研究工作，并巩固他们对社会科学奖学金的长期承诺。 鉴于SIPP的历史和现状，斯坦福大学有能力接管SIPP。 这所大学在政治心理学方面有着卓越的传统和领导地位，包括亚历山大乔治，保罗·斯奈德曼，尚托·艾扬格和乔恩·克罗斯尼克。 Krosnick是俄亥俄州SIPP的联合创始人，在那里的大部分时间里都是该公司的联合董事，因此他在管理该公司方面拥有丰富的经验。 此外，斯坦福大学的其他教师也因其在政治心理学方面的杰出研究而闻名，包括詹姆斯·菲什金、诺曼·聂、理查德·布罗迪、凯伦·库克、李·罗斯、罗伯特·扎荣茨、阿尔伯特·班杜拉、道格·麦克亚当、苏珊·奥尔扎克、黛博拉·格伦菲尔德、戴尔·米勒、罗德里克·克雷默、乔纳森·本铎等。 以及附近的大学。学院包括许多学者谁将是了不起的SIPP讲师。 从长远来看，提高政治心理学研究生产力的最佳途径之一是招募和培养有才华、有活力、有动力的学者加入这一领域。 由于政治心理学在其历史上对政治科学的重要贡献，为未来提供这条管道的投资似乎是值得的。 SIPP提供了一个这样做的机会，而斯坦福大学慷慨的配套资金可以使这一点成为可能，而NSF的拨款相对较少。
