Political psychology is a thriving field of inquiry with roots in political science 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 and enhancing 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 political and 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 in the important context of politics. 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 developed. The Summer Institute in Political Psychology (SIPP) is 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 has aimed to enrich the graduate training of participants by offering a broad and intensified complement to 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 exposed 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. 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. SIPP does just this and thus enhances the vitality of political psychology's contributions to social science literatures.

政治心理学是一个蓬勃发展的研究领域，它植根于政治科学，并与一系列其他社会科学相联系。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和加强通过心理实验室的研究发展起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政治和心理理论的扩展和修订。 其他政治心理学涉及发展全新的理论，为政治现象提供心理学解释，从而有助于对思想如何在政治的重要背景下工作的基本理解。 鉴于该领域的活力和研究生兴趣的增长，提出了建立政治心理学暑期培训学院的想法。 政治心理学暑期研究所（SIPP）是一个为期3周的课程，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参与者的研究生培训，为研究生机构通常提供的课堂培训提供广泛和强化的补充。 通过汇集一大批教师提供关于不同主题的讲座，SIPP使研究生接触到（1）广泛的政治心理学研究文献，（B）一系列从事政治心理学研究的学者的研究风格和方法，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。 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。 SIPP正是这样做的，从而增强了政治心理学对社会科学文献贡献的生命力。
