Description
Mass Media and Political Thought is a state-of-the-art collection of original research on the cognitive psychology of political communication. Political information processing is examined in several stages: (1) voters' ability to process political information; (2) voters' motivation to process such information; (3) the effects of political messages; and (4) the impact of these processes and effects on the polity.
