Abstract

Academics have known for some time that emotions play a significant role in politics, but recent studies have sought to more fully include affect into models of political activity. Many of the problems that political scientists have been trying to solve for decades may now have their missing component revealed: human emotions. Democracy, at its core, presents a problem of communal action. Involvement in politics may be beneficial for society as a whole, but the additional rewards per individual citizen might occasionally outweigh the costs. However, there are occasions when people appear to break out of cold individual value assessment and become involved in politics because of how they feel about an issue. In spite of this, emotions may also skew information processing; so, scholars should keep this in mind as we advance our understanding of the role of emotion in politics.
