ABSTRACT

This essay highlights the potential analytical leverage from the import of recent approaches in social and political psychology into the study of politics in Russia. The core argument is that social psychology offers suitable conceptual and analytical tools to explore the political phenomena that have come to the forefront of social and political processes in Russia over the past decade. Social psychology is best at dealing with collective emotions and allows for integrating into the political analysis such affective issues as resentment, national humiliation, and collective victimhood. It also enables the appreciation and exploration of the phenomenon of political leadership from a collective perspective.

摘要

本文强调了将社会和政治心理学的最新方法引入俄罗斯政治研究的潜在分析杠杆作用。核心论点是，社会心理学提供了合适的概念和分析工具来探索在过去十年中已成为俄罗斯社会和政治进程前沿的政治现象。社会心理学最擅长处理集体情绪，并允许将怨恨、国耻和集体受害等情感问题纳入政治分析。它还可以从集体的角度欣赏和探索政治领导现象。
