'The depth and range of Milton Lodge's contributions to political psychology are highlighted by the distinction of the authors contributing to this volume. Its broad focus encompasses motivated reasoning, transfer of affect, and the problem of wobbly citizen civic expertise, among other topics.' —David O. Sears, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Political Science, UCLA'This is an important book. It demonstrates the powerful and far reaching influence that Milton Lodge has had on the development of political psychology. Not only has his personal research had a singular influence on the field but his example has demonstrated how political psychologists should conduct their work to meet the highest academic and scholarly standards.' —Edward G. Carmines, Distinguished Professor, Warner O. Chapman Professor of Political Science, and Rudy Professor, Indiana University 'This is a book to prize. It is above all a book of ideas—most centrally, the ideas of the preeminent researcher in the field, Milton Lodge, but additionally, as a bonus, the ideas of many who have had the good fortune of learning from him by working alongside him.' —Paul M. Sniderman, Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. Professor of Public Policy, Stanford University
