Coalitions of the Motivated

September 15, 2014
  • Leave a comment

How can ten people watch the same speech and have ten different reactions? The speech isn’t different. They are. If you want to understand and anticipate their reactions, you have to see things from their perspectives.

Ideologies are the instinctual points of view that influence how we perceive and interpret political reality. But it’s a mistake to measure them as if they’re rationally formed and objectively defined — as if “liberalism” and “conservatism” are the products of careful reason and have fixed meanings. Ideologies are irrational and subjective because people are irrational and subjective — but they are still explainable, measurable, and predictable. Political psychology holds the key.

Coalitions of the Motivated is our new online lecture series on the psychology behind political ideology. Part One is free. Parts Two and Three can be viewed in The Briefing Room, our new members-only area at First Person Politics. You can access The Briefing Room for a one-time fee of just $12.95. And when new, exclusive content becomes available, you won’t be charged again. Click below to view Part One:

Click here to access Parts Two and Three.

Based on a webinar for the American Association of Political Consultants, these videos contain substantial new material useful to anyone interested in political strategy and analysis. Part One explores how politically-motivated reasoning really works. Part Two dives deep into the psychological origins and mechanics of ideology. Part Three lays out the applications using examples and case studies.

Whether you’re revisiting the material or encountering it for the first time, don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to learn how ideology really works!

    They offer a room service menu for pets or maybe even provide your pet their own bed!

    Ear piercings provide litter boxes, scratch poles, rawhide bone treats and even more for your
    loved one psychic readings pet. It is unavoidable flip on the radio now without hearing an advert advertising an additional form of
    vision modification. We’ve gone from glasses to
    bifocals, to trifocals, to no-line trifocals and now into LASIK surgery,
    PRK, RK, AK, AL, from the time on, and so forth and on!

    Online tarot Card Reading: Tarot card reading are accomplishing via phone,
    messages, onsite reading and mainly through online.
    People are benefited through online tarot reading. Many tarot reader have own websites supply the service
    of online reading. Is definitely one among the easiest methods to
    know about tarot tellings. It makes no difference though, as
    so many just to be able to do something on their computers to make money.

    Getting paid cash for typing can be fun too, because there are a often so many different topics to type about.

    Not difficult depends to the job although. Say for instance obtain a
    job where you will need to to type for cash and you might be posting in forums all over the web.
    Usually you will be paid dollar.05 to $1 for each mail. This will depend on how much time the post is, usually word wise,
    how much the person hiring you is prepared pay, in addition your expertise
    about them.

    The more fear the for the evil, tougher power you allow to the product.
    Most of the time you will not know for anyone under a psychic
    attack or not, but just as long as you generate substantially more positive energies, you will have a
    way to form a strong barrier against both negative influences and energies.
    The confusion arises at both these junctures.
