This area of political psychology studies how political systems, whether authoritarian or democratic, affect the psychological processes and behavior of people. This includes the analysis of:
1) emotions associated with submission or disagreement;
2) motivation to participate or refuse to participate in political processes;
3) the ability to think critically about politics.
This analysis helps to understand the impact of the type of political governance on the fulfillment of social commitments, regime stability, and collective policy trends.
