Politics & Psychology Research Laboratory

We are the team of the Laboratory of Political Psychological Research: students and professors of the Higher School of Economics who are engaged in psychology, sociology and political science. We study factors that influence individuals' attitudes towards the political system, political self-efficacy and, as a consequence, political participation. We are open to collaboration with other researchers who are interested in this topic!
