Political engagement

Group identification and social connection can be found at the heart of many political movements, most recently in the Democratic and Republican divide in the United States.

Through analysing the social psychological principles behind collective political action, SIGN aims to understand the drivers behind  political movements across the world, including Chile, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the U.S.

See below SIGN's various political engagement research projects.
