PREVIEW
Emotions have always been considered an important element of
political communication. Recent research has demonstrated the
significance of emotions in individual information-processing and
political judgements. Used strategically, emotions thus become an
instrument for influencing people. Based on content analyses of
TV news and political talk shows in Germany, this book analyses
with which emotions television portrays politicians and which
techniques are used to trigger emotions in viewers. Using experiments,
it investigates how portraying emotional politicians can
affect political attitudes against the background of the theory of
emotional contagion.
NEW SERIES
The German party landscape is in flux. Party system party system
and parties are undergoing major change, which is reflected in the
relationship of the parties to society, their role in the state and their
and their inner life. The book deals with all three aspects from
theoretical and empirical perspectives, and takes into account the
development up to and including the Bundestag elections in 2021.

Emotionen in Politik und Gesellschaft
Edited by Prof. Dr. Simon Koschut and
Prof. Dr. Christian von Scheve
This series publishes studies that deal with the meaning of emotions
in political and social contexts. Emotions are a fundamental
part of the social sphere. As social phenomena, emotions affect
political dynamics and social structures. Conversely, they are an
expression of socio-political conditions and changes. The interdisciplinary
series of publications “Emotions in Politics and Society”
offers a forum for research into these matters. It publishes political
science, sociological and cultural studies monographs and anthologies
in both German and English.
