Political psychology’s interdisciplinarity persisted across three distinct research eras

Evidence

Interdisciplinary cross-fertilization, never above a modest level, has been as sustained between political science and psychology as between any two social sciences, which is surprising considering that each discipline has longer common borders with other fields—political science with history and economics, psychology with sociology and anthropology. The collaboration has persisted through three successive 20-year eras differing in preferred topics of study, theoretical explanations, and high-table approved methods. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 303
