POLITICAL PSYCHOLOGY AS A CONCEPTUAL TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING POLITICAL SUBJECT'S BEHAVIOR

This work is intended to analyze how it is possible to bring forward some considerations from political psychology (a conceptual tool seldom applied in Colombia) in order to establish the way political subjects are constructed from the happenings or junctures whereby the mass moves and performs its control processes. The mass is the fundamental object of the political analysis from this subdiscipline of social psychology. The article presents a review of the concept of political psychology in the first place. Afterward, the political subject is contextualized, and finally, the connection between the two concepts developed in the article is articulated.
