Sean Richey Books

Focusing on the impact of social networking, this book explores how it shapes political engagement and citizen behavior. Sean Richey conducts an empirical analysis of social cognition, examining its role in influencing voter mobilization, social movements, and overall citizen competence. By investigating these dynamics, the work addresses critical political questions and highlights the intricate relationship between social networks and democratic participation.

Using original qualitative, survey and experimental studies, Sean Richey and Benjamin Taylor demonstrate the causes of political advocacy over time in the political environment and at the individual level.

Social networking lies at the heart of a number of fascinating political questions and social concerns, including citizen competence, social movements, and voter mobilization. In The Social Basis of the Rational Citizen, Sean Richey provides an empirical analysis of the most important hypothesized effect of social network influence on politics: social cognition.
