Abstract
Abstract This chapter presents Kristen Renwick Monroe’s contributions to political psychology and marks her move from rational choice theory to a narrative-interpretive approach centered on identity and moral choice. Monroe investigates how individuals’ perceptions of themselves in relation to others shape their capacity for altruism, moral courage, and ethical action, particularly through interviews with Holocaust rescuers, bystanders, and perpetrators. Her trilogy on moral choice and current research on political trauma and wartime survival illustrate how identity constrains cognitive and moral possibilities. Drawing from diverse disciplines, Monroe develops a theory of ethical perspective grounded in narrative data, challenging dominant rationalist paradigms. Finally, the chapter urges political psychology to embrace qualitative methods, emotional honesty, and interdisciplinary inquiry while reaffirming the power of stories and identity in shaping both ethical behavior and scholarly understanding.
