Ryder in chapter two of his book says that if we consider parity then it is no longer enough to talk about two spinors and so he introduces 4 spinors. Is there some postulate of Quantum physics that has to do with state trasformation under parity??

Srednicki's book (available free online, google to find it) goes into great detail on the properties of two- and four-component spinors, including parity transformations.
