#13 2nd of 5 episodes of an extended conversation between Jerry Henderson & Glen White, as they discuss political polarization research, and how to reduce polarization, 6-29-22: OTOH Episode 13

In part two of their conversation, Jerry Henderson and Glen White discuss key understandings of political polarization from social sciences research and opinion leaders. In this second part of their conversation, we discuss several negative impacts of extreme political polarization, with reference to how current and long-standing psychological processes suggest mechanisms for how societal stress and behavior are impacted by the strong emotional discord that politics currently evokes in our society. Be sure to check out the other episodes on this topic as we cover other important considerations for our societal and governmental well-being when we allow extreme polarization to persist.  We hope this information will help you better appreciate why political beliefs are so hard to change, and what can help us do better at depolarizing our personal and national conversations.
