A new article in The Conversation cites research by Prof. @ylelkes.bsky.social and alum Nicholas Dias (Ph.D. '25) on the relationship between affective polarization and citizens’ disagreements over policy:
“Belief polarization” is driving the shutdown more than political disagreement, according to a philosopher. Like-minded people become more extreme versions of themselves, not because of evidence, but because they want to fit in with their peers. buff.ly/x6p1lcq
Blame the shutdown on citizens who prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good
Politicians get blamed for government shutdowns. But does the fault lie also with citizens, who are more invested in punishing partisan rivals than in demanding competent government?

💥New preprint!💥
For democracy to be truly representative we need to include many more voices. But young voters (18-25yo) face unique barriers and are often overlooked.
We describe these barriers, and propose a psychologically-informed approach to support and increase voter turnout among youth.
