New #research from @daantjedb.bsky.social & Oriel FeldmanHall published in #JPSP suggests political extremity—not ideology—drives shared brain responses and heightened emotional reactions. Recognizing this overlap could help foster empathy across the political divide. www.apa.org/news/press/r...
Political polar opposites may be more alike than they think
Research published by APA finds that politically extreme liberals and conservatives process political information in strikingly similar ways, suggesting extremity—not ideology—drives shared brain responses.
