#AffectivePolarization, a growing concern in Western democracies, is often attributed to mutual hatred. Our new preprint, challenges this assumption and reveals a silver lining by uncovering the pivotal role of disappointment.[bit.ly/496UfHC]. More details in 🧵
When @sandra_penic , Noga @PICRLab and I started working on that project, we could not imagine how relevant it could be. Now, in times in which the clear norm is against intergroup empathy, and a strong social norm is in favor of intergroup hate, this paper becomes so important!

#מחקר עם תובנות מעניינות על הפסיכולוגיה של הקיטוב הפוליטי. סדרה של ניסויים ב🇺🇸וב🇮🇱 מראה שבלב הרגשות השליליים שעולים כאשר אנחנו חושבים על הצד הפוליטי ה״אחר״ לא עומדת *שנאה* (כפי שמקובל לחשוב) אלא *אכזבה*. אנחנו מאוכזבים אחד מהשני. האם יש מקום קטן לאופטימיות שאת זה אפשר לתקן?
