In a blog, @davidyoung-psych.bsky.social, @leede-wit.bsky.social, and I discuss why perceived dependencies are so important to political belief formation - and how they might fuel polarisation.
It points to a broader discussion on how to engage with people politically.

In a new paper in Cognition w. @davidyoung-psych.bsky.social and @leede-wit.bsky.social, we explore perceived dependencies as a possible cause for issue polarisation.
We show that this is possible experimentally where high dependency depresses updating.

Belief polarization can be caused by disagreements over source independence: Computational modelling, experimental evidence, and applicability to real-world politics
A large literature debates whether belief polarization, in both experiments and real-world political opinion data, is the result of biased forms of re…

First time on Blue Sky! Super happy this article is now out in an issue of Political Psychology! And honoured by the promo tweet with custom-made graphic! @leede-wit.bsky.social
New research by David Young and Lee de-Wit gives us a deeper look at polarization within political parties. Their findings suggest factional divides within a party can be as strong, and even stronger, than those between parties. Read more: https://doi.org/10.1111/pops.12973
