Confidence is a poor indicator of accuracy.
New paper in PSPB! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Well, actually, not "new". We first put this paper online way back Dec 2022... in any case, we think it's really cool!

I suspect the main contributing factor is enhanced polarization from identifying with politics.
You are more than the collection of ideas, claims and beliefs that you currently hold.
You are not a stereotype, and neither are 'they'.
