Unpacking Political Beliefs: A Psychological Perspective with Chadly Stern
If liberals are systematically underestimating how much support they have for their opinions, they're not going to be able to capitalize on the sense of Solidarity that's actually out there in order to mobilize their ranks.
Why do we believe what we believe politically? This episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio' brings together Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo and Chadly Stern, a doctoral student at NYU, to explore the fascinating psychology behind political ideologies. Chadly's research dives into how our goals, motivations, and expectations shape our perceptions and interactions with others, especially through the lens of political beliefs.
From understanding how liberals and conservatives view support for their opinions differently to the role of cognitive energy in forming political attitudes, this conversation is a deep dive into the mental mechanics of politics. The duo also discusses how our environment influences political attitudes and the stereotypes that arise from these beliefs.
