🚨 New Pre-Print🚨
Very excited to share new work w/ Victoria Parker. Here we think about big questions regarding the limitations and barriers affective polarization interventions face in being translated from research to practice

Check out our new work with practitioners to find ways to foster empathy and reduce polarisation among American teenagers👇
After describing these challenges, we then call on researchers (and other stakeholders) to attempt to address some of these barriers and provide concrete examples for how we as a field can better connect our research to practice.
What happens when we tell each other stories? New research from myself, @kurtjgray.bsky.social, and practitioners at Narrative 4!

Check out our recent Character and Context piece explaining how reframing political ideas (including facts!) to be more self disclosing can bridge political divides.

We introduce a novel framework called the SCOPE Barriers Framework. This framework considers statistical, methodological, (inter)disciplinary, WEIRD sampling, practical, and ethical barriers that challenge scholars in assessing their interventions in the real world.
This piece is in reference to our recent publication: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
⚖️ New paper in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences!
Legal decisions hinge on who counts as a victim — but our judgments are biased & hard to change. We propose solutions: victim impact statements, funding restorative justice, & acknowledgments for exonerees.
Great review from @emilykubin.bsky.social and @vaparker.bsky.social on the challenges of researching what effectively reduces polarization - including knowing if and when reducing polarization should be something we want to do.
