Neuropolitics Lecture Series - The Hostility Habit: How Partisan Expectations Shape Political Conflict

Why do some partisans express hostility toward political opponents while others engage respectfully across party lines?

These findings illuminate how partisan hostility is sustained and how it might be reduced.
