#15 4th of 5 episodes of an extended conversation between Jerry Henderson & Glen White, as they discuss political polarization research, and how to reduce polarization, 6-30-22: OTOH Episode 15

This fourth of five parts features the conversation between Jerry Henderson and Glen White as they continue their review of a number of key understandings of political polarization from social sciences research and opinion leaders. This episode discusses influences that contribute to polarization, evolutionary factors that have led humans to be susceptible to polarization (including parasite stress leading to development of social and group factors), and moral influences that relate to our political belief development. Check out the other episodes on this topic as we cover the many complications of dealing with political polarization, especially at the toxic level seen in today's society.  Learn why political beliefs are so hard to change, and then in our final episode, part 5, learn what can help us do better at depolarizing our personal and national conversations.
