Abstract Since the early 1990s, increasing political polarisation is among greatest determinants of individual-level environmental and climate change attitudes in United States. But several patterns remain unclear: are historical largely symmetrical (equal) or rather asymmetrical (where one set partisans shifts more than others)? How have changed over time? generalizable polarization across different attitudes? We harmonised four unique sets historical, pooled cross-sectional survey data from past 50 years to investigate seven distinct measures citizen attitudes. find that contemporary polarised symmetrically, with Democrats (higher) Republicans (lower) equidistant median. trends differ by beliefs. In particular, we evidence two asymmetric within attitudes: first, becoming less pro-environmental, beginning second, a recent greening Democratic since mid-2010s. Notably, increases pro-environmental potentially optimistic finding, providing opportunities towards overcoming decades-long inertia action. These findings provide foundation for further research avenues into factors shaping increased Democrats.

A series of aggressive restrictive measures were adopted around the world in 2020–2022 to attempt prevent SARS-CoV-2 from spreading. However, it has become increasingly clear most (lockdown) response strategies may involve negative side-effects such as a steep increase poverty, hunger, and inequalities. Several economic, educational, health repercussions have fallen disproportionately on children, students, young workers, especially groups with pre-existing inequalities low-income families, ethnic minorities, women. This led vicious cycle rising issues. For example, educational financial security decreased along unemployment loss life purpose. Domestic violence surged due dysfunctional families being forced spend more time each other. In current narrative scoping review, we describe macro-dynamics that are taking place because public policies psychological tactics influence behavior, mass formation crowd behavior. Coupled effect inequalities, how these factors can interact toward aggravating ripple effects. light evidence regarding health, economic social costs, likely far outweigh potential benefits, authors suggest that, first, where applicable, lockdown should be reversed their re-adoption future avoided. If needed, non-disruptive. Second, is important assess dispassionately damage done by offer ways alleviate burden long-term Third, structures counterproductive assessed sought optimize decision-making, counteracting groupthink increasing level reflexivity. Finally, package scalable positive psychology interventions suggested counteract improve humanity's prospects.

A consensus gap exists between scientific and public opinion on the existence causes of anthropogenic climate change (ACC). Public ACC is influenced by individual trust in science use different media sources. We used systematic review applied meta-analysis to examine how new versus traditional, centralized user-generated are related ACC. compiled two data sets: (n = 13, k 18) 12, 68). Our results showed a positive relationship levels trust, use, beliefs line with (i.e. pro-social beliefs), being moderated nationality. Additionally, effect size for using or sources was twice as large traditional

Recent academic debate has seen the emergence of claim that misinformation is not a significant problem. We believe arguments used to support this minimizing position are flawed, particularly if interpreted (e.g., by policymakers or public) as suggesting can be safely ignored. Here, we rebut two main claims, namely substantive concern (1) due its low incidence and (2) because it no causal influence on notable political behavioral outcomes. Through critical review current literature, demonstrate prevalence non-negligible reasonably inclusive definitions applied impacts important beliefs behaviors. Both scholars should therefore continue take seriously.

Just like an army of ants caught in ant mill, individuals, groups and even whole societies are sometimes up a Death Spiral, vicious cycle self-reinforcing dysfunctional behavior characterized by continuous flawed decision making, myopic single-minded focus on one (set of) solution(s), denial, distrust, micromanagement, dogmatic thinking learned helplessness. We propose the term Spiral Effect to describe this difficult-to-break downward spiral societal decline. Specifically, current theory-building review we aim to: (a) more clearly define Effect; (b) model decline as well upward spiral; (c) how why society at large might be Spiral; (d) offer positive way forward terms evidence-based solutions escape Effect. Management theory hints occurrence phenomenon offers turn-around leadership solution. On level strengthening democracy may important. Prior research indicates that historically, two key factors trigger type decline: rising inequalities creating upper layer elites lower masses; dwindling (access to) resources . Historical markers steep increase inequalities, government overreach, over-integration (interdependencies networks) rapidly decreasing trust institutions resulting collapse legitimacy. Important issues shed light behavioral underpinnings decline, question if can reversed. explore extension these theories from company/organization level, make use insights both micro-, meso-, macro-level (e.g., Complex Adaptive Systems collapsology, study risks industrial civilization) explain process demise.

ABSTRACT Objective Three extant theories alternatively argue that presidential legitimacy rhetoric is highly effective among co‐partisans, largely ineffective due to inattention or misunderstanding, most likely backfire and produce a counter‐message effect its radicalism. This study explores these extends previous work on the Supreme Court consider public support for Congress democratic norms. Methods An original survey experiment with 1368 participants employed. Results Presidential but produces mild backlash effect, particularly independents. Democratic norm attitudes are distinct from of Congress. Conclusion The results attenuate claims about power presidents upend major US institutions through alone. Support norms particular may be should not conflated.

In principle, liberal democracy is about an equal right to decision-making and presumes a public sphere, equally open all. However, in practice, this normative ideal, articulated, among others, by Jürgen Habermas John Dewey, farther away today than ever since WWII. The "real" distinguished from its harmed conflicting divisive interests, often presenting themselves the form of information campaigns targeting most vulnerable groups society. offered labelled as disinformation, i.e. that misleading or purposefully false. article claims we must distinguish between different uses concept disinformation. Although disinformation are increasingly harmful for democracy, label can be used silence necessary critical voices movements society, thus promoting sphere based on forced consensus. This focuses current European developments, although there references developments other continents well. It review recent research publications policy documents aspects inequality.
