What Brings Us Together and What Drives Us Apart? Processes of Collective Defensiveness
Populists deny the climate crisis as “fake news”, citizens reject science-based measures against COVID-19, and parties in our parliaments challenge the foundations of our democracies. Our cutting-edge international research helps understand and mitigate these divisive processes by uniting collective defensiveness perspectives from social psychology, political psychology, and motivation science.
