- This academic publication explores attitude networks within polarized political contexts, specifically focusing on the US-American electorate.
- The authors Adrian Lueders, DINO CARPENTRAS, and Michael Quayle introduce a new technique called Response-Item Network (ResIN) to model how attitudes and group identities are interconnected.
- Their research demonstrates that the structural properties of these attitude networks provide significant information about underlying partisan identities and how individuals use these attitude-identity links to understand and evaluate their social surroundings.
- Funded by entities like the European Research Council, this study advances the comprehension of attitude identity dynamics and socio-political divides.
- The findings are published in the British Journal of Social Psychology.
