The book explores the basis of political polarization as being how citizens think and feel about people with a different worldview, how they perceive minority groups, and how much they trust leaders and experts on pressing societal issues such as climate change, health, international relations, and poverty. The chapters are organized into two sections that examine what psychological processes and what social factors contribute to polarization among regular citizens. The book also describes practical strategies and interventions to depolarize people. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book offers a state-of-the-art introduction to the psychology of political polarization which will appeal to the academic market and political professionals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJan-Willem van Prooijen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Psychology at Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam, and senior researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR).
