80% Informative

A new study sheds light on how political power influences ideological prejudice in the United States , revealing that people’s ideological bias against opposing beliefs intensifies when their own party is not in power.

The research analyzed data spanning nearly five decades , showing that conservatives are more prejudiced against progressives when Democrats hold power, and progressives exhibit stronger biases against conservatives.

The study focused on ideological dynamics within the United States .

The researchers acknowledged that while they found strong evidence for the influence of political power on ideological prejudice, other factors could contribute to this effect.

Economic downturns, social movements, and global crises like pandemics may also heighten or reduce ideological biases.
