A new US study reveals that efforts to reduce political hostility yield only temporary improvements, often fading within a couple of weeks.
Researchers analyzed numerous interventions, including correcting misconceptions and fostering dialogue between opposing groups, showing minimal long-term impact.
The study highlights the need for innovative strategies that address the underlying incentives driving political polarization and harmful rhetoric.
These findings emphasize that a lasting solution requires a comprehensive approach addressing elite behavior and the broader political environment.
