The Tough Job of Fixing Political Division

A recent study shows that quick fixes for political anger don't last; attempts to bridge divides often lose their effect quickly.

Researchers tested many approaches such as fact-checking and encouraging discussions between opposing groups, yet saw limited long-term success.

The study suggests that deeper, more sustainable changes are necessary to counter the polarization created by political and media influencers.

It concludes that lasting solutions require tackling the root causes, like how leaders and media spread angry words and ideas.
