How Negativity Bias Fuels Toxic Politics
Negativity Addiction - Travis Monteleone
In this episode of Outrage Overload, we explore the concept of negativity bias and its role in toxic polarization. We are joined by Travis Monteleone, a private equity investor and depolarization advocate. Monteleone argues that negativity bias is a major factor contributing to toxic polarization because it causes individuals to overemphasize negative information and stereotypes about other people and political issues. The discussion delves into the root causes of polarization, the impact of social media algorithms, and practical strategies to resist negativity bias and bridge the political divide.
