ABSTRACT
Given the difficulty people have engaging with disagreeing views across contexts—from political discussions to workplace conflicts—it is critical to understand how conflictual conversation can be improved. While previous work has focused on strategies to change individual-level mindsets (e.g., encouraging open-mindedness), we investigated the role of partisans’ beliefs about their counterparts. Across seven pre-registered studies (N=2,614), people consistently under-estimated how willing disagreeing counterparts were to learn about their views (compared to themselves and to agreeing others). Further, this belief strongly predicted greater derogation of attitude opponents and more negative expectations for conflictual conversations. Critically, in both American partisan politics and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a short informational intervention that increased beliefs that counterparts were willing to learn about one’s views decreased derogation and increased willingness to engage in the future. We build on research recognizing the power of the situation to highlight a fruitful new focus for conflict research.

Dear Reader,

Due to a coding error, in Study 4 we excluded data from an additional 75 participants who were matched with agreeing (rather than disagreeing) partners. We discovered this error prior to publication, but after making our ResearchBox public (and thus no longer editable). To reproduce the numbers in the manuscript, please add the code below to line 14 in the code file for Study 4.

 

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at hcollins@hbs.edu.

 

Best,

Hanne

 

#-Correct coding error (some people saw an agreeing statement instead of disagreeing)

study4$attitude_check <- ifelse(study4$issue == "stem" & study4$stem > 4, "agree",

                                       ifelse(study4$issue == "isis" & study4$isis > 4, "agree",

                                              ifelse(study4$issue == "isis" & study4$isis < 4, "disagree", NA))))
