Sometimes you just can't win, and that goes double for people navigating the increasingly polarized political landscape in the United States.
Having nuanced opinions of politics in the U.S. turns out to be a very lonely, and unpopular, road, according to a recent study by a research team that includes assistant professor Aviva Phillipp-Muller from Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business.
Published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, the study found that people who express ambivalence about political topics—ranging from COVID-19 mask mandates, immigration and the death penalty—were not only disliked by people who disagreed with their view, but they also were less liked by people who agreed with their overall position but feel their position isn't strong enough.
