SUMMARY:Audrey Feldman and Todd Rogers - CGIS Knafel K450
DESCRIPTION:<p>Note: We will be in <strong>CGIS Knafel K450</strong>, not our usual room.</p><p><strong>Title:</strong>&nbsp;The depolarizing promise of shared sports fandom</p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Shared sports fandom is one of the most powerful ways to depolarize counter-partisans. Across nine pre-registered studies, we find that learning that a counter-partisan is a fan of the same sports team reduces affective polarization as much or more than learning that a counter-partisan shares your education level, where you are from, religion, and race. The more important people’s fandom is to them, the bigger the depolarizing effect of shared fandom. Using a modified dictator game, we find that people respond with less hostility to counter-partisans who share their sports fandom than counter-partisans who share any of the other similarity dimensions.&nbsp;</p>
