The psychology of gridlock: Compromise, coalitions, and radicalisation

这个项目旨在测试一种创新的集体僵局心理模型。通过访谈、调查、实验、小组研究和社交媒体数据分析，该项目旨在研究僵局心理学中的关键途径，即对手被锁定在相互不理想的结果中，无法前进。这些途径包括温和派退出或自我审查；追求纯洁和拒绝妥协的规范压力；避免结盟的战术选择；和极端主义。这项研究旨在开发新的干预措施，以减少两极分化和激进化，并促进妥协，这将有助于社会更灵活、更有效地应对社会和环境挑战。

This project aims to test an innovative psychological model of collective gridlock. Using interviews, surveys, experiments, small group research, and analysis of social media data, the project aims to examine critical pathways in gridlock psychology, where opponents are locked into mutually suboptimal outcomes, unable to move forward. These pathways include the exit or self-censorship of moderates; normative pressure towards purity and refusal to compromise; tactical choices to avoid coalitions; and radicalisation. The research aims to develop novel interventions to reduce polarisation and radicalisation, and to promote compromises, which together will help society respond more nimbly and effectively to social and environmental challenges.
