“…Our hope is to provide new insights to the study of narrative and of climate change narratives. We also hope to provide a stronger and more democratic foundation to the usefulness of the NPF, as research on the policy narrative, in particular NPF research, has become increasingly interested in how the use of narrative relates to democracy (see, for example, Jones and McBeth 2020;McBeth and Lybecker 2018;McBeth and Pearsall 2021;Pope 2017).…”

Understanding the reasoning behind diverse views grows empathy and can help strengthen democracy. This study examines narratives and their influence on individuals, to see if individuals only empathize with narratives from those with whom they share identity. Using an experimental design, we test empathy with working class climate change narratives. Results showed participants who agreed with anthropogenic climate change, who were given both evidence and a narrative, empathized with the narrator (either an organic farmer or a mechanic) that told a pro-climate change narrative. The greatest empathy was for the mechanic telling a pro-climate change narrative. Conversely, participants who did not agree with human-caused climate change and who were given evidence without narrative had more empathy for the organic farmer (over the mechanic) who told a pro-climate change narrative. Overall, we found some identity issues negatively influenced empathy, but we also found examples where individuals moved beyond their identity.

“…Taught at a public university in the United States, the introduction to politics course begins with lectures and readings on concepts including cognitive dissonance (Festinger 1957), confirmation bias (Taber and Lodge 2006), filter bubbles (Pariser 2011), narratives (Jones and McBeth 2010; McBeth and Pearsall 2019), and political emotion and identity (Huddy, Mason, and Aarøe 2015). There are subsequent discussions of the political brain (Westen 2008), a critique of classic economics and utility maximization (Nowak, Page, and Sigmund 2000), readings on motivated reasoning (Kahan, Jenkins-Smith, and Braman 2011), and discussions of political disinformation (Bennett and Livingston 2018).…”

Political polarization and generational politics are important topics in contemporary political science classrooms. This article presents an approach to teaching political polarization in an introduction to politics course. Coauthored by two Generation Z students from the course and their Boomer Generation professor, the article provides conflicting views of young people and politics as found in the work of Robert Putnam and Russell Dalton. The article presents survey data on affective and issue political polarization from the course, including discussion by the two student coauthors of the survey results interpreting their generation’s political polarization. The course approaches the introductory politics course using cognitive psychology concepts including confirmative bias, motivated reasoning, and other cognitive biases. Teaching from this micro-level perspective helps students to reflect on their own political biases. The article provides concepts and readings for political science professors to use in replicating the course.
