Episode notes

Researchers found that more than two thirds of participants were willing to list to a view opposite to theirs. "We find effects on whether people change their views or not, but not on the willing to indition"

New research suggests people on opposite sides of wedge issues want to listen to each other. We are each eager to hear differing opinions and understand opposing views, and when we do it can change our minds (at least a little), but only when we aren't triggered by the psychological phenomenon of reactance - one of several ideas we explore in this episode.
