Political emotions are not experienced as everyday emotions. They are felt differently in the body, are embodied differently according to our ideology and predict political participation. Our latest with @andreavik.bsky.social @parkbmb.bsky.social @alexgalvezpol.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2nh9maka

Focal brain damage effects on political behaviour, not on ideology. Political involvement was more intense after lesions to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex & posterior precuneus, less intense after lesions to the amygdala and anterior temporal lobe academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...

@jburnmurdoch.ft.com from @financialtimes.com shows that Trump’s America and his supporters are a stark outlier from western Europe and the rest of the Anglosphere. In many cases, the Maga mindset is much closer to that of Vladimir Putin’s Russia or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Turkey.

Politics affect our health (think US elections). With M Von Mohr, we show that better body-awareness make us more resilient to the negative health impact of politics, without a cost to our political engagement. & We replicate this before & after the 2024 Presidential election t.co/k9Tt1xnpVm
