Description
Yaacov Schul, Yoav Ganzach, and Asya Pazy revisit, in 2026, a debate about how party identity shapes hostility toward political opponents. A recent study had argued that stronger identity, on either side, tracks more animosity in a symmetric way. The authors raise doubts about that study's concepts and methods.
They propose a different model and apply it to the original data plus a second large dataset. The effect of identity strength on animosity differed between Democratic and Republican respondents. That pattern fits an asymmetric view of partisan hostility. The authors close with lessons on method and on how political dislike should be studied within the same person over time.
