Perceptions of fairness - Adam Moore and Laura Cram Forward Thinking

    • Society & Culture

Traditionally, politics has been about compromise. Being part of a shared community, whether local, national, or international, has been about negotiation, reciprocity, and trust.


How can territorial identity influence, and perhaps even distort, perceptions of fairness?


Perceptions of intergroup (un)fairness and of being “left behind,” for example, provided much of the momentum behind the UK Brexit decision.  Here to discuss are Director of the Neuropolitics Research Lab Professor Laura Cram and Lecturer in Psychology Dr Adam Moore, both from the University of Edinburgh.
