    Episode 3: The more conservative, the more prejudiced?

    In this episode, our host Vladimir Bojarskich interviews Dr. Mark Brandt, Associate Professor of Social and Personality Psychology at Michigan State University. Together, they explore a fundamental question that has intrigued political psychologists for decades: Are conservatives generally more prejudiced than liberals, or do both groups show similar levels of prejudice? Vladimir and Mark delve into the origins of these contrasting perspectives, examine the role of normativity and positionality, and discuss exciting new research led by Mark's PhD students. Whether you're deeply into psychology or just interested in the factors that shape our views, this episode promises to provide valuable insights.
