Abstract

This panel explores the psychological forces driving group identity, solidarity, and division. Examining how national pride, core beliefs, and trust influence polarization, it uncovers the emotional drivers behind conflict, migration attitudes, and minority voting behavior. From loneliness to media influence, this discussion reveals how identity shapes the politics of "us" versus "them."
