A bold re-examination of how political attitudes change in response
to information. Many mistakenly believe that it is fruitless to try
to persuade those who disagree with them about politics. However,
Persuasion in Parallel shows that individuals do, in fact, change
their minds in response to information, with partisans on either
side of the political aisle updating their views roughly in
parallel. This book challenges the dominant view that persuasive
information can often backfire because people are supposedly
motivated to reason against information they dislike. Drawing on
evidence from a series of randomized controlled trials, the book
shows that the backfire response is rare to nonexistent. Instead,
it shows that most everyone updates in the direction of
information, at least a little bit. The political upshot of this
work is that the other side is not lost. Even messages we don't
like can move us in the right direction.
