Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.82,0:00:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you probably have the sense,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.53,0:00:04.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as most people do,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.08,0:00:07.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that polarization is getting worse\Nin our country,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.72,0:00:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the divide between\Nthe left and the right
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.12,0:00:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is as bad as it's been in really\Nany of our lifetimes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.84,0:00:17.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you might also reasonably wonder
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.90,0:00:20.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if research backs up your intuition.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.77,0:00:26.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in a nutshell,\Nthe answer is sadly yes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.22,0:00:29.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In study after study, we find
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.16,0:00:33.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that liberals and conservatives\Nhave grown further apart.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.40,0:00:38.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They increasingly wall themselves off\Nin these ideological silos,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.82,0:00:42.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talking only to likeminded others,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.17,0:00:46.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more and more choosing to live\Nin different parts of the country.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.32,0:00:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I think that most alarming\Nof all of it is seeing this rising
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.47,0:00:54.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,animosity on both sides.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.67,0:00:56.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Liberals and conservatives,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.93,0:01:04.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see it in many different ways.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.58,0:01:06.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't want to befriend one another.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.96,0:01:11.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they find each other less attractive,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.64,0:01:14.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they more and more don't want\Ntheir children to marry someone

Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.97,0:01:38.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what kind of movie are we in\Nwith political polarization?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.76,0:01:41.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it could be a disaster movie.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.06,0:01:43.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It certainly seems like a disaster.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.01,0:01:45.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Could be a war movie.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.44,0:01:47.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also fits.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.19,0:01:51.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what I keep thinking is that\Nwe're in a zombie apocalypse movie.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.12,0:01:55.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right? You know the kind.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.57,0:02:07.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you probably think, as I do,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.81,0:02:10.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you're the good guy\Nin the zombie apocalypse movie,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.100,0:02:15.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all this hate and polarization,\Nit's being propagated by the other people,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.15,0:02:17.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we're Brad Pitt, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.33,0:02:20.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Free-thinking, righteous,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.41,0:02:23.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just trying to hold on\Nto what we hold dear,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.24,0:02:26.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, not foot soldiers\Nin the army of the undead.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.87,0:02:28.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.18,0:02:29.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Never that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.77,0:02:31.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But here's the thing:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.60,0:02:34.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what movie do you suppose\Nthey think they're in?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.71,0:02:36.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.52,0:02:38.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, they absolutely think\Nthat they're the good guys
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.78,0:02:40.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the zombie apocalypse movie. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.80,0:02:43.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you'd better believe that they think\Nthat they're Brad Pitt
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.54,0:02:47.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that we, we are the zombies.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.54,0:02:50.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And who's to say that they're wrong?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.64,0:02:56.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that the truth is\Nthat we're all a part of this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.15,0:03:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the good side of that is that we\Ncan be a part of the solution.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.52,0:03:03.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what are we going to do?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.43,0:03:07.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What can we do to chip away\Nat polarization in everyday life?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.80,0:03:11.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What could we do to connect with\Nand communicate with
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.45,0:03:13.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our political counterparts?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.63,0:03:18.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, these were exactly the questions\Nthat I and my colleague Matt Feinberg
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.08,0:03:21.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,became fascinated with a few years ago,\Nand we started doing research
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.24,0:03:22.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on this topic.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.84,0:03:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of the first things\Nthat we discovered
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.90,0:03:29.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I think is really helpful\Nfor understanding polarization
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.38,0:03:33.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to understand that the political divide\Nin our country is undergirded
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.35,0:03:35.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by a deeper moral divide.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.31,0:03:39.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So one of the most robust findings\Nin the history of political psychology
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.86,0:03:43.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is this pattern identified\Nby John Hyatt and Jesse Graham,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.93,0:03:44.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,psychologists,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.89,0:03:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that liberals and conservatives\Ntend to endorse different values
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.11,0:03:50.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to different degrees.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.75,0:03:56.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So for example, we find that liberals\Ntend to endorse values like equality
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.34,0:04:00.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and fairness and care\Nand protection from harm
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.12,0:04:02.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than conservatives do,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.14,0:04:07.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and conservatives tend to endorse\Nvalues like loyalty, patriotism,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.39,0:04:10.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,respect for authority, and moral purity
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.85,0:04:13.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than liberals do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.15,0:04:17.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Matt and I were thinking\Nthat maybe this moral divide
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.99,0:04:22.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might be helpful for understanding\Nhow it is that liberals and conservatives
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.16,0:04:25.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk to one another and why they so often\Nseem to talk past one another
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.71,0:04:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.12,0:04:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we conducted a study
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.63,0:04:32.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we recruited liberals to a study
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.28,0:04:34.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they were supposed to write\Na persuasive essay that would be
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.68,0:04:36.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,compelling to a conservative
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.45,0:04:39.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in support of same-sex marriage.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.64,0:04:42.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what we found was that liberals\Ntended to make the arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.99,0:04:47.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of the liberal moral values\Nof equality and fairness.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.31,0:04:49.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they said things like
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.15,0:04:52.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"everyone should have the right\Nto love whoever they choose,"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.74,0:04:56.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and "they" -- they being gay Americans --\N"deserve the same equal rights
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.38,0:04:58.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as other Americans."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.45,0:05:01.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Overall, we found that\N69 percent of liberals
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.26,0:05:07.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,invoked one of the more liberal\Nmoral values in constructing their essay,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.02,0:05:10.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and only nine percent invoked\None of the more conservative moral values,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.77,0:05:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though they were supposed to be\Ntrying to persuade conservatives.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.70,0:05:18.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we studied conservatives\Nand had them make persuasive arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.50,0:05:21.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in support of making English\Nthe official language of the US,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.76,0:05:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a classically conservative\Npolitical position,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.00,0:05:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we found that they weren't\Nmuch better at this.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.90,0:05:29.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,59 percent of them made arguments\Nin terms of one of the more
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.27,0:05:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conservative moral values,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.79,0:05:33.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just eight percent invoked\Na liberal moral value,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.60,0:05:37.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though they were supposed\Nto be targeting liberals for persuasion.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.43,0:05:41.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you can see right away\Nwhy we're in trouble here. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.56,0:05:43.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People's moral values,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.64,0:05:46.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're their most deeply held beliefs.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.04,0:05:49.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People are willing to fight\Nand die for their values.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.96,0:05:52.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why are they going to give that up\Njust to agree with you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.08,0:05:55.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on something that they don't particularly\Nwant to agree with you on anyway?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.23,0:05:58.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If that persuasive appeal that\Nyou're making to your Republican uncle
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.67,0:06:01.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,means that he doesn't just have\Nto change his view,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.09,0:06:03.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he's got to change\Nhis underlying values too,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.56,0:06:05.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's not going to go very far.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.84,0:06:08.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what would work better?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.39,0:06:12.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we believe it's a technique\Nthat we call moral reframing,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.51,0:06:15.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we've studied it\Nin a series of experiments.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.14,0:06:16.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In one of these experiments,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.87,0:06:20.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we recruited liberals and\Nconservatives to a study
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.01,0:06:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they read one of three essays
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.00,0:06:25.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before having their environmental\Nattitudes surveyed.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.93,0:06:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the first of these essays
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.27,0:06:30.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was a relatively conventional\Npro-environmental essay
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.80,0:06:34.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that invoked the liberal values\Nof care and protection from harm.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.93,0:06:37.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It said things like\N"in many important ways

Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.90,0:06:54.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was designed to tap into\Nthe conservative value

Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.96,0:06:57.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was a pro-environmental essay as well,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.71,0:08:54.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's helpful to connect that policy\Nto their underlying moral values.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.96,0:09:11.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, it turns out that when\Nwe go to persuade somebody

Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.81,0:09:15.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we talk like we're speaking\Ninto a mirror.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.72,0:09:40.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So thinking again

Dialogue: 0,0:10:10.87,0:10:15.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's greater because of that gulf\Nthat they had to cross. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:10:15.33,0:10:17.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And remember that in these movies,
