The Power of Listening in a Polarized World

Supported through a $1 million grant by Templeton World Charity, New research by Dr. Netta Weinstein and Dr. Guy Itzchakov of the Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Services is helping to build a deeper scientific understanding of the power of listening, and its importance for human well-being, such as in their recent paper published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Their insight into the practices involved in attentive listening during disagreements offers tools to reduce polarization.
