Between the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the murder of the Melissa and Mark Hortman in their home and the attack of Paul Pelosi in 2022, political violence is on the rise. The past weeks have filled many with fear, apprehension and uncertainty. When possible, during such times it is valuable to learn pertinent information so we can act in effective ways. In this episode Tim is joined by Dr. Bryan Bushman to discuss what the research says about the psychological profiles of those committing these acts of violence and what we can do with this information to be a help and a support. Tim and Bryan also discuss effective ways to connect with those we may politically disagree with to avoid dehumanization. This episode is very much worth your time during this difficult period.
