معرفی
Lea Pradella is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University, focusing on the psychological dimensions of contemporary democratic challenges. Her work examines how political identity shapes interpersonal dynamics within polarized societies.
Her research centers on Political Psychology, Empathy, Political Discussions, and Polarization, investigating mechanisms like in-party social pressure effects on cross-partisan empathy and the persistence of misperceptions about political opponents. She employs experimental methodologies and cross-national survey analysis to study these phenomena, particularly within digital communication environments.
Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on the psychological foundations of political polarization, with recurring themes of social media's role in amplifying intergroup hostility and the limited efficacy of perception-correction interventions. Her 2024 studies reveal global patterns linking economic inequality to online hostility experiences, while her Danish-focused 2022 report provides nationally contextualized insights into social media hate dynamics.
