More in Common took shape from work undertaken since 2016 to understand why so many societies were dividing around debates about their identity and belonging, and why people were being increasingly persuaded to see debates about immigration, refugees and diversity through the lens of ‘us-versus-them’. Since then, we have broadened our research agenda and incorporated several layers of social psychology research to provide a deeper analysis of the different factors contributing to polarization and social fracturing.
More in Common’s published studies of public attitudes in several European countries and the United States are already regarded as among the most insightful and actionable analyses of public opinion. Our team also published papers on polarization, social media and the psychology of political behavior.
In a time when there is often talk of division and contradictions, it is easy to lose sight of what we have in common as a society. It would be important to think more about our similarities right now. In this short paper, More in Common Germany explains why based on our research, but also from a socio-psychological perspective. The paper is the prelude to the series "What unites us".
