Oh, I don’t have any answers for the replicability crisis. I honestly try to stick to core findings that have held up over the decades like ‘people largely are who they were when they were young’. Even outside of political psychology, political analyses show that people don’t change much in their voting patterns over the course of their life. That’s a pretty solid, old, replicated finding that I frankly don’t expect will change much with the internet. I don’t really believe the internet is that revolutionizing, tbh. 95% of retweets come from the same old media corporations that made 95% of newspapers before the internet, etc.
So that, and personality psychology, which is really broad and seems to be holding up. At least, the newer schools of personality psych like the Big Five model, which seems pretty solid tbh. And then things like Right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, which are in line with Big Five stuff today, and to a lesser exent system justification theory. Admittedly, I don’t know much about leftists/what makes a leftist, besides some of the basic personality tendencies. I should learn more about the psychology of becoming leftist later in life, really, that’s like the whole point here. Too busy trying to wrap my head around those multigenerational chud cults that currently dominate america
I’ve read a little about, like, ex white nationalists who go about helping other white nationalists ‘come over’, but never really studied their techniques.
Also, does CBT count? Haha I like to consider circumstances known to help people change their minds when I’m trying to do that but... it’s just really hard to change ppls minds
