Original: New book explores how political polarization affects close relationships

A newly published book examines how political polarization shapes and strains close personal relationships, including families and friendships. The work, associated with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, explores how divided political climates affect the way people connect, argue, and maintain bonds with those who hold opposing views, drawing attention to the personal costs of a deeply polarized era.

Why now: Ongoing political division is making people increasingly aware of its impact on families and friendships.
