Abstract: The modern political landscape promotes extreme values. This raises the issue of information processing and misinformation in pursuit of a tailored narrative. Here, we demonstrate how political polarization impacts ingroup favoritism using a neutral statement on cursive writing in education shown to all participants. Our participants consist of a convenience sample of authors’ family and friends. The study uses a speaker manipulation to assess how a match or mismatch of political ideology affects agreement and support of proposed statements. Our findings suggest that participant political ideology significantly predicted an in-group bias. In addition, speaker manipulation and participant political ideology interacted to predict partisan agreement. Limitations of current work and future directions are discussed.
