Highlights:
Specific mind-brain processes are associated with political attitudes.The risks of a T.R.U.M.P. mindset are highlighted.An alternative G.A.N.D.H.I. mindset is suggested.
Abstract:
Neuroscientists have begun to investigate whether different political attitudes are associated with specific mind-brain markers. In this article, we build on political neuroscience research to briefly illustrate the structure and function of a Threatening, Reactionary, Unforgiving, Machiavellian, and Partisan (T.R.U.M.P.) mindset. Additionally, we discussed, building on neuroscience and clinical evidence, how to counteract the T.R.U.M.P. mindset.
