Gail Sahar is the author of Blame and Political Attitudes: The Psychology of America's Culture War, her latest release about the blame-placing tendencies of American politics and how to change perspectives. Her research focuses on the links between political ideology, perceptions of the causes of social problems, blame, emotions, and attitudes toward controversial social issues, such as poverty, abortion, and terrorism. Gail will discuss her release as well as provide a fresh perspective on how to change political attitudes.

                                                             

 

 ABOUT GAIL SAHAR

Professor Sahar's work offers hope to those working for political change as it suggests ways to influence the attitudes of others by focusing less on political ideology and more on perceptions of the causes of social problems. Professor Sahar has 8 publications in various peer-reviewed psychology journals. She has won awards for her teaching and was recently honored with an endowed chair for teaching and research. Her latest work, Blame and Political Attitudes: The Psychology of America's Culture War, demonstrates that the current emphasis on value differences, whether between conservatives and liberals in the U.S. or between religious and secular countries on a global level, ignores commonalities in the way people think about issues. She proposes that focusing on perceived causes of social problems is a much more promising avenue for dialog than trying to reconcile fundamental belief systems. The novel has been recognized as a reader-friendly, well-researched and insightful analysis by the UCLA research department and the best, most accessible, and most socially relevant book about attribution by NYU Professor John Jost.
