🚀The research team for the Youth, Affective Polarisation and Trust (YAPT) India has commenced the pilot phase of the project. Located in Brazil, India, South Africa and the UK, the project is led by ...
the IDS, University of Sussex. It aims to study the extent to which young people’s social media engagement with online manifestations of party polarisation influences their levels of social and institutional trust, and consequently, their social and political behaviours.
From casual browsing to emotional burnout—our online behaviour speaks volumes about how we process today’s fast-paced world.
We invite young participants (18-34) for an informal group discussion on how social media shapes your everyday life, trust, and views on public issues.
🧠 How does social media shape what we trust, how we act, and who we connect with?
The project explores how digital platforms influence behaviour, social interactions, and trust 🌍
If you are 18-24 years and in Delhi, we would love to hear from you.
