💖This paper has been ~11 years in the making - and probably my favorite project of all time. Thrilled to see it in @PNASNews! I'm so lucky that Zach decided to do a 2nd PhD and join my lab @PsychIllinois back in 2014 - a fabulous scientist & human!

This matters for understanding misinformation and polarization.

If partisan endorsement starts as social signaling, it may gradually become genuine belief through repetition and self-perception. What begins as fitting in may end as sincere conviction.
