Dr Weston Talks with Dr Leor Zmigrod: Ideological Thinking and Radicalisation in Teens
In this episode, Dr Weston talks with Dr Leor Zmigrod about the psychology of ideological extremism. It’s a fascinating discussion which outlines cognitive characteristics that might act as vulnerability factors for radicalisation and ideologically-motivated behaviour in young people, before addressing what strategies might help to protect young people from this kind of rigid, and potentially dangerous, thinking.
