Bayou to Beltway with Dr. Brooke Breaux and Dr. Robert Michael from UL's Psychology Department, Wednesday at 12:30 on KRVS, 88.7 fm.
Drs. Breaux and Michael discuss the peculiar characteristics of political communication affecting the nation at this time. People seem to be speaking past each other and to rely on "facts" that others dispute, while all the while, the political atmosphere heats up. Breaux and Michael bring their professional expertise to this question, pointing to psychological phenomena such as confirmation bias, apophenia, and the effect of emotion on remembering and recounting. Listen in as Drs. Breaux and Michael clear away the miasma that affects our community and nation's communication. Wednesday at 12:30 pm, on KRVS 88.7 fm.
