New study links social network size to support for political violence

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

A recent study published in Injury Epidemiology finds that the size of a person’s social network may be linked to their support for political violence in the United States .

People with either very few or very many close connections show a higher likelihood of endorsing violence as a means to achieve political goals.

The study also highlighted the influence of social isolation and racial or ethnic marginalization on views about political violence.

Study's limitations include its reliance on self-reported data, which may be subject to personal bias.

Further research should examine how social connections evolve over time and impact an individual’s views, the study says.

“We at the University of California, Davis are building out a research program focused on political violence from a public health perspective,” Schleimer said.
