Europeans want fairer responsibility-sharing in refugee protection among member states, but disagree on which principles should guide such a fair distribution — partly due to national self-interest. New article out in @ejprjournal.bsky.social with @bencrum.nldoi.org/10.1017/S147...
New paper out 📄 How do citizens mentally map political divides — and where do they go wrong?
Using German survey data on immigration, we split perceptual error into 3 biases (egocentrism, conservatism & false polarization) that mirror the very divides they distort.
