Is there a T.R.U.M.P. brain? implications for mental health and world peace

Abstract

Neuroscientists have begun to investigate whether different political attitudes are associated with specificmind-brain markers. In this article, we build on political neuroscience research to briefly illustrate thestructure and function of a Threatening, Reactionary, Unforgiving, Machiavellian, and Partisan (T.R.U.M.P.)mindset. Additionally, we discussed, building on neuroscience and clinical evidence, how to counteractthe T.R.U.M.P. mindset.
