Fig. 4: Mean CDS prevalence over time by level of polarization change (ΔP).
From: Cognitive distortions are associated with increasing political polarization
Users were split into two groups based on the median value of ΔP (Medium vs. High). Those with greater increases in polarization (High ΔP) consistently exhibit higher CDS prevalence and a steeper rise over time. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
