Affective polarization not only influences partisan animosity but also shapes trust in institutions, responses to crises, intergroup relations, and political perceptions. This panel examines the less-explored psychological, social, and institutional dimensions of affective polarization, focusing on how trust, collective trauma, and even humor contribute to deepening or mitigating partisan divides. By integrating insights from political psychology, trust theory, and media studies, this panel provides a fresh perspective on how affective polarization manifests beyond traditional political divides, influencing perceptions of governance, economic grievances, and crisis response. Ultimately, the discussion will highlight both the psychological mechanisms that sustain political distrust and potential pathways for reducing polarization in democratic societies.
