At the 15th meeting of the „Fachgruppe Sozialpsychologie“ in Potsdam, Germany, Christina Mölders presented her research on how disrespect in political debates can damage trust in the political system: If a political actor is observed to behave disrespectfully, the whole group of politicians seems less trustworthy-at least if the actor is perceived as typical for his/her group. Through this, systen trust is damaged, too.
