Epistemic Spillovers: Learning Others’ Political Views Reduces the Ability to Assess and Use Their Expertise in Nonpolitical Domains
TL;DR: The authors found that people are especially likely to consult and learn from those whose political views are similar to their own, thus creating a risk of echo chambers or information cocoons on political questions, and that the tendency to prefer knowledge from the politically like-minded generalizes to domains that have nothing to do with politics even when evidence indicates that person is less skilled in that domain than someone with dissimilar political views.
