Warren Township branch

Meeting Room

Discover the psychology behind people's belief systems. Presented by ethical strategist Karen Tibbals.

The belief in specific fake news reports frequently fits in with an individual's pre-existing beliefs about what is important. If you have difficulty understanding why people believe certain news, then their beliefs are more than likely different than yours.  Karen Tibbals will review recent psychological research that explains why the country is divided, in order to understand more about what is happening in the American social and political climate.  The discussion will end with techniques for addressing the divisions. 

This program is part of a 3-part series on Fake News at SCLSNJ
