📈💬💡 Before reviewing contested evidence, remind participants of the standards attached to their professional role, such as accuracy, replication, fairness, or service. That identity can reduce the influence of partisan (or other groupish) identities. #DataCommunication #Leadership #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Choose a setting, introduction, question, or example that reminds the audience of the identity most likely to support fair consideration of the data you are about to present. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Before different specialists analyze data together, remind them of a meaningful shared role or goal. Feeling like one professional group can improve cooperation, idea quality, & performance. #DataCommunication #Leadership #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Use displays that clearly show where polarized groups overlap, such as close percentages of shared responses. Graphs that emphasize only differences can make groups appear farther apart than they are. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 An ingroup messenger can help someone accept data, but it cannot make weak reasoning persuasive to an attentive audience. Only use shared identity to support a well-founded (i.e., not weak) argument. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Corrections can help, but people may resist them when they come from an opposing group. When possible, use a credible ingroup source or a source the audience does not view as adversarial. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 An ingroup messenger may influence moderate group members differently from strongly committed members or weak identifiers. Test your message with each subgroup instead of assuming one effect. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Identify shared beliefs, experiences, roles, interests, or goals before discussing disputed findings. Common ground can reduce “us versus them” thinking & make the conversation feel less threatening. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 When trust is a barrier, choose a qualified messenger who shares a meaningful identity with the audience. The same information may be accepted more readily from someone perceived as “one of us.” #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 People remember identity-supporting information more easily & may forget threatening information. Link the evidence to an identity the audience currently values, then revisit the key finding later. #DataCommunication #ScienceCommunication #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 The more central a group is to someone’s identity, the more likely that person may reject evidence that conflicts with the group’s position & accept information that supports it. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Ask whether accepting the findings would make the audience feel disloyal, lower its group’s status, or conflict with what respected group members believe. Those threats can motivate rejection. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Underscore shared goals, joint meetings, common metrics, cross-group projects, team norms, & reminders of past joint success if your data audience views you (or others) as an outgroup. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 When narrower identities create conflict, emphasize an accurate higher-level identity that includes both sides, such as employees of one organization, members of one profession, or people protecting the same rights. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 A common identity can sometimes intensify attention to another difference, such as political opposition. Test the effect rather than assuming any shared label will reduce conflict. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 A highlighted identity (e.g., parent) may have little effect when a stronger competing identity (e.g., partisan) is active. Assess the setting & the relative strength of group loyalties before relying on identity-based framing for your data. #DataCommunication #Persuasion #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Making an identity salient can also reduce data-friendly behavior when that identity carries negative norms. Consider what conduct the audience identity encourages before bringing it to the forefront during data use. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity

📈💬💡 Before asking people to contribute or collaborate, remind them of a meaningful shared group. In multiple studies, making a data-friendly identity salient increased contributions, especially among more self-focused participants. #DataCommunication #SocialPsychology #SocialIdentity
