The political world permeates people's everyday experiences. In this article, we review recent research concerning how the pursuit, creation, and maintenance of shared reality underlie important political phenomena. We address three general points. First, we discuss how the desire to share reality shapes the political attitudes that people adopt. Second, we outline how the existence of competing representations of reality can lead to prolonged political conflicts that are challenging to overcome. Third, we consider how and why shared reality contributes to social stasis and change. A scientifically informed understanding of how shared reality shapes the political arena will enrich psychological research and facilitate addressing social issues.
政治世界渗透到人们的日常生活中。在本文中，我们回顾了最近的研究，探讨了共同现实的追求、创造和维护如何构成了重要的政治现象的基础。我们讨论了三个要点。首先，我们讨论了人们想要共同构建现实的愿望如何塑造他们的政治态度。其次，我们概述了竞争的现实表现形式的存在如何导致难以克服的长期政治冲突。最后，我们考虑了共同现实如何以及为何导致社会停滞和变革。对共同现实如何塑造政治舞台的科学理解将丰富心理学研究，并有助于解决社会问题。
