One of the most relevant concepts to understand what\u2019s happening in many contemporary democracies is that of affective polarization. Affective polarization is typically conceived around two central dimensions: Political identity and animosity. I call this the two-\u00addimensional view of affective polarization. In this talk, I argue that this view distorts the division that\u2019s happening in many contemporary democracies, and proposes a multi-dimensional view. According to it, affective polarization involves more dimensions beyond identity and emotions. In particular, it distinguishes three additional dimensions involved in affective polarization processes: The dimension of abstract narratives, the dimension of credence, and the dimension of emotional and non-emotional linguistic expression. These additional dimensions are crucial to properly understand public opinion\u2019s division and to resist it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bio<\/em><br><a href=\"https:\/\/manuelalmagro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manuel Almagro<\/a> is an Assistant Professor at the University of Valencia.
