'Youniversalism' Measures Growing Reliance On Personal Truth

Measuring Personal Truth in a Post-Truth Era

In an age often characterized as "post-truth," the reliance on personal feelings to determine what is real has surged. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have taken a significant step to quantify this phenomenon with the introduction of the "Youniversalism" scale. This new tool aims to assess individuals' beliefs in subjective and experiential truths. Their findings have been detailed in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
