Abstract

Research exploring a link between political ideology and interoception has produced contrasting results. We administered the Multi-Dimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA-2) to a sample of Italian individuals to provide further insight into the field. Our results do not support the existence of a link between political ideology and interoception. These findings contribute to the current debate on the predictive role of interoception in political orientation.
