Recent findings from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University indicate that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training approaches may cause psychological damage. The research demonstrates a rise in hostility, victimhood, and mindsets aiming to inflict punishment among individuals who participated in DEI training.
Topics that were discussed included race, religion, and social groups. This tends to attribute hostility, as stated by Joel Finkelstein, Chief Science Officer at NCRI. He also stated how DEI initiatives may lead to greater animosity, partiality, and authoritarian actions over time.
