Abstract

Economic development is a nation’s effort to improve the welfare of its people by increasing income levels, expanding equal opportunities, and transforming the economic structure. For Indonesia, economic development is of great importance because it can help reduce poverty, create employment opportunities, and enhance the nation’s competitiveness at the international level. However, economic development is not solely about increasing economic growth figures. In reality, challenges remain in the form of regional disparities, social inequality, and difficulties in maintaining environmental sustainability. Several studies also indicate that economic growth in Indonesia has not been evenly distributed across regions, and that inclusive and environmentally sustainable growth still requires significant improvement. Therefore, it is essential to study theories of economic development and examine their application in the Indonesian context so that the development process can become more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of curiosity as a psychological and ethical strategy in overcoming political polarization and enhancing the quality of democratic discourse. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, analyzing recent empirical findings from political psychology—specifically the research of Todd Kashdan and colleagues—as well as theoretical reflections on public discourse and the ethics of listening. The results of the study indicate that the primary barrier in cross-partisan political conversation is not merely differences in viewpoints, but rather misunderstandings regarding the level of intellectual openness within one’s own group (in-group misperception). Curiosity is proven to be positively associated with openness, intellectual humility, and reduced social distance between political groups. Furthermore, simple psychological interventions that correct perceptions of internal group norms are capable of increasing curiosity and the quality of political interaction. This article concludes that curiosity and the practice of empathetic listening are essential foundations for depolarization and the strengthening of discourse ethics in contemporary democracy.
