In their article, Kende et al. seek to answer the question "When do people challenge economic inequality & when are they more likely to accept it?" They find strength of local social movements interacts with local levels of inequality & predict individuals' justification. Read more: buff.ly/AoitqH6

What mechanisms are at play in the decision to vaccinate? Beylat et al. examine perceptions of risk & trustworthiness to find out. Their findings reveal that perceived government integrity or high risk perception are individually enough to predict who gets vaccinated. Read more: buff.ly/LIcvrRw

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

Some good recommendations. More simply, you often don't need logistic regression for binary data! statisticalhorizons.com/when-can-you...

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...

We change constantly — new roles, new beliefs, new ways of seeing our past. Yet most of us feel like the same person over time. How? Brent Hughes and I explore this in our new paper in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 🧵 www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Anyone familiar with publicly available data sets that have multi-item measures of system justification? Preference for US samples and samples that have good variation in composition by race and ethnicity and socioeconomic status.

Very belatedly sharing this because the last months were busy: The limits of appraisal theory for political emotions is out in Political Psychology! @gijsschumacher.bsky.social, @mrooduijn.bsky.social and I ask whether appraisal theories of emotion work the same way in politics as in everyday life.

#KidicalMassHfx isn’t about *me*, but biking with 150 friends and strangers on the street where I grew up makes me reflective. It’s where I struggled to learn to ride without training wheels & didn’t have friends to ride with. I couldn’t imagine this life where bikes connect me so deeply to others.

New paper in Political Psychology (@ispp-pops.bsky.social) tested the Social Identity Model of Collective Action during Gen Z protests in Madagascar. They show SIMCA's relevance for post-action social harmony This is also the first data exclusively from Madagascar published in the journal!

Screenshot of article title and abstract. The title is, "Navigating social change and social harmony: Testing SIMCA in Gen Z collective action in Madagascar and its role in reconciliation processes". The abstract is, "The Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA) effectively predicts collective action and social change, but has been less examined in emerging movements and non-WEIRD contexts. This research had two aims: to test SIMCA during the Gen Z mobilization in Madagascar, a largely online movement that culminated in the overthrow of the government in October 2025; and to examine how SIMCA variables relate to post-action activism and reconciliation. Study 1 (N = 959), conducted during the governmental transition, tested SIMCA—including national identification, Gen Z identification, perceived injustice, collective efficacy, and morality—on online collective action support, intention, and participation. Study 2 (N = 258), conducted post-transition, examined associations with activism intention, reconciliation, and forgiveness. Gen Z identification and morality were consistently associated with collective action and activism intention, whereas perceived injustice was primarily linked to ongoing collective action. Collective efficacy showed mixed associations. In contrast, national identification emerged as a key factor of post-action forgiveness. These findings suggest that SIMCA variables are involved not only in social change but also in post-action social harmony. They highlight the distinct roles of politicized and non-politicized identities, underscoring the importance of conceptualizing collective action as a temporally and contextually embedded process."
