We had a wonderful week at #ECP22! Our team had the chance to share research on personality change, helping behaviour, self-knowledge, LLM-based assessment, and political attitudes. Big thanks to the organizers and all the colleagues who made the conference so enjoyable. Looking forward to Utrecht!😊

Thank you @emilykubin.bsky.social and @shelleymckeown.bsky.social for inviting me to the social dynamics lab @ox.ac.uk to present my work about the interplay of dispositions and circumstances on support for political violence. It was a pleasure meeting you all and getting your input to my projects.

Great to be at a panel w/ Felicia Pratto, Shana Levin, PJ Henry and Mariska Kappmeier about the „Hidden currents of discord“ @polpsyispp.bsky.social Thanks to everyone for coming and listening to my project about how empathy and dominance orientation shape support for political violence

Throwback to last September when our PhD researcher @rasmusmoering.bsky.social returned to Mid Sweden University — this time as a guest lecturer on violent extremism. Always great to see collaborations come full circle! 😊 🔗 www.miun.se/en/contact/P...
