New Yorkers get to make history next week. And as with all things on this particular point in history, it's complicated. @noayachot.bsky.social masterfully presents the particular complexities for Jewish New Yorkers in the excellent long-read: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That blood-chilling threat you're feeling now? Even small ideological change away from you is threatening, shaping our cardiovascular reapinses, as we find in this Psychophysiology paper led by @feitenglong.bsky.social .

Progressive social change threatens ideological rightists and challenges leftists, as our physiological data show. Check out our new paper for the full story – a key part of my PhD work with @pruthie.bsky.social and Daan Scheepers. #socialpsychology #politicalpsychology #socialchange

The thing about norm-setting diversity initiatives? They work! See our findings on such real-life intervention among university students from a pre-registered longitudinal study employing network analysis, less by @feitenglong.bsky.social

After 16 months of continuous bad news, the absolute evil of this morning's news still managed to shock me: The U.S. president explicitly called for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, to the obvious delight of Netanyahu, but also of Israel's "opposition" leaders. Pasaran?

Political hope, anyone? When are leaders go fascist, previous supporters of those leaders actually go less fascist. See our registered-report longitudinal study, led by @shirahebelsela.bsky.social, Lee Aldar, and @taloharel.bsky.social, with Boaz Hameiri and Eran Halperin, here: tinyurl.com/3py5n6vb

Fellow social psychologists, I need your help! Can you recommend an intro Social Psych textbook that a. was published this decade b. is _not_ incredibly U.S. focused ? Or, if you can't, could you repost?

Check out our new paper, the fruit of a complex, nuanced project led by @feitenglong.bsky.social , with Daan Scheepers and yours truly: t.ly/QK_nI

Norms of equality reduce prejudice towards migrants, but only among conservatives

Hope is hard to come by these days, but is that strictly a bad thing? Out now in ERSP: Smadar Cohen-Chen and I review past work on group-based hope to examine when it's good and when it's bad, in feeling and in function. Open access at shorturl.at/xFIS7
