New longitudinal study on the ethnic identity development of minoritized kids! Children’s positive identity-related feelings remained stable, BUT their negative identity-related feelings decreased over time. Mothers’ cultural socialization predicted this decrease (1/2) #devpsy #devsci #socialpsyc

📣 New pub! Dehumanization contributes to support for contested cultural traditions involving stereotypical caricatures in the Netherlands (Study 1) and the US (Study 2). 🔎 Click here: doi.org/10.1037/cdp0... Co-authored w/ J. van der Toorn & @nourkteily.bsky.social #PsychSciSky #socialpsyc

New study! The messages that American kids receive about immigrants are really mixed 😕 but kids who see and hear good things (e.g., online) are more open to including new immigrant peers in their own social circles 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 #devpsyc #socialpsyc doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

With Daudi van Veen (@daudivanveen.nl), Lena-Emilia Schenker, and Lynn Weisscher, children drew what they think a scientist looks like — sometimes resembling Harry Potter 🧙🏽‍♀️ — and explored how to break stereotypes. Their message was clear: They want the university to be a place for everyone.

👽 “Everyone is welcome — yes, even aliens” 🦺 “No more dull, dusty white lab coats!” 🍕 “Beanbags everywhere, and pizza in the cafeteria” What does the university of the future look like? On behalf of KiDLAB and Lil’Scientist, we asked children this question at the lustrum of The Young Academy.

🚨🚨🚨New Paper Alert🚨🚨🚨 In press at JEP: General. I'll talk about the paper in a minute, but let me tell you, this paper took 10 brutal years to get accepted. Literally! Let's talk terrorism and its effects on politics. (1/24)

I am looking forward to presenting about picture books as tools for parent-child ethnic-racial socialization at #SRCR2025 alongside Grace Reid (presenting her work with @ryanlei.bsky.social), @katharinescott.bsky.social, and Christina Rucinski! #devpsych #devsci #psychscisky

New meta-analysis by Bardach et al #PsychBull Intergroup contact does very well relative to other school interventions to reduce prejudice. I feel like I'm watching a horserace here! Go contact! psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... #PrejudiceResearch

In collaboration with #utrechtuniversity and “wij zijn dox”, I recently made an explainer video for children about prejudice and discrimination. See below! Especially relevant for the Dutch speakers on Bluesky👇🏽 #devpsyc #devpsych #socialpsyc #psychscisky youtu.be/GKCGUDDmmC0?...

I introduced the term "race evaders" for those in the field of language development (or any field) who rhetorically circumvent race so that racist assumptions embedded in their arguments become more palatable. wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🚨New in @PNASNews, led by @DSchultner & Ben Stillerman: In 8 studies, we test a mechanism through which exposure to societal stereotypes—even those we know may be false—can implicitly transform into individual-level prejudice and then spread across a community. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

📣 I’m excited to share our new publication in Applied Developmental Science detailing how mother’s subtle negative messages about outgroups contribute to children’s ethnic prejudice development. 🔎 Want to know more? Click below: doi.org/10.1080/1088... #DevPsych #DevSci #PsychSciSky

it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science

‘Waarom is er nog altijd discriminatie?’ Bij het NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam, kunnen kinderen (lastige) vragen zoals deze stellen aan wetenschappers. Nieuwsgierig naar mijn antwoord? Check de link hieronder: nemo100jaar.nl/vragen/waaro... #devpsyc #socialpsyc

This week I presented at the Anti-Racism in Education workshop (funded by IMISCOE). It was inspiring to hear about and reflect on this topic with researchers from all over Europe 🙌🏽. A special thanks to the organizers @fzhr.bsky.social @leilamhb.bsky.social and Elif Keskiner😊! #EduSky #pedagogy

Children’s Reasoning About Empathy and Social Relationships "Our results suggest that young children in the US have a blanket expectation of empathic concern in response to negative outcomes, but otherwise expect and infer that vicarious emotions are connected to social relationships."

Brilliant new paper argues against the "don't trust the research" narrative in the replication crisis literature. #PhilSci #MetaSci #DevPsyc #Psychology 🧪 philsci-archive.pitt.edu/22679/

🚨 Dr. Ming, I, & others have a new article in Developmental Psychology! In a 3-year longitudinal study, we found that school adults who engaged in more racial socialization engaged in fewer suspensions for minor infractions & improved school climates for all students. #PsySciSky #EduSky

Very relevant for the #devpsyc feed.

I am familiar with school-based interventions focused on improving intergroup relations (e.g., reducing prejudice), but I haven’t found similar family-based interventions. Any suggestions? 🤔 #devpsyc #socialpsyc #prejudiceresearch P.S. If you follow me on X, my apologies for the double post 😉
