Excited to share our new paper in Cognitive Development! We replicate that children punish for both retributive and consequentialist reasons — and, surprisingly, intergroup context doesn’t change these effects. tinyurl.com/ycyhcn5a Check in out! ✨

Friends, we're extending the deadline for the PB 2023 best article until April 10. PLEASE NOTE, eligible papers are those published in Vol 45 of the journal only (it's a little confusing, because most of those papers were published online first well before 2023!) nominate yourself and others!

Did you publish an article in Political Behavior in calendar year 2023? Was it the *best* article published in PB in calendar year 2023?? Please submit to find out! 😉 I'm on the committee with @jfdaoust.bsky.social and @mzarate.bsky.social. Self-nominations encouraged!

Don't forget to submit to the JEPS special issue! Deadline Nov. 1. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
