Congratulations to the wonderful @feitenglong.bsky.social for winning the 2025 ASPO dissertation award!

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 .

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

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology openletter.earth/against-lang...

Dat is emancipatie. Dat komt door onderwijs. En dat moeten we in stand houden.

If you weren't sure by now that the Nazi party had taken over the US, Vance's calls to be more welcoming to Europe's Nazi parties should have helped you gain some certainty.

If you're living anywhere where far-right leaders are making surprisingly fast strides, I cannot recommend this piece enough: The Chilling Consequences of Going Along With Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/o...

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

Does participating in collective action moralize one's attitudes over time, and if so, how? Happy to share that our paper is now out in JPSP! With Martijn van Zomeren, Roberto González, Ernestine Gordijn, Pia Carozzi, Michal Reifen Tagar, Belén Álvarez, Cristián Frigolett, and Eran Halperin. (1/9)

Paper just out in JASP! Anat Ruhrman's investigation of the impact of exposure to violence in an intergroup conflict on empathy towards the outgroup, with @ericmshuman.bsky.social , Jojanneke van der Toorn, Eran Halperin and yours truly. tinyurl.com/mrddk9zp

I was angry. I wrote a thing. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/...

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

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

@lhoenig.bsky.social 's groundbreaking project (the first from her PhD, with me and @dedreu.bsky.social ) is out, in JEP:G no less! See the comments for open access links.

New EJSP editorial team, new (updated) guidelines! See them here, and come submit your work to us! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

10 years after participating in the Lisbon edition, I'm truly excited to attend the EASP summer school again, this time as teacher, alongside @iborinca.bsky.social. Apply by 29.2 for our psych of violent interethnic conflict workshop, or any of the other workshops, all taught by fabulous scholars.

Five days left to apply to a PhD position with two of the best, loveliest researchers out there: @leticiarmicheli.bsky.social and @aromano.bsky.social

Out now on Psych Inquiry is my commentary on the interesting claim by Pinsof et al. (2023) that morality does not factor into ideologies. The issue also features great commentaries by @mjbsp.bsky.social , @cmfederico.bsky.social and many others.
