An interesting research idea of how games can help us develop our gender identity. #PsychSciSky #SocialPsych #ResearchSky #AcademicSky #LGBT+ #RPG

How to measure structural racism? There are so many possibilities! Here's a recent review: buff.ly/PqgdQQ4 #PsychSciSky #SocialPsych #ResearchSky #AcademicSky #systemicracism

[1/2] Both men and women videogame players tend to endorse a representation of masculinity that includes aggression and the suppression of emotions, according to a 2019 study. This has negative implications for society as a whole, by encouraging toxic behaviour. Source: buff.ly/ytjczQ3

The abstinence cures advocated by certain masculinist circles (NoFap) could have dramatic consequences for men : - strong negative emotions, - suicidal thoughts. The study: scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=f... #SocialPsych #PsychSciSky #ClinicalPsych

A very interesting review on the links between social class and mental health Currently, the strongest evidence links lower social positions to depression. #SocialPsychology #PsychSciSky #ClinicalPsychology

Racism (and all forms of discrimination) has a major impact on health. Williams & Mohammed (2013) proposed an interesting framework for studying these complex phenomena. #socialpsych #healthpsych #psychscisky

Stereotypically male professions are also perceived as being the most prestigious. This has an impact on children's career plans. #psychscisky #socialpsych Based on Jaoul-Grammare, 2024.

"Racial trauma is just trauma with racism" It's a bit more complicated! #psychscisky #healthpsych Based on Cénat, 2023.

Even "little racist jokes", "innocent" remarks or snobbish looks have an impact on the health of minorities. These racist microaggressions contribute to depression and can lead to suicide. #socialpsych #psychscisky

A different perspective on the reaction of parents of LGBT+ children. It provides a better understanding of how their own identity evolves after disclosure. #socialpsychology Figure and source: buff.ly/QHBtiXX

According to a 2023 study, the identity of white nationalist groups is more fluid than we think. Even if they consider race to be fixed and biological, they frequently debate the boundaries of what is "white" or not. Ironically, their own discussions reaffirm that race is a social construct.

The far right has an ambivalent relationship with authority: both anti-elitist and authoritarian. Even if these attitudes are contradictory, they both respond to the feeling of insecurity fostered by the rhetoric of the far right. #socialpsychology Figure and ref in: buff.ly/d584Vu9

Imagining yourself in contact with a different group can help to form a shared identity. Perhaps video or role-playing games could be good ways of combating discrimination. #socialpsychology Figure and results from Hu et al. 2025: buff.ly/bNFuqWJ

Incels are often seen as White. Yet some identify as Black or Asian. Incel rhetoric builds on this, using concepts such as ‘racepill’, which mainly push to make one's racial identity invisible (‘just be white’). It raises the question of intersectionality in the incel context. #socialpsychology

There is consistent evidence that discrimination is associated with poorer sleep. It could be due to stress and worry. This relationship appears to be independent of depression (a disorder that is also often linked to discrimination and sleep). #mentalhealth

Discrimination appears to - increase the risk of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, - increase the severity of symptoms - reduce the quality of recovery. This does not seem to be due to treatment underutilization, according to a 2019 study. #PTSD

Black children are seen as more adult than white children. This is called adultification. It contributes to the perception that the use of force by the police is more justified, threatening the protection of young people. #socialpsychology

Against all expectations (irony), there is no link between immigration and crime. #sociology #economy #immigration #criminality #discrimination

A burden of poverty (among others). Low socio-economic status is associated with poorer brain and cognitive development. This could be due to increased stress and a less stimulating environment. #psychology #neuroscience #socialscience

Benevolent and hostile #sexism across different domains. It clearly highlights the complexity of discrimination! #equality #discrimination #socialpsychology #psychology

This diagram illustrates the many areas in which sexism has been studied. By extension, it gives an overview of the many aspects of our lives that are affected by sexism. #SocialPsych #sexism

Intersectionality challenges the way we study identity in psychology. Yet it seems to be essential to highlight human complexity. Maybe reinvesting in the field of cross-categorisation would be beneficial too. #SocialPsych #psychology #minority #intersectionnality #identity #diversity

Rediscovering ecological systems theory! I think it may be useful to highlight the complexity of some phenomena, such as discrimination and its systemic part. #SocialPsych #discrimination #racism #sexism #minority #psychology

Conscientization of social cryptomnesia may help · to enhance positive attitude toward activist groups, · to reduce hostile behaviours. Social cryptomnesia is certainly one of those concepts that deserves more attention. #SocialPsych #sexism #feminism #minority

Better words for better work. As gender is a complex and moving concept, getting an accurate terminology is essential. Here is an interesting proposition of @floralashes.bsky.social about trans/cis dichotomy. #SocialPsych #gender #LGBTQIA+ #sociology

An interesting study about how intergroup friendship can help majority members to fit emotionally with minority members. doi.org/10.1016/j.ij... #socialpsyc #immigration #interculturality #minority

Radical-right populism, specifically, is the strongest determinant for the propensity to spread misinformation.

Look at the color of people! Colorblindness is a common way to deal with racism. But this apparent benevolence is detrimental to inclusion and the fight against discrimination. 👇 Sources in comment

An interesting study of how we manage potentially contradictory identities. Here about gay Muslims men in Pakistan.

Poverty is a burden in so many ways. Poverty can reduce cognitive functioning, possibly because of cognitive load, perpetuating poverty through poorer decision-making. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
