Today, we hosted Fanny Lalot from the University of Basel. She shared research on how local vs. national trust impacts outcomes like vaccination and, volunteering, and how trust shifts after collective action, depending on whether one's political group wins or loses. Timely talk! #PoliticalTrust

Great talk last Wednesday by SWPS University’s Dominika Bulska (PhD) on how agency, morality, status, and perpetratorhood shape blatant dehumanization—showing agency matters more for low-status groups, while morality matters more for perpetrator groups.

Thrilled to share our new publication in the International Journal of Intercultural Relations! We found that fear of war can strengthen support for refugee policies when empathy is present. What truly undermines support are symbolic threats, which erode empathy and fuel hostility.

📢 New publication in PSPB! We tracked Poles over 3 waves to examine how closeness to Ukrainian refugees and threat perceptions shape each other. Feeling closer reduced both threat types—but only realistic threat (e.g. jobs, services) predicted less closeness over time. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/0146...
