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...

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.
