This is 1/4 of Israel's ENTIRE population, including children. On the streets. Think how many protests you agreed with but didn't join in on. Israelis REJECT Netanyahu's war. They want the hostages back and the genocide and starvation over.

Can emotion regulation interventions spread from treated to non-treated people in a group? We examine this question in a paper published in @naturecomms.bsky.social, led by Michael Pinus and Yajun Cao. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Following the implementation of policies that were the "extreme version far beyond mainstream conservative positions" people in Israel shifted to the left on issues onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #socpsyc #polisky
Abstract for a paper that reads, How does the rise of ideologically extreme leaders affect attitudes and beliefs among their supporters? Previous research on paradoxical thinking suggests that when individuals are exposed to a radicalized version of their held beliefs, they moderate them in response. However, it is yet unknown whether, how, and among whom, such moderation occurs in response to radicalization of individuals' favored leaders. The proposed study examines how an unfolding real-world manifestation of a paradoxical thinking intervention—that is, the radical and extreme policies carried out by the newly elected Israeli government—affects the political attitudes of the government's supporters. Using a longitudinal design, we examined how pre-election attitudes (N = 589 government supporters) moderate, radicalize, or remain unchanged following the announcement and implementation of radical policies. Over four time points, we also examine the psychological mechanisms mediating the policies' moderating impact, to disentangle the reciprocal or paradoxical effects of radicalization among leaders on the public.

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)

Political hope, anyone? When are leaders go fascist, previous supporters of those leaders actually go less fascist.
