Public opinion shifts affect cardiovascular responses during political speech
Public opinion shifts affect cardiovascular responses during political speech
Speaking about migration can be stressful, but a study in Psychophysiology suggests that the direction of public opinion shapes how that stress is experienced. Political ideology influences whether people interpret shifting views as a challenge or a threat.

Four studies show protest alliances boost advantaged groups' support for change. When advantaged allies support (not lead), disadvantaged groups feel respected—indirectly raising support for change and lowering polarisation. #socialpsychology #politicalpsychology #politics #socialchange

Check out our new preprint! Together with @pruthie.bsky.social and Daan Scheepers, we found people are challenged when their opinion-based group grows, but threatened when it shrinks. We measured challenge and threat motivational states using ECG, ICG, and blood pressure.

My first side project with @feitenglong.bsky.social is also out in BJSP!
In brief: We implemented recent theorising on the potential influences of ingroup norms on outgroup solidarity in the Dutch context. The consistent finding is that only leftists were susceptible to these norms.
