Just read this 🗞️, thanks to a post from @michelletwali.bsky.social

@rezartabilali.bsky.social tells is straight:

Without context, we can be exacerbating conflict

@helpingkidslab.bsky.social folks, a great read

@pacjournal.bsky.social welcomes articles with this context embedded!
In this commentary in Nat. Rev. Psych, I reflect on the need to bring sociopolitical/historical contexts more centrally into soc. psych research on conflict. Reflections draw on tensions I've faced in my work, and critical feedback from participants, practitioners, and colleagues: rdcu.be/etk1f
