Solidarity with refugees depends on refugee‘s origin and gender. Partly explained through a similarity->threat link. We discuss this as a psychological expression of neocolonial geopolitics.

Wissenschaftsministerin ein massiver fail. Ideologisch, dumm, und in der Sache so falsch wie im Amt unprofessionell. Anstatt sachlich nüchtern die Professorin vor Diffamierungen & gegen 1 Kampagne zu schützen, wirft sie diese erneut dem geifernden Polit-Mob zum Fraß hin.

Kurz: Die #Grundwasserneubildung💧 kackt vielerorts ab.
👉 Leider halt wieder sone Nachricht, die kaum Aufmerksamkeit bekommen wird, da es ja in den letzten 2 Wochen *etwas* geregnet 🌧 hat.
Und warum auch, geht ja grundsätzlich nur um unsere wichtigste Lebensgrundlage. 🤷‍♂️

Neben der Dürre tragen Landwirtschaft und Braunkohleabbau zur Knappheit bei. Daten zur Grundwassernutzung sind oft unzureichend.

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀

Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯

A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛

Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

Ich habe in letzter Zeit Gespräche mit Mitarbeitenden der Agentur für Arbeit geführt. Sie schienen alle genervt vom Begriff der „Totalverweigerer“, weil es die praktisch nicht gibt.
Entweder hat niemand dieser Politiker:innen je mit Mitarbeitenden der Ämter gesprochen. Oder sie sagen die Unwahrheit.

✏️ New Paper: Prejudice towards (Black/Muslim) refugees predicts fear of crime more strongly than vice versa.

Recent debates about increasing deportation are therefore likely to increase fear of crime, not lower it.

Research suggests that social fear of crime and prejudice towards minority groups may be linked. We investigated (Ntotal = 7712) whether prejudice towards a social group that is stereotyped as more c...

That "polarization" from the right is more dangerous seems obvious given current world events. In order study such asymmetries in multiparty systems, we need an understanding of the dividing lines in them.

depending on where people stand - for instance, more polarized ppl from the left, mainstream and center camps reject dictatorial rule more strongly (than their less polarized counterparts), whereas ➕polarization ~ ➕pro-dictatorship attitudes among right, rightwing pop, and extreme ppl!
Shows a heatmap of correlations between affective polarization and four democratic attitudes (democratic satisfaction, turnout, institutional trust, attitude toward dictatorial rule). These four correlations are shown for the whole sample and for respondents of the six political camps identified before. Correlations differ starkly between those camps, with similar patterns for left, mainstream and center respondents and for right, rightwing populist, and extreme respondents.

...people are polarized along one of three divides: left vs. right, mainstream vs. rightwing, and center vs. extreme.
On each divide, somewhat different issues predict membership in the opposing camps.

Importantly, affective polarization has diverging correlations with democratic attitudes...

In multiparty political systems, such as Germany, it's often hard to tell who is actually polarized against whom. I suggest a set of methods (correlational class analysis followed by latent profile analysis) and use it to answer this question using @gles.bsky.social data.
