"A lot of the crazy things that keep happening in the world actually can make a lot of sense once you start seeing it through that lens – people get in groups and then they do weird stuff."

Yeah that's what you get when you force me to face a camera 😅 #socialpsych #psychology #AcademicSky

Results in a nutshell:

🎯 Respondents with higher futures consciousness are more supportive of all policies in general

📊 The effect is fully mediated by perceptions of policy fairness and effectiveness - but not intrusiveness

Fanny Lalot @fannylalot.bsky.social · 16d

📢 New paper alert - hot off the press in #JEVP ! In our latest piece from the BIODIFUL project, we investigate how #FuturesConsciousness relates to acceptance of strong pro-environmental policies.

Effective, fair or Intrusive? The role of futures consciousness in environmental policy acceptance

As the current environmental crisis unfolds, there is an increasing call for stronger governmental action to accelerate societal transformation. The c…

👉 Trust and concern interact, highlighting the importance of considering them both in combination.

👉 Different forms of trust and concern uniquely predict different governance preferences.

Fanny Lalot @fannylalot.bsky.social · Sep 3

✅ Support for technocracy: lowest among those with low trust in epistemic institutions AND low concern about the health consequences of COVID-19

☑️ Support for authoritarianism: lowest among those with high trust in nonpartisan institutions AND low concern about the economic consequences of COVID-19

Fanny Lalot @fannylalot.bsky.social · Sep 3

New paper out! W/ Silvia Russo & Michele Roccato, we give a new twist to the distrustful complacency hypothesis - testing how it predicts preference for #authoritarian and #technocratic governance.

🔗 Read it #openaccess here: academic.oup.com/ijpor/articl...

Support for Technocratic and Authoritarian Governance in Times of Crisis: The Role of Trust and COVID-19 Concerns

Abstract. There is a dearth of research into the combined effect of political trust and societal concern on preferences for different models of governance.

Also incredible proud of my 2 PhD students Anna-Marie Bertram and Jakob Schuck (@socpsychbasel.bsky.social) who gave their first international talks and absolutely nailed it 🎯

I don't want to start tagging people because I will inevitably forget someone - but people, you know who you are. You ROCK!

Fanny Lalot @fannylalot.bsky.social · Jun 25

Those are the times where I feel most grateful for my academic job. We travel to amazing places, meet amazing people, and work together on important societal topics while enjoying the sight, the food, the dance 💃 !

🫠 Still swirling a bit after 2 intense weeks that brought me to Latvia/Lithuania/Italy, between #ICEP2025 and #FINT2025.

Two fairly different conferences in size / topics / crowds. But also like-minded: working hard for the best science, benevolent, and especially caring of young scholars. 🧡
