The manuscript led by amazing @fmsmallfield.bsky.social is a part of the special issue on "Double Standards in Migration, Ethnicity, and Intergroup Relations".

Brought to you also by @arothers.bsky.social and colleagues 😎

In any case, further research is warranted to figure out what is going on (no exception to the rule "non-significant results push science further")
One thing that is consistent across studies & contexts is the role of perception of similarity and threat: spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Not the findings researchers usually like to get 😅 but I loved it! Although it was difficult to explain, it made us think hard about other potential factors, such as context sensitivity and timings of data collection.

What did we find? Well, it's complicated 😄 We found one consistency: there is a selective solidarity effect - Germans express more solidarity with Ukrainian than Afghan, Syrian and Eritrean refugees. But! We found inconsistencies in the moderating roles of ideology and glorification.

What a way to kick-off vacation! 🤩

Our paper on the role of ideology and national glorification in selective solidarity with refugees (finally) got published in the International Journal of Social Psychology (y también está disponible en español)!

Proud to announce that our paper with Mortada Al-Amine, “Who holds the banner ‘Never Again’? The effects of protesters’ identity and audiences’ ideology on perceived unfairness of police treatment”, has been published in the International Journal of Social Psychology.

New pub! 📝
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.

Researchers in Darwin added First Nations seasonal calendars to solar irradiance forecasting and came up with some vastly improved results.

Tomorrow we bring together editors with ECRs! Come and ask your questions to @mjbsp.bsky.social, @lizsuhay.bsky.social, @rezartabilali.bsky.social, and Ana Figueiredo!

@polpsyispp.bsky.social maybe next year don’t have people present 2 or even 3 papers but rather have more people accepted to present one. Very unfair what you did this year.

Also, in the language of the (huge) money: you also get more. Win-win isn’t it

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

We got annoyed by people (mainly politicians) saying „Europe“ when they mean the „EU“. So we wrote a paper 🤓

Stay tuned for upcoming qualitative findings on social representations of Europe, along with more direct measures of their impact on relevant outcomes 😉

This neglects the actual diversity of Europe and carries significant consequences at societal, political, and geopolitical levels.
This study, that started with my annoyance with people in Germany talking of Europe but never meaning my own country 🙂was a first step 👇

We offer a social-psychological explanation of this mechanism by drawing on the ingroup projection model, demonstrating that "Europe" is predominantly defined in Western European terms—thereby marginalizing those who do not align with this prototype. 👇

Critical scholars (especially in critical European studies) have increasingly pointed to the issues of othering of the East (and Southeast) and consequences this neocolonial approach to defining spaces and belonging has. 👇

🚨 Publication alert 🚨
Happy to have our paper published in the Journal of Contemporary European Studies! With truly one & only amazing @fmsmallfield.bsky.social, and Christopher Cohrs

Get in touch if you have an idea for a Special Issue. We are keen to support research by ECRs & amplify the work of scholars from underrepresented fields & backgrounds.

Happy to share we were awarded a Collaborative grant by the EASP to study the transformative effects of prefigurative politics in the context of the anti-corruption protests in Serbia! 😍 SO MUCH looking forward to this research with the most amazing people 👇

I agree that fascism is an ideology not just a certain set of regimes or methods. The ideology of fascism did not exist before the 1920s but the ideology of colonialism, which says certain races are inferior and legitimate targets for exploitation and elimination, did, and it influenced fascism.

We compare and contrast how, in 1936, Columbia University expelled a student for staging anti-Nazi protests and how Columbia has now punished 22 students for protesting against Israel's war on Gaza.

What a week for this to be published, though never not "timely": On "Collective Action Under Repressive Conditions: Integration of Individual, Group, and Structural Level Research, Recommendations, and Reflections" -led by Arin Ayanian, open access here: spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
