🚨New Paper🚨
Elections create winners & losers among citizens. But how do we encourage losers to cooperate with new leaders or rally cooperation between winners and losers after a bitterly fought election? This is vital for democracy, especially in polarizing times.

In our Special Issue paper, we adopted a multidimensional lens of social identity to examine the bidirectional link between media use and identity among Muslim adolescents. We found stronger within-person effects for media-to-identity, rather than identity-to-media, pathways. #commsky
