#PMIG2025 and #SESP2025 were great: inspiring talks, plenty of time for networking, and taking place in beautiful Lisbon.
Hopefully the two conferences will continue to take place in Europe from time to time..? 😇

In many countries, mainstream politicians are adopting rhetoric and policies that typical of the far-right.

Our new paper (w/ @dziblatt.bsky.social and E Dinas), out now in the @bjpols.bsky.social, finds that doing so erodes norms more than when far-right politicians make similar statements.

Köhler et al. (incl. @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social) developed the "Moral Perspectives & Foundations Scale" & found that perspective-specific moral foundations do a better job at predicting political outcomes than perspectives or MFTs alone.

Wann hat das eigentlich angefangen, dass die Kommunikation wissenschaftspolitischer Funktionsorganisationen diesen reißerisch sportifizierten Sound angenommen hat?
War schon mal besser unterhalten.
