When someone engages in prosocial behavior, do they (de)motivate their romantic partner to do the same? And are men or women affected more by their partner’s prosocial behavior? Marieke Voorpostel and I try to answer these questions in our new preprint: doi.org/10.31235/osf... (1/6)

On my way back from Barcelona where I enjoyed the wonderful weather, swam in a rooftop pool, celebrated my 29th birthday, ate lots of patatas bravas and presented work with @klararaiber.bsky.social on intentions to provide care to neighbors at #ECSR2024
