Why did antisemitism rise in Germany during the Covid pandemic? And why was this increase concentrated among political centrists, rather than on the fringes?

Can culture help to explain prejudice? We (@maxschaub.bsky.social) explore this question by examining the rise of antisemitism during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.

Beyond this more narrow focus, we believe that our concepts and empirical tests hold promise to advance the study of prejudice (e.g., anti-Black resentment), and more systematically explore the role of culture therein.

We demonstrate the plausibility of this proposition in a series of tests, using text-as-data and experimental methods, plus a concept association task, among others.

Why does armed conflict harm child health?

Improving trust after conflict can potentially be life-saving.

Introduction Armed conflict severely impacts health, with indirect deaths often exceeding direct casualties two to four times, disproportionately affecting women and children. Although the magnitude o...
