🎉 Happy World #Democracy Day!

Democracy is not only about elections and policies — it's also about people feeling heard, understood & represented.

👉 At #PROTEMO, we are committed to advancing research & raising awareness on the vital role of emotions in politics, especially in times of insecurity.

Politicians often speak to our hearts.

Gabriella Szabó, deputy PI of MORES, is studying how political actors use emotional language to steer public discourse—and how that shapes our moral judgments.

We express gratitude when saying “thanks”. But it is also a moral emotion that reinforces prosocial behaviour.

Gratitude creates a sense of moral responsibility. The twist: it can draw the line between “us” & “them.”

💬 How do you experience gratitude in your community?
