This past weekend I attended the Society for Southeastern Social Psychologist (SSSP) conference. I presented work on economic fatalism and the importance (and difficulty!) of differentiating between heartfelt expressions of collective hopelessness and strategic, unemotional ones.

So useful!
Many studies attribute the success of right-wing parties to sexism.
What is sexism? How is it measured? How does it influence elections?
My systematic review of studies on sexism as a predictor of political behavior and attitudes is about to appear in @poqjournal.bsky.social!

Feels dangerously like we’re giving Jan 6th the Lost Cause treatment (turning treasonous slavery defenders into misunderstood good ol’ boys). Moves faster with current media than late 19th century. Honestly could see a legitimate push for Jan 6th as a Federal holiday in the name of “unity” any time.

That feeling you get when one of your students’ work shows up in your feed does not get old.
When do we think the system is fair and why? Ferrés et al.’s article in our June issue explores how comparing today’s society to past conditions or future alternatives can shape how people perceive fairness and legitimacy in the system. Read the full article online: doi.org/10.1111/pops...

This is definitely good news. At the same time, it’s a bit like noting that the arson that was done should not have been done. We will need active rebuilding.

I’m not [even close to being] a lawyer but, if, based on Citizens United, “money is speech”, then actually IS the fed govt taking away money a form of regulating speech? Probably should read the article first…
An immensely important First Amendment Q right now is when the government may regulate speech by imposing conditions on federal funding. Here’s a new @knightcolumbia.org series on this topic. 1/ knightcolumbia.org/research/fed...
