Thanks so much for having me 😊 it was a real pleasure!

"A lot of the crazy things that keep happening in the world actually can make a lot of sense once you start seeing it through that lens – people get in groups and then they do weird stuff."

Yeah that's what you get when you force me to face a camera 😅 #socialpsych #psychology #AcademicSky

Results in a nutshell:

🎯 Respondents with higher futures consciousness are more supportive of all policies in general

📊 The effect is fully mediated by perceptions of policy fairness and effectiveness - but not intrusiveness

👉 Trust and concern interact, highlighting the importance of considering them both in combination.

👉 Different forms of trust and concern uniquely predict different governance preferences.

✅ Support for technocracy: lowest among those with low trust in epistemic institutions AND low concern about the health consequences of COVID-19

☑️ Support for authoritarianism: lowest among those with high trust in nonpartisan institutions AND low concern about the economic consequences of COVID-19

Also incredible proud of my 2 PhD students Anna-Marie Bertram and Jakob Schuck (@socpsychbasel.bsky.social) who gave their first international talks and absolutely nailed it 🎯

I don't want to start tagging people because I will inevitably forget someone - but people, you know who you are. You ROCK!

Those are the times where I feel most grateful for my academic job. We travel to amazing places, meet amazing people, and work together on important societal topics while enjoying the sight, the food, the dance 💃 !
