Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel we find nuanced effects of terrorism on Muslims in Germany: More educated and more integrated respondents are less likely to feel discriminated against after attacks, compared to those with lower levels of education or integration.

🎉 Very happy to share that our paper with Judit Ralbovszki got accepted at the Journal of Peace Research!

Most research focuses on the effect of terrorism on majority attitudes, but what about the minorities who often become targets of backlash?

Now out in  @NatureComms

The Covid-19 pandemic prompted major shifts in social behaviors. Did social norms also change?

Data from 30,431 respondents (43 countries) shows little indication of substantial changes in most social norms.
