secondly, starting tomorrow, several of our colleagues are to either @ the #CommPH in Munich (commph.ifkw.lmu.de) or the #MediaPsych25 in Duisburg. looking forward interesting panels, new input, and exchanging ideas with you!

3) cultural intelligence influences conscious attitudes rather than spontaneous choices, and 4) the motivation to learn boosts openness to culturally diverse content 🤓

The study was conducted together with @annafreytag.bsky.social, Annabell Halfmann, Frank M. Schneider, and Dorothée Hefner.
