🚨New Paper🚨
Elections create winners & losers among citizens. But how do we encourage losers to cooperate with new leaders or rally cooperation between winners and losers after a bitterly fought election? This is vital for democracy, especially in polarizing times.

🚨New Paper 🚨
There is no shortage of interventions to address self-control in education or employee performance. Yet, they rarely address the core problem of whether individuals have the capacity to exert self-control (e.g., poor financial well-being; challenging life events). (1/3)

🚨New Paper 🚨
In our Special Issue paper, we adopted a multidimensional lens of social identity to examine the bidirectional link between media use and identity among Muslim adolescents. We found stronger within-person effects for media-to-identity, rather than identity-to-media, pathways. #commsky
