Basargekar et al. (2024) find a sensitization effect for individuals with autism and speculate (albeit without data to support) it could be dehumanization/infantilization. Not sure I would put all of my eggs in that basket, but a similar paternalistic account could potentially explain our data too.

I've half a dozen ideas but nothing concrete and not nearly enough words to unpack them. Could be the group, could be the ppts, could be a shift in the literature. None of the mechanisms we tested panned out (hardship, SDO, empathy). It's striking considering how refugees are treated in reality.

I really like my Branch chair. For the price it's great, and arguably more comfortable than my Herman Miller at work. If the HM wasn't provided, I'm sure I wouldn't have purchased one (so expensive!). The main difference, that I can tell, is fewer knobs and levers.
