Up next, a tremendous paper led by @shirahebelsela.bsky.social

finding that a semester-long virtual contact intervention improved attitudes, reduced dehumanization, and increased self-outgroup overlap among non-Muslim and Muslim students

Thank you!!

Thanks!

Working on this project and hearing stories from my advisor
@boazhameiri.bsky.social
who was his post doc helped me get to know Emile better. His vision for using science to foster peace continues and will continue to guide my research.

This project holds special meaning as it was initiated by the late Emile Bruneau. Although I never met him, it was truly special to work on something he started. He has been an incredible inspiration to me and to our entire field.

In this large-scale field study (N=2,886) we show that semester-long virtual
between American and Muslim students significantly improves intergroup relations and reduces dehumanization and meta-dehumanization

My second publication is a field experiment published
@commspsychol.bsky.social
with @boazhameiri.bsky.social,

Our framework proposes tailoring interventions by considering three critical factors: desired outcomes, power dynamics, and ideology—dimensions that are many times overlooked but can be crucial for effectiveness.

In this chapter with
@boazhameiri.bsky.social
and
@eranhalperin75.bsky.social ,we challenge the prevalent "one-size-fits-all" approach to psychological intergroup interventions that dominates the field today.
