New Yorkers get to make history next week. And as with all things on this particular point in history, it's complicated. @noayachot.bsky.social masterfully presents the particular complexities for Jewish New Yorkers in the excellent long-read: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That blood-chilling threat you're feeling now? Even small ideological change away from you is threatening, shaping our cardiovascular reapinses, as we find in this Psychophysiology paper led by @feitenglong.bsky.social .

After 16 months of continuous bad news, the absolute evil of this morning's news still managed to shock me: The U.S. president explicitly called for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, to the obvious delight of Netanyahu, but also of Israel's "opposition" leaders. Pasaran?

Fellow social psychologists, I need your help! Can you recommend an intro Social Psych textbook that a. was published this decade b. is _not_ incredibly U.S. focused ? Or, if you can't, could you repost?

@lhoenig.bsky.social 's groundbreaking project (the first from her PhD, with me and @dedreu.bsky.social ) is out, in JEP:G no less! See the comments for open access links.

Laura Hoenig@lhoenig.bsky.social

Thanks to JEP:G, my collab. Ruthie Pliskin & Carsten De Dreu, and some constructive reviewers, our paper sees the light of day! Honoring that humans often have multiple public goods in which they can choose to invest resources, we explore the realm of ✨multiple-public-goods provision problems✨
