- What if you find out your own brother is a thief? We asked how people respond when a close other commits a moral transgression. -> It gets people to feel both as the victim + as the perpetrator & changes what punishment they seek. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #socialpsyc #PsychSciSky

- Reposted by Nadira FaberDid Trump’s 2024 re-election make it okay to be openly prejudiced? New work from @chriscrandall.bsky.social suggests it did. The more negatively Trump spoke about a group, the more okay it became to express prejudice (and the more prejudiced people were) towards that group after the election.

- Why do people oppose plant-based alternatives to meat? We find it has a lot to do with a symbolic association between meat & masculinity. And with sexism. Open access in SPPS with A. Salmen, V. Krings, & @kristofdhontphd.bsky.social #socialpsyc journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
- Reposted by Nadira Faber🧵1/4 New paper alert! psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... Can you celebrate diversity while undermining it? Our new paper in American Psychologist discusses how people/organizations can appear committed to diversity while their conceptualizations of diversity actively undercut it.
- Reposted by Nadira Fabermy great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing. they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors. their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen. their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

This changed dramatically with the arrival of humans, who have become the dominant species through our own population, as well as the animals we breed and raise for food. What is the distribution of the global mammal kingdom today?
