New article! We combined psychometrics and natural language processing to study traditional and alternative medicine in Peru.
2,700+ reasons were analyzed to develop a comprehensive psychological taxonomy and identify distinct rhetorical patterns across 16 practices.
New article!
We used magnetic resonance imaging to identify a negative correlation between insula volume and social dominance orientation, a preference for hierarchical relationships between social groups that underlies ideologies such as neoliberalism.

Publicamos con @FasceAngelo en Scientific Reports nuestro estudio sobre refutación de medicina alternativa en Perú. Evaluamos intervenciones empáticas vs. estándar. Ambas reducen razones de uso; la comunicación empática mejora la percepción del médico.

New article in npj Vaccines!
In collaboration with @CpssRomania, we conducted a field test with physicians and patients, testing two communication techniques to address vaccine hesitancy: the empathetic-refutational interview and motivational interviewing.
Vaccination appointments after the conversation with physicians were also higher than in the control group: +28% in the case of the empathic refutation interview and 34% in the motivational interview group.

As a robustness check, these brain areas also correlated negatively with ideological variables related to their respective forms of authoritarianism (i.e., radical feminism, cultural feminism, and social dominance orientation).
