6/ Interestingly, CR and PT alone were not effective.
However, when paired with matching VR perspectives Palestinians' POV for PT, and a bystander POV for CR, we observed:
๐น Increased peace-promoting emotions (PT)
๐น Reduced peace-hindering emotions (CR)
Proud to share this important work led by our lab member @RenanaAtia !
1/6 What is needed for counter-stereotypical media representation of minorities to reduce #stereotypes and #prejudice?
Our new publication in @mediapsychMEP examines how expressing surprise in framing counter-stereotypes can improve intergroup relations ๐ฒ

So proud of our new paper! We try to explain what hope is and how it could be measured. We offer a comprehensive overview of the Bidimensional Model of Hope, which describes hope in its most nucleus form and thus enables an understanding of hope in the broadest scope possible.
The article is open access, so you can dive right in - doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1โฆ

Thrilled to present at #ECPRGC24 tomorrow on the panel discussing the emotional undercurrents of affective polarization! Iโm eager to hear your thoughtful comments and insights. Letโs connect! @ECPR @ECPR_AffPol @PICRLab @eranh75_eran

Replying to @ClancySabina
@ClancySabina is my academic sister and a close friend. We both had our challenging experiences of violent conflicts, and in many ways we share similar motivations, values and goals when we study them. Thatโs why itโs so great to publish that paper in @NatRevPsych on intergroup interventions together with Sabina. We have tried here to review this exciting new literature, but also to offer new model and roadmap for future work. Very proud of that work! @PICRLab
Beyond excited to share our new paper @PICRLab on Intergroup Interventions out in @NatRevPsych where we show how to optimize interventions for improving intergroup relations

Check out the first article by Nitzan, one of our lab's young and promising students! Fascinating research on how Ukrainian President Zelensky's personality traits can influence public empathy and pro-social behavior toward Ukrainians. #Ukraine #Zelensky
Super excited to share my first published paper as a co-author (along with Meital Balmas & @eranh75_eran) "The Warm War: The Effect of Ukrainian Presidentโs Communal Personality Traits on Empathy and Pro-Social Behavior towards the Ukrainians" at JCR:tiny.cc/x6aeyz.๐งต๐
Super relevant and important paper on the role of emotion norms in conflict dynamics. It showed that emotional norms in one's political group are strongly related to policy support. A great reminder of the complex factors at play in conflict resolution. Highly recommended reading
New paper with Noga Mostovoy & @eranh75_eran on the importance of perceived emotion norms in shaping policy attitudes

When @sandra_penic , Noga @PICRLab and I started working on that project, we could not imagine how relevant it could be. Now, in times in which the clear norm is against intergroup empathy, and a strong social norm is in favor of intergroup hate, this paper becomes so important!
