News stories that explain the goals & background of a protest and that humanize a person whose death sparked a protest caused audiences to understand the protest and social movement better
On perceived credibility measures, Republican backlash
Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hate serve as substitutes for one another in US far right groups.
In these groups, hate remains high, but the target shifts in both hateful rhetoric and hate crimes.

Do diversity trainings work?
This chapter argues that's the wrong question. Diversity training are efforts to teach. Like all teaching, we need to consider the trainings content, goals, practices & trainee needs.
Then, we can design effective trainings
I don't know anything about working at the University of Maryland, but they are hiring in Social Psych and, in a rare move, explicitly say they are interested in political psychologists
People share true or false news anticipating positive reactions from like-minded audiences and refrain from sharing to avoid upsetting politically dissimilar audiences

@mayonesa I think you may be misreading the paper. They used two samples.
Sample 1: personality measured at ages 7 and 11, ideology measured at 41-42
Sample 2: personality measured at ages 5 and 10, ideology measured at 16, 26, and 42-43
@mayonesa Those traits are not just IQ, definitely separate constructs.
They have personality measures from younger people (< 18 yo) and then see how this predicts attitudes later on in life (e.g., at age 42)

System justification theory predicts that people who are disadvantaged will justify the system more than those who are advantaged
New paper by Rebekka Kesberg, Felicity Turner-Zwinkels & co find that this holds in about 1/4th of the population in 🇫🇷🇵🇱🇪🇸🇬🇧

@paninid maybe so? I suspect it's hard to properly visualize in an intuitive way.
@paninid I don't think they'd be end points of axes, but rather 4 correlated, separate, and intersecting dimensions
White backlash against ethnic diversification results in support for anti-immigration policies.
New paper finds that it also increases support for legal abortion among racially prejudiced Whites

"Conservatism simultaneously reflects the unifying "value" of Tradition, as well as the divisive "vice" of Elitism; while Liberalism simultaneously reflects the unifying "value" of Inclusiveness, and the divisive "vice" of Rebellion."
