Intergroup conflict erodes trust and cooperation at both the individual and societal levels, hinders effective societal functioning and threatens the well-being of individuals.
This new paper describes the critical features necessary for successful intergroup interventions. Specifically, they consider the importance of identifying meaningful intervention goals (what), crucial characteristics of intervention recipients (who) and key contextual features (where) for optimizing interventions.
A huge challenge is motivation: many people are often reluctant to engage in intergroup interventions and to change their deeply ingrained worldviews and perspectives. I see this all the time. We don't want to engage with people different than ourselves.
Therefore, intergroup interventions that accentuate a value important to individuals and provide people with a sense of positive identity and worth might be effective in contexts where an individual’s positive identity is threatened.

“If Roe v. Wade can fall, anything can fall. Social Security can fall. Medicare can fall. Voting rights can fall. And God help us all, but democracy itself can fall,” says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Calling people "toxic" is rarely helpful. It focuses on their impact instead of their actions.
Toxicity comes in 5 flavors: disrespectful, dishonest, cutthroat, exclusionary, and abusive.
A good warning pinpoints patterns of behavior that are problematic and persistent.

The core question of identity is not who others think you should be. It's who you aspire to be.
70 studies: Mental health depends more on living up to your ideals than to others' expectations.
Closing the gap between your actions and your values is a source of well-being.

Is @tiktok_us a reliable source of health information? No. This study of autism videos finds that 73% were inaccurate or overgeneralized, especially videos by creators who weren't autistic or health care practitioners. (📄 link.springer.com/article/10…)

I'm beyond proud that our paper "Unconditional cash transfers reduce homelessness" is published at @PNASNews today! This is the most ambitious project I've ever done, and it truly took a village for the last 7 years 🥳❤️🧵

A (long) thread.

When you burn people out, you push them out. Stars are the first to leave—they have the most opportunities.
The solution is not to pile on the perks. It’s to pinpoint the root causes of overload and design more manageable jobs.
If you want to keep people, stop exhausting them.

You’ll want to read this research if you care about resilience and mental health.

Great paper for teaching & learning. Tell students: “Your goal is to feel awkward and uncomfortable.”
Giving an explicit goal of aiming to feel uncomfortable in order to grow makes folks persist in classes, write better, seek out more info & learn more from political opponents.

It was delightful to talk to @danbharris @10percent about two of my favorite things: mindfulness and algorithms!
New podcast: @wharton Prof. @LindseyDCameron asks: can Uber workers can feel autonomy and freedom even though the work is ultimately being dictated by an algorithm? And much more about mindfulness in the work place. Hosted by @danbharris - Listen now: link.chtbl.com/-A8Drf7a

"this short period of meditation reduced how guilty people felt, and this reduction in guilt went on to explain why people who meditated felt less motivated to pay back people they had harmed, compared to control condition participants" ow.ly/k8v850JJL1N via @Forbes

🚨 Here is the video of my @TEDTalks -like presentation on how small amounts of meditation in specific situations can change your life. Often for the better, but occasionally for the worse. You just need to know when it is helpful and when it isn't. youtube.com/watch?v=S5ddLeEV…
