New paper out from our research group:
When does #food act as a #SocialSurrogate? The interplay of #NeedToBelong and #SocialContext

#OpenAccess
#Appetite

We show that the need to belong and social context shape how much people eat.

Right-wing authoritarianism linked to perceived threat from minoritized groups, but national context matters

Individuals with strong right-wing authoritarian beliefs are more likely to perceive minoritized groups as a threat. This relationship was weaker in countries with higher religiosity or social marginalization, highlighting the influence of sociocultural context on authoritarian attitudes.

Two of the hardest things for me about speaking into the noisy voids of social networks are:

1. Most people won’t know your context at all

2. People reading what I write will be in such vastly different contexts and mindspaces and I can’t know that either

We need #SocialContext to build relationships. I find that lack very strange, every time.
