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.

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…)

Our systematic review & pre-registered meta-analysis of growth mindset interventions on academic achievement psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-… and our reply to commentaries is now out in Psychological Bulletin. 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.
