An important finding from our recent study in Psych Science. Our main finding was that telling white Christians about anti-Christian bias made them perceive more anti-white bias. But we also found the same effect for political rhetoric about “religious freedom.” journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Excited to share a new preprint (accepted for publication in Group Processes and Intergroup Relations)! In prior work, we've found that thinking about God increase cross-religious prosociality. Here we ask: But what about when intergroup conflict is salient? osf.io/preprints/ps...

I understand the intuitive appeal of attempting to appear 'fair and balanced.' But if the underlying reality is unequal, failing to point that out is just misinforming readers.

We have couple of new papers from the lab, (1) on how Black and Asian parents engage in what we call collective racial socialization: psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...; and (2) how hair texture might matter for how children invisibilize Black women: psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

In the American political context, concerns of anti-Christian bias can be signals of concerns of anti-White bias. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

In our new Psych Science article (led by @marahalkire.bsky.social & Chad MIller w/ Sam Perry & Clara Wilkins), we show that this type of rhetoric, which highlights the perception of Christians being under threat, can serve as an effective racial dog whistle. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

In a flagrantly Christian nationalist video, Trump just promoted a "God Bless the USA" Bible and stated “Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country...Our country is going haywire, we’ve lost religion in our country.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=noez...

🧵 Excited to share our recent work published in Psych Science! We show that talk of anti-Christian bias leads White Christians to perceive anti-White bias & this can be leveraged as a dog whistle by politicians to signal allegiance to Whites. 1/ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This week at SPSP a poster spread flagrantly Islamophobic ideas under the guise of free scientific inquiry. It was offensive, more ideological (hateful) than scientific, and beyond the bounds. To think that just a year ago we were in a full fledged debate about the merit of diversity statements.
