Join us for the Intervention Science Preconference at SPSP! 🔊Data blitz applications are due Oct 17. 💰I'm excited to announce that this year we are partnering with @TheAgencyFund to award $10,000 for research on agency-based interventions for social impact (apps open in Nov)!

Welcoming a new Research Lab in Psychology: Hello from all of us here at the Future Learning and MEmory Lab (FLAME Lab UIC) ! We are a new lab at University of Illinois Chicago and are excited to introduce ourselves to the Chicago community. #UIC #UICPsychology

I'll do a thread soon on our contribution to this awesome handbook on Psychological Intergroup Interventions, but in the meantime, you can get a taste with a preprint of our chapter, "Diversity Training is Just Teaching"! https://t.co/EFD3SJekTu

Interested in effective interventions to improve intergroup relations after violent conflicts? Check out the chapter from Marta Witkowska, @Michal_Bilewicz and @ClancySabina in the new @routledgebooks handbook "Psychological Intergroup Interventions". https://t.co/25hmJCjBIg

Exciting new book! How can insights from psychology improve intergroup relations? It covers a wide range of interventions - together with @shirah_94 and @BoazHameiri I contributed to a chapter on paradoxical interventions

Very proud of that book. It’s a simple and comprehensive overview of the state of the art of studies on intergroup interventions. A fantastic book for anyone studying or implementing such interventions in the field. Thanks for all authors and especially @BoazHameiri @reblitt

Interested in buying the book?

Part 2: Platforms (schools, mass media, interactive media) Chapters discuss platforms through which intergroup interventions from Part 1 can be disseminated. While not an exhaustive list, we think these platforms have great potential in terms of impact & reach!

Part 1: Interventions (e.g., intergroup contact, social norms, emotion regulation) Chapters include theoretical rationale, short overview of empirical evidence, on what & for whom intervention is effective, main barriers & open questions, and practical tips for implementing.

@eranh75_eran @BoazHameiri This book is for scholars & practitioners who: - want to learn more about the theory & evidence for intergroup interventions - want to learn how & when to implement intergroup interventions in field settings Makes a great textbook for a course on intergroup interventions!

If you’re at SPSP tomorrow, come watch my flash talk on “Do they see me as a victim? How the (meta)perceptions of victimhood relate to intergroup attitudes and support for violence” at the Conflict and Conflict Resolution preconference!
