Social and Intergroup Psychology

Similarity in greater Chinese ideology is associated with intersubject neural similarity during viewing of a pro-China video

The paper examines how individual differences in Greater Chinese ideology relate to neural similarity during viewing of a pro-China video, finding stronger within-versus-between neural similarity effects among those with lower ideology scores.

Integrating stereotypes and factual evidence in interpersonal communication

The paper examines how stereotypes and factual evidence are integrated in communication, finding brain structure and early social experiences influence this process.

Learning from ingroup experiences changes intergroup impressions

The paper shows that ingroup experiences significantly influence intergroup impressions, with neural and computational evidence supporting ingroup-focused theories over outgroup-focused ones.

Neural representations of others' traits predict social decisions

The paper shows that the lateral orbitofrontal cortex represents stereotype content about social groups, influencing social decisions through domain-general processes.

Cognitive and neural bases of decision-making causing civilian casualties during intergroup conflict

The paper investigates cognitive and neural mechanisms of decision-making leading to civilian harm during intergroup conflict using simulated punishment tasks with participants from different ethnic groups.

Intolerance to uncertainty modulates neural synchrony between political partisans

This study shows that intolerance to uncertainty increases neural synchrony between political partisans, promoting polarized attitude formation.

Conservative and liberal attitudes drive polarized neural responses to political content

The paper examines how conservative and liberal attitudes lead to polarized neural responses to political content, identifying brain regions and language features that drive these differences.

Rehumanizing the homeless: Altered BOLD response following contact with an extreme outgroup

The paper investigates how contact with the homeless alters brain responses associated with social cognition, finding mixed evidence of reduced BOLD signals in regions like the mPFC and Insula.
