How does anxiety about the future shape young people’s politics? A UK–Greece study finds that future anxiety links to stronger democratic support — but among young men, it’s also tied to more right-conservative views.

Retorikken rundt LLM ser ut til å være mer finansiell fantasi enn empirisk faktum; imponerende språk, sparsom produktivitet—keiseren har fortsatt ikke fått på seg arbeidsklær. Sett med mine teknolog-øyne ikke overraskende. Glimrende innlegg av @kunstjonas.bsky.social

KI er keiserens nye klær
Løftet var todelt: en produktivitetsrevolusjon for næringslivet og en teknologisk snarvei til å løse menneskehetens store utfordringer. Begge deler viser seg nå å være en illusjon.

🇳🇴 Ny kronikk: Innvandrere er mer åpne for #psykisk #helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv.

🇬🇧 New op-ed: Migrants in Norway are more open to #mental #healthcare than we assume – and than migrants themselves assume.

Innvandrere er mer åpne for psykisk helsehjelp enn vi tror – og enn de tror selv
Hvis mange med innvandringsbakgrunn i realiteten er mer åpne for psykisk helsehjelp enn de gir uttrykk for, ligger løsningen kanskje i å synliggjøre denne tause åpenheten.

I have some points of disagreement with John’s commentary, but I respect the depth of thought he brings to the topic. It's important to engage with different views as we push the field forward.

🚨Publication Alert: Can emotional acculturation, usually seen as beneficial, have hidden costs?

Immigrant minority students who internalize majority emotional norms report more social contact but less school engagement—especially when facing discrimination.

Violent Extremism can take many forms. It can be cultural, structural, institutionalised and direct - or any mixture of these.

This new study reveals that using bivariate proxies to test interaction effects in meta-analyses systematically inflates effect sizes—clarifying why earlier syntheses, including those assessing the acculturation “integration” hypothesis, overstated their conclusions.

Why has acculturation research focused only on minority groups when it's defined as mutual cultural change? My meta-analysis of 37 studies (N = 11,000+) reveals how majority groups also transform—and how colonial mindsets in academia created this blind spot.
