ppl start to be deterred after they update their beliefs regarding the probability they will be checked. it used to be virtually zero, now the chances are higher, but ppl (correctly) feel the risk is still pretty low and act accordingly (esp. when we consider the very low expected punishment...)

This is the largest cross-linguistic study on SP to date that used computationally selected stimuli and a continuous lexical decision task. The results reveal consistent & robust priming effects across both Latin & non-Latin languages, pointing to a generalizable cognitive mechanism of SP.

Bad news: democratic views are even more fluid than recently shown. In times when we feel poorly, we evaluate opponents + institutions more harshly.
Good news: there are limits to this. Short-term changes in affect (eg traffic jam) won’t shift views or prompt intolerance
7/8🧵
