We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences of loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March and May 2020....

Development of strategic social information seeking: Implications for cumulative culture (2021)
Journal Article
Blakey, K. H., Rafetseder, E., Atkinson, M., Renner, E., Cowan-Forsythe, F., Sati, S. J., & Caldwell, C. A. (2021). Development of strategic social information seeking: Implications for cumulative culture. PLoS ONE, 16(8), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0256605

Human learners are rarely the passive recipients of valuable social information. Rather, learners usually have to actively seek out information from a variety of potential others to determine who is in a position to provide useful information. Yet, t...

Merging familiar and new senses to perceive and act in space (2021)
Journal Article
Nardini, M. (2021). Merging familiar and new senses to perceive and act in space. Cognitive Processing, 22(1), 69-75. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10339-021-01052-3

Our experience of the world seems to unfold seamlessly in a unitary 3D space. For this to be possible, the brain has to merge many disparate cognitive representations and sensory inputs. How does it do so? I discuss work on two key combination proble... Read More about Merging familiar and new senses to perceive and act in space.

Social bonds provide multiple pathways to reproductive success in wild male chimpanzees (2021)
Journal Article
Feldblum, J. T., Krupenye, C., Bray, J., Pusey, A. E., & Gilby, I. C. (2021). Social bonds provide multiple pathways to reproductive success in wild male chimpanzees. iScience, 24(8), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2021.102864

In most male mammals, fitness is strongly shaped by competitive access to mates, a non-shareable resource. How, then, did selection favor the evolution of cooperative social bonds? We used behavioral and genetic data on wild chimpanzees (Pan troglody... Read More about Social bonds provide multiple pathways to reproductive success in wild male chimpanzees.

Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes (2021)
Journal Article
Heesen, R., Bangerter, A., Zuberbühler, K., Iglesias, K., Neumann, C., Pajot, A., Perrenoud, L., Guéry, J., Rossano, F., & Genty, E. (2021). Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes. iScience, 24(8), Article 102872. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2021.102872

Many social animals interact jointly, but only humans experience a specific sense of obligation toward their co-participants, a joint commitment. However, joint commitment is not only a mental state but also a process that reveals itself in the coord... Read More about Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes.

Experimental manipulation of muscularity preferences through visual diet and associative learning (2021)
Journal Article
Jacques, K., Evans, E., & Boothroyd, L. (2021). Experimental manipulation of muscularity preferences through visual diet and associative learning. PLoS ONE, 16(8), Article e0255403. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0255403

Body preferences are somewhat flexible and this variability may be the result of one’s visual diet (whereby mere exposure to certain bodies shifts preferences), associative learning mechanisms (whereby cues to health and status within the population...

Social class and wellbeing among staff and students in higher education settings: Mapping the problem and exploring underlying mechanisms (2021)
Journal Article
Dougall, I., Weick, M., & Vasiljevic, M. (2021). Social class and wellbeing among staff and students in higher education settings: Mapping the problem and exploring underlying mechanisms. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 51(10), 965-986. https://doi.org/10.1111/jasp.12814

Within Higher Education (HE), staff and students from lower social class backgrounds often experience poorer wellbeing than their higher social class counterparts. Previous research conducted outside educational contexts has linked social class diffe...
