Trys Loustau finds that identity complexity (belonging to diverging social groups) mitigates intergroup bias! Other approaches deemphasize conflicting identities to reduce bias. But that’s not always possible—and this work shows SIC can leverage these identity for social good!

💡New Paper in Social Cognition!💡 Autistic participants report: 🔹 Lower endorsement of binding values (e.g., loyalty) 🔹 No difference in individualizing values (e.g., care, fairness) 🔹 Lower levels of social comparison emotions (e.g., envy). 📄 Link: doi.org/10.1521/soco.2…

🎉 My research has been featured in TIME!🎉 In this article, I discuss our work on how people with autism process social comparisons differently, often showing greater emotional resilience, and what we can learn from these insights. time.com/7205090/autism… #Psychology
