Migrants
Our new work investigates the effect of varying the labels used to describe immigrants.
Across nine countries (N = 2,844), we found that “participants perceived ‘migrants’ as bringing more benefits to their countries than both ‘refugees’ and ‘asylum seekers’, which translated into more positive attitudes towards immigrants.”

UK university staff are on a marking boycott to protest poor pay and working conditions.
UK universities claim their response of “changing quality assurance mechanisms and basing final grades on fewer marks” will not devalue degrees. Really?! Then why not stick with that approach permanently to reduce staff workloads?!

New theoretical article addresses this question from the perspective of optimal foraging theory and the exploration-exploitation trade-off.
