Forthcoming paper in Journal of Communication
​We are excited to share news about our forthcoming paper in Journal of Communication on "The influence of affective and cognitive appeals on persuasion outcomes: A cross-cultural meta-analysis"!
This meta-analysis compares the persuasiveness of affective versus cognitive appeals across societies that vary on individualism-collectivism. Affective appeals were found to be more persuasive than cognitive appeals in collectivistic societies, thus suggesting that in persuasion, cultural tendencies to prioritize the group's needs may encourage the integration of emotions from affective appeals in individuals' attitudes and behaviour.

Lab BBQ 2024
​During this past summer, our lab gathered for a BBQ to celebrate the end of the Academic Year 2023/2024. Many thanks to Charlie for organising the BBQ, and to Reiner and Charlie for grilling the food. We hope everybody enjoyed the company and the meal, and feel ready for the upcoming year!

Congratulations to Reiner NG on passing his PhD oral defense 
Reiner's PhD thesis is entitled "What changes the trust for conflicting information: The influence of affect-cognition and subjective ambivalence", and he examined how affect-cognition matching can increase the extent of subjective ambivalence to consequently reduce the amount of trust that is given to conflicting content. 

Congratulations to Gabriel GOH on passing his PhD oral defense
In Gabriel's PhD thesis "Horizontal-Verticality in Ingroup and Outgroup Derogation: An Integrative Cultural Perspective of the Black Sheep and Ingroup Leniency Effects," he examined how horizontal and vertical cultural orientations shape reactions to deviant behaviour within and between groups. 

Congratulations to LI Zheng (Charlie) on passing his PhD candidacy exams
In his thesis research, he will examine the impact of relational mobility on attitudinal advocacy. This research has implications for understanding how individuals express their attitudes in ways that serve interpersonal goals shaped by the level of relational mobility in their environment.
