Almost everyone has ghosted others, be it friends or romantic partners. But what drives us to disappear without explanation, and how does ghosting others affect us? Thank you to my amazing co-authors Kevin Koban and Jörg Matthes for helping me turn my master’s thesis into this!

🚨Now fresh off the press🚨 The paper from @CvSikorski and @MelanieSaumer titled "Sexual Harassment in Politics. News about Victims’ Delayed Sexual Harassment Accusations and Effects on Victim Blaming: A Mediation Model" is out now #openaccess tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108… 1/3

New publication with Florian Arendt & Oliver Findl! We examined effects of negative reviews on physician-rating websites as well as the effectiveness of physicians’ response strategies. Happy that this is out #openaccess 🥳 doi.org/10.1016/j.socs…
