Research finds sick people open to palliative care actually have more hope about the future than others, @jerclifton explains. Here's why. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/primal…

And we have an exciting new experimental study in the works showing that the this big correlational relationship is, at least partly, causal (i.e., decreasing Hierarchical world belief makes people more politically liberal in general). Stay tuned!!!

(3) Research on fundamental beliefs about the world ("Primals" by @jerclifton) has found conservatives are more likely to see the world as hierarchical ("people, places, and things all have a value and rank"). Perhaps relatedly, conservatives tend to be higher in authoritarianism

Are you a clinical psych prof keen on primals? A bright pre-doc (Stanford RA @AliaCrum lab) is seeking PhD advisor to create/test a primals-focused CBT option. Its a key application of primals research. Nobody's done it yet. Happy to advise project if desirable. Please reach out.

If you are studying primals, plan to study primals, and wish to connect with this research community, please email Rive Cadwallader (rcad@sas.upenn.edu) by February 16, 2024 with a paragraph describing your research and how your future work might benefit.

Attendees (including Dr. Jer Clifton, Dr. Martin Seligman, Dr. Alia Crum, etc.) will discuss presentations of new findings. Because many outside the Primals Project network are now studying primals, we have saved a few all-expense-paid slots for additional researchers to join.

The world's top primal world belief researchers are convening for a 3-day research retreat. Want to come?
The Primals Project at the University of Pennsylvania is hosting a by-invitation-only conference April 26-28 for ~50 psychological researchers studying primal world beliefs.

@jerclifton reflects, "These findings do not mean primals can’t change. It only means that many experiences outside of our control likely don't shape our primals in an inevitable, reductive way."

Are a person's world beliefs a simple reflection of their past experience of privilege or hardship? New research suggests that's *not* the case:

People have difficulty accepting that people they know well (spouses, siblings, etc) change and grow, and old true views are now false. But we do the same for the world.
The world you first discovered in childhood may not be the world today.

"Ultimately, it may be easier to eliminate anti-female bias than to eliminate false beliefs in its continued existence." In @QueerMajority I discuss progress in eliminating anti-female bias & denial of this progress among scientists and the public: queermajority.com/essays-all/suc…

So for example, people who enjoy privileges like living in a wealthy and low-crime neighborhood might still see the world as a dangerous or barren place. The reverse is also true! It would appear that our world beliefs are not simply a reflection of our life experiences

Great writeup of research by Nick Kerry, KC White, @jerclifton and @marklobrien. The team found that - contrary to the intuitions of laypeople AND experts- personal experiences of privilege / hardship are negligibly related to world belief

Important new research featured today: In short, most people think that positive views on the world should correspond to objective indicators of privilege (like being rich) and most of us are wrong.

A new study from @PrimalsResearch at @PennPosPsychCtr shows that certain measures of privilege are far less predictive of positive world beliefs than researchers or laypeople expect. bit.ly/488P1vl
