Privileged to welcome a new researcher to our lab! She brings with her a wealth of experience in cuteness, puppy dog eyes, and the importance of puppy cuddles in productive research output

Our lab has a new tradition where we pick an animal each year to be our unofficial mascot. The votes are in: 2022 is the year of the quokka!

Fabulous article on the concept of "harm inflation", featuring research by our own A/Prof Tegan Cruwys https://t.co/NCj8xFUD85

New paper out from HAIL members - well done all!

[Mark Stevens @MarkStevens2411]

New paper in SJMSS thanks to Áine Fitzpatrick's brilliant work. We found that norm messages effected people’s performance.. on a beep test! And that how the messages effected people's exertion depended on their identification with the norm reference group. https://t.co/z7F2VDr7fK

[ANU Health and Identity Lab @anu_lab]

In true lockdown fashion, we had our own zoom trivia night on Friday. Among the included topics we had penguins, @kanyewest, drag queens, and @F1 - turns out our team have some niche interests outside of research!

[ANU Health and Identity Lab @anu_lab]

Kids are struggling with the impacts of the pandemic. Our own Tegan Cruwys spoke to Behind The News on some things kids (and adults!) can do to stay happy and healthy. Listen here: https://t.co/QYaWrflCJV

[ANU Health and Identity Lab @anu_lab]

Wonderful news from one of our lab members. Congratulations Daniel!!

[Daniel Skorich @DanielSkorich]

A bit of news: I’ve just accepted a Lecturer position (a full-time teaching/research position) in the School of Psych at ANU. My teaching will likely be in stats and research methods. It’s good to finally get a bit of stability ☺️ 1/5

“If we give people... the inclusion and the belonging that they need to actually be part of broader communities, then that is an incredibly powerful antidote to mental ill-health”. Our own Tegan Cruwys spoke to the ABC about #Groups_4_Health, listen here: https://t.co/OJLQsgUOwB

[Alex Haslam @alexanderhaslam]

Results of an RCT point to the distinctive value of #Groups_4_Health (vs. CBT) in protecting vulnerable young adults against unanticipated threats to their mental health.
Open-access JAD paper led by Tegan Cruwys and @uqchasla is now in print.

[ANU Health and Identity Lab @anu_lab]

New paper is out led by our very own Tegan Cruwys and soon to be HAIL member @ja_rathbone! Congratulations🎉

[Catherine Haslam @uqchasla]

Now accepted in Journal of Affective Disorders. This paper led by Tegan Cruwys @alexanderhaslam @ja_rathbone @ElyseJW shows that 12 months on, G4H was better than CBT in protecting against loneliness relapse during COVID restrictions. See full paper https://t.co/kuxSpeRIiG

[Alex Haslam @alexanderhaslam]

Powerful new research by Kim Peters, @jetten_j and colleagues explains — and shows — how inequality makes salient the social categories of 'rich' and 'poor' in ways that have implications for social cohesion and collective action.

A paper for our times.
