Understanding Partisan Bias in Judgments of Misinformation: Identity Protection Versus Differential Knowledge - Tyler J. Hubeny, Lea S. Nahon, Bertram Gawronski, 2026 People overaccept information that supports their identity and underaccept information that opposes their identity—a phenomenon known as partisan bias. Although...

The psychology of far-right support How fear, group identity and authoritarianism fuel far-right support - and how to counter it.

Fear, group identity and a need for order fuel movements such as the AfD. My latest article explores how these factors may have shaped the recent German elections.

Title page of my SPSP 2024 talk for the political psychology pre-conference. “lipstick Bomber” by Wolf Vostell is centered on a white background. Centered underneath the image is the title of the presentation: “disaffected consent in the context of US neoliberalism”. Centered under the title are the names of the authors: Eva A. García Ferrés and Colin Tucker Smith. Eva’s name is bolded, indicating she is the presenting author. Centered under the authors’ names is the authors’ affiliation: University of Florida. On the right bottom corner, in two lines, appears “SPSP 2024” in bold capital letters.

Super excited to guide people through my MS’s work during the poli psy pre-conference at #SPSP2024. I’ll be discussing why people who dislike the status quo are not motivated to change it, and some methodological issues capturing the group’s attitudes.
