Are memes ‘just jokes’? How transgressive internet memes resonate with audiences: appreciation, attitude persuasion, and social norm activation Ghent University
In this project we examine how transgressive, i.e. sexist or racist, internet memes affect people’s attitudes and perceptions towards women and ethnic minorities. More particularly, we explore whether people’s appreciation of transgressive internet memes as humorous or serious content conditions the cognitive effects of internet memes. While much of the literature has focused on describing transgressive internet memes as products of online ...

We know what men want - or do we? Insidious processes that maintain the powerful impact of traditional norms on men’s work-family choices. KU Leuven
While much has changed for women with regard to work-family (W-F) arrangements in past decades, much less has changed for men. Men’s lower family care participation also impacts women on the work front, presenting a remaining barrier for gender equality. Despite men’s clear lower care participation, almost all of the focus in science and policy has gone to addressing the lower work participation of women. In the current proposal we shift this ...

Men’s health behavior and wellbeing obstructed: The role of gender identification and precarious manhood in three domains. KU Leuven

However, most health researchers have examined these issues from a clinical perspective and not much is known about the underlying social psychological mechanisms that may account for such outcomes. This project aims to ...
