There’s news on the publication front for three of our staff members, stemming from their academic work before joining Langer Research Associates:

• “The Impact of Neighborhood Park Access and Quality on Body Mass Index Among Adults in New York City,” co-authored by Christopher Weiss, has been published in the journal Preventive Medicine;
• Gregory Holyk’s 2013 Political Science Quarterly article, “Paper Tiger? Chinese Soft Power in East Asia,” has been selected to appear in an edited book on China’s emergence, “China’s Great Leap Outward: Hard and Soft Dimensions of a Rising Power,” published by the Academy of Political Science;
• “Mapping the Connections Between Politics and Morality: The Multiple Sociopolitical Orientations Involved in Moral Intuition,” co-authored by Damla Ergun, has been published in Political Psychology; and
• Another article of Ergun’s, “Opposition to Equality and Support for Tradition as Mediators of the Relationship Between Epistemic Motivation and System-Justifying Identifications,” appears in the January 2014 issue of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations.

Congratulations to all!
