easpFrom 25 to 28 May 2017 I took part in the Small Group Meeting "Understanding psychological defese after failure", in Fyresdal, Norway. The meeting was supported by the European Association of Social Psychology and by Austre Nape.

Together with Mauro Bertolotti I presented the  paper “If…”: Counterfactuals in defensive communication and their effects”. We talked about the effects that various defensive communication strategies have on how we evaluate other people, and about how several personal and contextual factors can influence these effects.

It was really a beautiful meeting in a wonderful place!!!
