We officially launched our Psych-AID Network last Friday. Thank you to all of our speakers @Maahanmuuttovir, @FGaroff, @sara_landstrom, @jan_antfolk, @jkorkman, @JennySkrifvars, @hedayat_selim , Rasmus Ahlgren, @oak27oak, and Malin Ekelund.
Psych-AID was represented at the conference of the European chapter of the International Association of Migration and Refugee Judges, held in Paris in early October. Judges, law practitioners, and researchers gathered to discuss new developments in asylum law and practice.
What a privilege to be able to bring a psychological perspective on asylum interviewing and decision-making into the conversation.
A special highlight was the setting: the remarkable General Assembly hall of the Conseil d'État. Many thanks to the organisers and to everyone we had the chance to discuss these important topics with. #AsylumLaw #RefugeeLaw #IARMJ #LegalPsychology #PsychAID
It's finally conference week! Stay tuned for further updates as we welcome our participants to the SOGIESC in Asylum conference, held at Åbo Akademi University in Turku!
The PsychAID network had the pleasure of participating in a number of panels at EAPL in Bari. Postdoc Dilhan Töredi presented preliminary results from a cross-cultural incentivized lie paradigm investigating decision-making in the asylum setting.
Doctoral researcher Anastasia Valiavko presented the translation and validation of the rape myth and empathy scales into Ukrainian.
Dilhan's study, “Trust and Technology: Rethinking Interpretation in Asylum Interviews,” aims to disentangle the effects of trust and confidentiality concerns from those arising from interpretation quality and other cross-cultural influences in interpreter-mediated asylum IVs.

🔍Beliefs about asylum decisions don’t arise in a vacuum. In our study, broader immigration attitudes shape how people interpret the same asylum system: more lenient attitudes ➡️ too strict; more restrictive ➡️ too lenient.
