A Kick to Desire: National Teams’ Performance During the Uefa Euro 2024 Affected the Frequency With Which Europeans Experienced Sexual Events
Major sporting events exert manifold influences on people’s intra- and interpersonal experiences. Preliminary findings suggest that they affect sexuality, but the evidence has been limited to population-level outcomes such as birth rates. Direct, individual-level evidence and research on underlying processes are missing. In this preregistered study, we investigated the relationship between the success of national men’s soccer teams during the UEF…
The Empowering Kitchen: Women, Cooking, and the Environment in Egypt
This paper explores the relation between women, community kitchens, and climate change. Community kitchens in Egypt have mushroomed in recent years. Most of them are run by women. These kitchens have shown diverse ways of addressing climate change through local sourcing, seasonal menus, reducing food waste, etc. They have also helped in preserving the Egyptian culinary heritage by collecting traditional recipes, organising training workshops on t…
How the timing of texting triggers romantic interest after the first date: A curvilinear U-shaped effect and its underlying mechanisms
How and why does the timing of texting after a first date impact people's relationship intentions? Based on previous literature, we developed and empirically tested three competing predictions-a linearly positive, a linearly negative, and an inverted U-shaped effect-of text timing on relationship intentions, perceived chemistry, and motivation to translate their relationship into action. We also explored the underlying mechanisms (i.e., thoughts …
Addressing climate change with behavioral science: A global intervention tournament in 63 countries
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interve…
Who guards the guards with AI-driven robots? The ethicalness and cognitive neutralization of police violence following AI-robot advice
We investigate whether the perceived ethicalness of police actions changes when police follow an AI-robot's advice.We assess whether perceived ethicalness of police violence is higher when police follow robot advice to arrest a passer-by, compared to no robot advice to arrest the passer-by.Using neutralization theory, we test how blame-shifting occurs.When police violently arrest an innocent passer-by, the violence is neutralized when the decisio…
Mutations of Heroism: The Case of the Egyptian Superheroine
The history of heroism in Egyptian culture has mostly been perceived as a male attribute, centering on the figure of the male hero, and generally excluding figures of female heroines. In this article, I explore the representation of one type of female heroism, the rising phenomenon of the superheroine. In contrast to popular definitions of heroism connected to the superhero genre wherein heroism is perceived as an extra-terrestrial superpower, re…
American Studies in the Shadow of Orientalism
The introduction of American literature in departments of English at Egyptian state-funded universities in 1959 coincided with the rising role of the US as a global power post World War II, its overtly imperial interests in the Middle East and the Arab World, and its support for the State of Israel. It became necessary then to engage with the US. This essay examines the fledgling attempts to develop American literature curricula into programs of …

Artistic interpretations of Downtown Cairo
Towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, Khedive Ismail’s vision of a modern Cairo, modeled on European aesthetic standards, slowly emerged, giving birth to a Paris-like “Wust-al-balad” (Downtown Cairo), a commercial, business and entertainment center. From its inception, Wust-al-balad would become an exclusive locale, catering to a cosmopolitan community of the colonial British army, expats, and elite and wealthy upper …
