This choice of language showcases an urgency to understand and address how perceptions shift as societal issues evolve.

AgreementModerate agreement

Many discussions express support for the publication's findings, with users frequently agreeing on the implications of 'prevalence-induced concept change'.

InterestHigh interest

A significant number of posts indicate a strong interest in the topic, reflecting both personal relevance and curiosity about its wider social implications.

EngagementHigh engagement

Numerous users engage in deep discussions about specific experiments and their applications, suggesting thoughtfulness and a desire to explore the topic further.

ImpactHigh impact

There is a consensus that the publication has substantial implications for understanding social dynamics and perceptions, with many users noting the broader societal effects.

Abstract in brief

  • Research shows that when certain stimuli (like blue dots or threatening faces) become less common, people expand their understanding of those concepts.
  • In experiments, participants began to identify less threatening or innocuous stimuli as more threatening or unethical when the original stimuli became rare.
  • This change in perception occurs even when individuals are notified about the effect and encouraged to resist it, suggesting that societal issues can seem harder to solve because people may recognize more problematic behaviors as they decrease in frequency.

Concept creep: Science paper shows that as we make progress on social problems (bullying, prejudice, etc), we broaden the definition of the problem. As a result, we fail to notice the progress we've made on these problems. https://t.co/bD0ox1vq67 https://t.co/NeUyJOC8lS

Why does this happen? In past work, I've studied "prevalence-induced concept change," or how concepts can grow when their instances become rare. If blue dots are hard to find, a new dot might look very blue compared to *what you've seen lately.* https://t.co/q51LnU8aS6 (5/9)

Psych. paper for today's world. Social problems may seem intractable because reductions in their prevalence lead people to see more of them. When biggest issue is masking/vaccinating that's 'freedom' lost. When war happens concept of freedom changes.
