Seeing Through the Black-Pill: Incels Are Wrong About What People Think of Them. William Costello and Andrew Thomas examine survey data from 135 incels and 449 non-incels. They find that incels overestimate how much society blames them for their problems and underestimate how much society sympathises with them. However, they also find that non-incels who score higher on feminist ideology are less sympathetic to incels.

Demography leads to more conservative European societies. Martin Fieder and Susanne Huber examine whether Europe is evolving to become more conservative. Analysing data from two large surveys, they find that people with conservative family values have more children. They also find that, other things being equal, this is increasing the proportion of people with conservative family values from one generation to the next.
