This article is a response to the insightful pieces written about my beginning attempt of defining and elaborating on a cultural political psychology (Carriere, 2022), of which there were four - Beckstead and Jordan (2023); Busch-Jensen and Røn-Larsen (2023); Mazur (2023a); and Rutherford (2023). Their commentaries were varied in their expansions and thoughts on the work, and each provided a unique perspective on the future of a cultural political psychology. Here, I expand on the points made by each of the authors and synthesize their expansions to look forward to further theoretical elaborations within a cultural political psychology.

This article explores the relationship between companies' support for mental health and consumer engagement. The study examines whether exposing consumers to companies that engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) towards workers' mental health leads to increased engagement. The researchers conducted an experimental study using mock Instagram ads and found that companies engaging in overt activism were more likely to be rewarded with engagement, particularly at the global level. The study suggests that consumer engagement is influenced by the perception that companies genuinely care about workers' mental health. However, the researchers acknowledge the limitations of their cross-sectional design and recommend further research using larger longitudinal designs. [Extracted from the article]
