Affective polarization research focuses almost exclusively on valence, despite affect having at least two core dimensions. We show that emotional arousal matters!
- In het experimentele onderzoek dat ik eerder noem is de voorkeur voor positieve emotie over negatieve emotie minder sterk bij rechts dan bij links.
- er zit wel degelijk positieve emotionele aspecten in communicatie Wilders (denk humor, Milders, "De agenda voor hoop en optimisme")
- stukroodvlees.nl/persoonlijkh...
- doi.org/10.1086/710014 [studie met Nederlandse data]
- doi.org/10.1111/1475... [ook Nederlandse data] [2/3]
- De +/- 10 zetels die D66 afgelopen weken steeg in peilingen is een campagne-effect waar de positieve emotionele campagne van D66 een positieve bijdrage aan levert (mijn interpretatie)
- Maar er zijn ook andere reden om te stemmen. [1/3]

- Had a great day with the Challenges to Democracy group. Exciting presentation by Trevor Incerti and a nice diner.

Is there a need for domain-specificity when studying mental health (MH) and politics? In our study in the Netherlands, we find political mental health (PMH) is distinct from MH & has unique political correlates, from polarization to ideological extremism.

My first dissertation paper is now out with @bnbakker.bsky.social &
@gijsschumacher.bsky.social! Do our brains quickly encode partisan bias when simply viewing politicians’ faces?
