New preregistered report @jepsjournal.bsky.social

"Thin" populism treatments manipulate perceptions of people-centrism + anti-elitism

But: some treatments (e.g., "American people") affect perceptions of host ideology, complicating causal analyses of impact of populist rhetoric

Survey experiments' popularity in political science is getting attention. What is good and bad about them? How can one maximize their benefits and mitigate their downsides?

"a woman who hates Christianity, will take away your guns [...] and openly disdains Country music"

Clear example of politicization of culture, which may solidify social sorting and facilitate us-vs-them categorization and in turn can fuel affective polarization

Do any meta-analyses or other reflection pieces exist that catalog the sorts of mechanisms specifically, and outcomes generally, studied as consequences of providing white Americans information on their declining population share?

Important paper. So far most of the potential solutions I've seen mentioned (in-person surveys, high-quality/validated panels, address-based sampling) cost lots of money and will thus deepen divides based on resources. Something that we'll also need to grapple with.

Across social media sites, political posting is tightly linked to affective #polarization - the most partisan users post the most

As casual users disengage & polarized partisans remain vocal, the online public sphere grows smaller, sharper, and more ideologically extreme

After a huge post-election flip in economic perceptions, I thought Democrats and Republicans might be lying to pollsters to send a partisan message — but I was wrong!

Every so often reminded measurement in social science takes a back seat to hypothesis testing which isn't great for knowledge accumulation.

Nice + accessible overview of my @jepsjournal.bsky.social paper on validating populism treatments, showing that some “thin” populism treatments also affect perceptions of host ideology. Also makes broader point about validating conjoint treatments #Openaccess paper: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
