New working paper! In this research note, @bogatyrev.bsky.social, @tabouchadi.bsky.social, @heikekluever.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social, and I present the first systematic test that causally identifies the electoral consequences of state-sponsored homophobia:

🚨Working paper alert🚨 This was the first project I started in my PhD, blessed with amazing co-authors! Glad to finally share our findings. Long story short: even largely symbolic and declarative state-sponsored homophobia can translate into real political behavior 👇

Was not aware that prolific did ID validation in their recruitment which at least allow us to say that the/a real respondent did exist at some point.
I disagree. AFAIK, this was not run on Prolific, and we already have the majority of Sean's recommendations in place.

I personally think this is a "harder problem" than we care to admit.
So, are you a (social) scientist struggling with this situation? A break between what you _want_ to study (a causal process) and what you feel you _can_ credibly study (a correlation)?
Here are some readings that might help. 👇

He writes with the conviction that democracy depends on the continuous work of understanding.
