Very cool pilot study from @dowonkim.bsky.social using chatbots to examine how people respond to out-group agreement and in-group disagreement. Looking forward to seeing this project develop into the full study! #pacss2025 #polnet2025

Recent research shows that AI can durably reduce belief in conspiracies. But does this work b/c the AI is good at producing evidence, or b/c ppl really trust AI?
In a new working paper, we show that the effect persists even if the person thinks they're talking to a human: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Conventional wisdom says interdisciplinary research is valuable but harder to get through peer review (need to please diverse reviewers, etc).
@sdxiang.bsky.social Daniel and I partnered with @ioppublishing.bsky.social to test this wisdom and add nuance

What happens to people when researchers encourage them to deactivate Facebook or Instagram for a few weeks in the lead up to an election?
People get modestly* happier/less depressed/less anxious.
"The Facebook effect is driven by people >35, while the Instagram effect is driven by women <25."

New paper with @dianamejordan.bsky.social and sky-less Trent Ollerenshaw! We provide large-N tests of repeated measure designs in survey experiments, showing that they slightly attenuate ATEs relative to post-only designs, but provide large gains to precision. Thread below.

Interesting results, I wonder if stated preferences match behaviours, e.g., how many people are using bsky custom feeds?
People in 26 countries prefer more control over their online environment
In a conjoint study (N = 11,868), we explored preferences for regulating online environments by examining binary choices between different regulation scenarios.
