When I studied economics I remember wishing I could march in the streets for the cause of free trade. Now I can say that if only in that one way, Donald Trump has made a dream of mine come true. #HandsOff Frederick

The effect of seeing scientists as intellectually humble on trust in scientists and their research - Nature Human Behaviour
Across five pre-registered studies, Koetke et al. find that perceptions of scientists’ intellectual humility positively affect the perceived trustworthiness of scientists and their research.

Why did Trump beat Harris?
Anti-incumbency bias:
People voted against the incumbent party in every part of American and every country in the world this year--for the first time in 70+ years!
This global trend was a tsunami that swamped ideology, gender, race, age, etc.

Turns out, using simple language in politics helps people understand issues better and even shapes how they see politicians - but it doesn't directly sway votes.
Excited to share that our study (w/ @danbischof.bsky.social) is conditionally accepted at JOP!

Vi har fået de første data ind fra det store projekt med Aarhus Universitet, der skal gøre os klogere på kandidattest, der kan flytte magt og mandater, når der er valg.
De foreløbige resultater tyder på, at valgtest påvirker EU-valg endnu mere end folketingsvalg. jyllands-posten.dk/politik/ECE1...

Sådan blev det vilde valg påvirket af populære test: »Vi blev faktisk en smule overraskede«
Ny forskning viser, hvor meget kandidattest skubbede til stemmerne ved EU-valget – og at vælgerne hellere ville vide noget om det, som valget faktisk handlede om.
