And thanks to the #NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) for funding this project! 3/3

How do (new) norms emerge and change in society? How do emotional dynamics and social interactions within and between groups give rise to norm violations, emergence and change? What are the implications for pressing topics such as climate change, sexual harresment, polarization? Soon we know more2/3

Starting my new job as a Postdoctoral researcher this week at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam (UvA)! Sooo excited about this fantastic project with Gerben van Kleef! 1/3

Even though "academics from poorer backgrounds introduce more novel scientific concepts, [they] are less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards"

The humanities have the least social mobility, quants have the most papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Great list! Would love to be added too :)

Scholars argue whether rightists or extremists are more prone to conspiracies. A new analysis across 77 samples (and 18 countries) concludes "there is no single functional form" of the ideology-conspiracy relationship.

Gone Too Far Elite Radicalization Hebel-Sela Aldar Orian Harel Political Psychology

Political hope, anyone? When are leaders go fascist, previous supporters of those leaders actually go less fascist.
See our registered-report longitudinal study, led by @shirahebelsela.bsky.social, Lee Aldar, and @taloharel.bsky.social, with Boaz Hameiri and Eran Halperin, here:

De impact van de gaswinningsproblematiek stopt niet bij de provinciegrens van Groningen. Een vragenlijstonderzoek, uitgevoerd door Gronings Perspectief, in Drenthe laat zien dat bewoners van deze provincie, met name in de noordelijke grensgebieden, schade en gezondheidsklachten ervaren.

Really enjoyed presenting my work in this amazing room at the Forum in Groningen, thanks to the ASPO conference 2024!

A new conceptual framework and systematic review to understand the link between rising polarization and healthy democratic functioning. More details on the research following soon!

Abstract that says Affective polarization is a central characteristic of political competition, but high levels are seen as potentially harmful. In this article, we link the study of affective polarization to that of coalition politics, expecting that by signalling the willingness to cooperate in a coalition, political elites can reduce mutual dislike between political camps. We argue, first, that the impact of coalition formation should depend on the information content (‘surprisingness’) of this signal, and, second, that its effect should spill over to parties outside of the coalition. Combining 20 years of monthly voter-level data from Germany with data on national and regional coalitions, we show that coalitions are most likely to reduce affective distance when participating parties are ideologically distant and when the signals are still recent. Moreover, coalitions have a system-wide impact beyond the specific parties involved. We discuss the implications for the role of political elites in shaping affective polarization.

Party coalitions may reduce affective distance when the parties are ideologically distant and when the coalition is still recent.

When academics regularly express their political opinions online, it under undercuts their credibility with the public.

Wow congrats Charlie!!

Now published in PNAS! We had a survey in the field at the time of the first assassination attempt on Trump. We found that Rs became significantly less supportive of partisan violence and had increased in-party affect.
