Great new resource for your experimental methods syllabi!

Impressive for sure but that y-axis truncation is doing a lot of work as well...
In political science, sample sizes, placebo tests, preanalysis plans, and power analyses are on the rise.
While our @polbehavior.bsky.social paper primarily shows that people ascribe partisanship to cultural activities/hobbies etc., there is a larger literature linking social sorting to affective polarization. And politicizing/polarizing culture means that people become sorted on even more categories.
"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

How do people form beliefs about complex topics?
Happy to report our Bayesian model of the psychology of Bayesian updating is out in @ispp-pops.bsky.social! (w/ Gabriel Li & Krosnick)
If you gloss over the Greek, it's a new model for how to assess the impacts of information on summary judgments.
‼️ Two weeks left to apply for the postdoc in Political Text Analysis in the MULTIREP project 👇.
Our paper on how cross-cutting group memberships predict warmer out-party affect and analyses suggesting this is why Latinos in the US have warmer feelings toward the out-party is now fully published in the most recent @polbehavior.bsky.social issue.

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?
Totally, I agree. It's an important proof of concept but given the profit margin mentioned in the paper and the ease of automating all processes, this could quickly become quite profitable (in the short term).
Drew, I have some news for you ;)
Yes but the paper also demonstrates that (1) even a few such LLM generated respondents can skew responses, and (2) that there is a clear business model whereby opt-online panels can be used to make money using such agents.
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.

Are victimhood claims in political party manifestos and election programs on the rise? Yes, they are! Check out a brand new paper authored by @marlenevoit.bsky.social , @lucaskohler.bsky.social et al. -- published yesterday in @polpsyispp.bsky.social. Open Access: doi.org/10.1111/pops....
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

Pleased to share that the @aapor.bsky.social report looking at 2024 election polling is out now: aapor.org/wp-content/u...
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!
New in the Journal of Experimental Political Science (open access): doi.org/10.1017/XPS....
This is awesome Drew! I think this will lead to a ton of really interesting discussions
Would you be willing to share the assignment prompt? Seems like a great exercise!
Every so often reminded measurement in social science takes a back seat to hypothesis testing which isn't great for knowledge accumulation.

We also use agree-disagree scales too much (myself included)
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...
