Nice + accessible overview of my @jepsjournal.bsky.social paper on validating populism treatments, showing that some β€œthin” populism treatments also affect perceptions of host ideology. Also makes broader point about validating conjoint treatments #Openaccess paper: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

New study examines how people evaluate online ads as "political": source cues, message strength (i.e., persuasive intent), and uncongenial messages. All addressed by the politically relevant media model (PRMM) and why asking if a media text is "political" may not be the best measure.

Abstract for paper: Scholars increasingly conceptualize populism by whether politicians use people-centric
and anti-elite appeals that pit a homogeneous people against a corrupt elite. These appeals
reflect β€œthin” ideology because they offer no programmatic content and thus politicians
must pair these appeals with more substantive positions, termed their β€œhost” (or thick)
ideology, which often consists of nativism on the right (e.g., espousing anti-immigrant
positions) and socialism on the left (e.g., prioritizing redistribution). An emerging
literature has thus sought to estimate whether populists garner support due to their thin
ideology or their substantive host ideology. To date, no research has validated whether
populism treatments (1) truly operationalize populist thin ideology, and (2) do so without
manipulating host ideology. Results from three conjoint validation experiments fielded in
both the United States and the United Kingdom show that thin ideology treatments
successfully manipulate the underlying concepts but caution that some operationalizations
also affect perceptions of host ideology.

New preregistered report @jepsjournal.bsky.social

"Thin" populism treatments manipulate perceptions of people-centrism + anti-elitism

But: some treatments (e.g., "American people") affect perceptions of host ideology, complicating causal analyses of impact of populist rhetoric

We have a new paper out in @jepsjournal.bsky.social, with @laiabalcells.bsky.social, @sergisme.bsky.social and Ethan vanderWilden.

We test a number of experimental treatments aimed at strengthening social norms against radical-right support, but find mostly null results.
