New paper with @mhamjediers.bsky.social

German judges have discretion to apply rehabilitative juvenile criminal law (Jugendstrafrecht) or punitive adult criminal law to 18–20-year-old offenders. We show that immigrant youths are ~10 percentage points less likely to be sentenced under juvenile law

Cool new working paper on why and how cable news threw gasoline on the culture war fire. The culture war isn't optimal for electoral candidates, but it's optimal for cable news companies.

The analysis you've been waiting for: "Do you remember who was actually president when that happened?" Turns out the answer is often...no.

1 in 3 forgot Trump was in office on Jan. 6.

HALF didn't say Biden was President during the Afghanistan withdrawal!

This is a highly interesting, timely and great initiative - a new diamond OA journal for #replication research! It is interdisciplinary, but #PolSci is specifically invited. Hence, if you or someone you know has an interesting replication paper, do not hesitate to submit!

Online social class cues and employability: Experimental evidence from Germany Social media platforms, such as Twitter or Instagram, offer easily accessible information – relevant or not – for employers when evaluating candidates…

💥 Do candidates’ hobbies on social media influence hiring?

New study w. @fresejoris.bsky.social finds no overall effect of “high-class vs. low-class” activities. But when hobbies signal class without clear job relevance, higher-class candidates are favored.

How common are “survey professionals” - people who take dozens of online surveys for pay - across online panels, and do they harm data quality?

Our paper, FirstView at @politicalanalysis.bsky.social, tackles this question using browsing data from three U.S. samples (Facebook, YouGov, and Lucid):

Work from Diana Roxana Galos and @fresejoris.bsky.social examines online social class cues and employability. This article is open access here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations! 🥳

Thanks for sharing, Arnout!

Brextinction? How cohort replacement has transformed support for Brexit Public support for Brexit has declined since the 2016 referendum. We argue that part of this decline is due to cohort replacement where many older voters (who support Brexit) have passed away, while ...

This thread is a great takedown of a recent paper published in one of the top neurology journals. More evidence to bolster my impression that there is a LOT of really weak nutrition science out there getting disproportionate amounts of (uncritical) media coverage.

Radical right accommodation really does not work.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! 🥳

I personally have used z-curves in a meta-analytic paper of mine: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/.... See the brief excerpt of my appendix where I give some reasons why I prefer them over p-curves. The cited studies by Bartos, Brunner, and Schimmack go into much more detail on this.

This is a fantastic paper and thread, demonstrating clearly what many have suspected for years: p-curves don't really do what they purport to do. Better alternatives are out there!
