Every so often reminded measurement in social science takes a back seat to hypothesis testing which isn't great for knowledge accumulation. More folks should read: eiko-fried.com/wp-content/u... We also use agree-disagree scales too much (myself included)

@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social! Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan: 🧵⬇️

🚨🚨 NEW PRE-PRINT 🚨🚨 Prominent theories in political psychology argue that threat causes increases in conservatism. Early experimental work supported this idea, but many of these studies were (severely) underpowered, and examined only a few threats and ideological DVs. 1/n osf.io/preprints/ps...

Now out in @ajpseditor.bsky.social: @luciamotoliniac.bsky.social, Marko Klašnja and I show that greater pressures to spend more money on campaigning leads not just to more politicians who are rich, but especially to more politicians who are are *super* rich onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

1/11 How does justification of violence against the police change when you live near protests that are actively policed? In this article, just published in @sfjournal.bsky.social, we address this question using the 2019 Chilean social uprising as a case study. doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

🚨 NEW RESEARCH ALERT 🚨 My latest article is now available at @polbehavior.bsky.social! "Cueing Without Parties: Experimental Evidence from Peru" explores how citizens navigate politics in contexts without stable parties and deeply-rooted partisan predispositions. 📖 doi.org/10.1007/s111...

Is Accountability Polarizing? Holding anti-democratic leaders accountable is often seen as a risky endeavor. But a recent study in Brazil complicates that assumption. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/is-a... via @lawfaremedia.org @ndelacerda.bsky.social @isabellatingley.bsky.social Ayelén Vanegas

Check out our new article in @lawfaremedia.org - with @ndelacerda.bsky.social and Ayelén Vanegas - which covers our our working paper "Institutional Accountability and Support for Democracy: Evidence from a Natural Experiment". You can see the article below.

A bonus to being a member of the @chesdata.bsky.social team is being involved in *super* cool projects, like this one - led by @ndelacerda.bsky.social and just out in @thejop.bsky.social 👇

With much thanks to @ndelacerda.bsky.social & a great @chesdata.bsky.social team, we have a new JOP article (early access) comparing expert evaluations of party positions from Europe to Israel to North America to Australia. doi.org/10.1086/736578

Really pleased to see "Party brands, issue salience, and electoral volatility" published at @jeppjournal.bsky.social . I argue that if electoral volatility increases as parties become more similar, that logic applies to both positional and salience differences. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our paper with @samjfuller.bsky.social and @jrametta.bsky.social is finally out at @polbehavior.bsky.social! You can find it here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨🚨 NEW PAPER🚨🚨: From me and my awesome TBS lab/FAU team! Just accepted at BJSP. We find that cognitive ability, but not cognitive reflection is associated with MORE animosity towards ideologically discordant groups and MORE favoritism towards ideologically concordant groups. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thrilled that the final paper of my dissertation is now open access at Electoral Studies. In the article, I argue that party brands structure the efficacy of blurred appeal strategies based on how much a strategy signals potential brand deviation. doi.org/10.1016/j.el...
