Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Very happy to share that I am going to be the new Director of the Democracy unit at the @wzb.bsky.social Berlin Social Science Center. I am excited to form a new research unit on democratic politics and to engage with people in Berlin and elsewhere to make liberal democracy more resilient.

Climate change impacts are here, but public support for action remains polarized. Which climate messages move people? In a ~13,500-person megastudy, we tested 10 of the most-cited messages. Six increased pro-environmental attitudes in the U.S.—but only by 1–4 percentage points. 🧵

Out @thejop.bsky.social: measuring shocks like weather or immigrant exposure has vast researcher degrees of freedom. We (@phanxi.bsky.social) show: equally plausible measures diverge + yield spurious results. So, investigate the full set. For us, a null for climate opinion www.doi.org/10.1086/735706

The special issue of @cpsjournal.bsky.social “Back from the Brink: Countering Illiberalism in Liberal Democracies”, co-edited by myself and Isabela Mares, was just published.

Very happy to share new research in @ejprjournal.bsky.social w/ my brilliant PhD student & former colleague @madeleinesiegel.bsky.social (new to bsky!): doi.org/10.1017/S147.... We ask whether the winner-loser gap in democratic satisfaction also exists among non-citizens without voting rights.

The German publication of "Triggerpunkte" had a huge impact on how people in politics and broader society think about current political conflicts. I can only encourage people in the UK to engage and better understand some of the essential dynamics underpinning the ongoing political transformations.

Knife crime! Pronouns! Meat bans! Some political issues lead to "hotter", more emotional and polarizing debates than others. We show how these "trigger points" reveal a contested structure of moral expectations and how they get weaponized by polarization entrepreneurs. OA @bjsociology.bsky.social 🧵

we have a new paper in the April issue of Political Psychology. in this (admittedly quite lovely) new paper, @stephenvaisey.com, @pablobellode.bsky.social and I make a simple point: using panel data to understand belief change is very hard. we highlight an empirical intractability in the process:

🌀 📍 Backlash against asylum seekers in Austria 🏔️ @markuswagner.bsky.social & @lukrudolph.bsky.social show that hosting refugees in local communities sparked stronger anti‑asylum, anti‑immigrant and anti‑Muslim attitudes with political consequences too. 📊🗳️

FOUR GRAPHS ABOUT 🇩🇰'S GENERAL ELECTION My read of the election in four graphs. First: big urban-rural divide. The two big mainstream parties, Social Democrats and Liberals, are now mainly rural/suburban, with niche parties dominating in cities. (1/4) #polisky

Do we understand the politics of this kind of cost-shock inflation (and the policies that might help address it)? I think not so much: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Do researchers share their code upon request? Does running their orginal code on the original data produce the original results? We provide evidence in a new Royal Society Open Science publication. Studying more than 1,000 articles which use data from the European Social Survey, we find that... 🧵
