🚨New publication! Thrilled to finally see this paper out in @psrm.bsky.social 🎉 📊I study how gender shapes coalition preferences among politicians. Turns out mayors prefer forming governments with women-led parties, perceiving them as better communicators and more competent governors.

Some people like using our (w/ @markuswagner.bsky.social) heroes & villains paper to teach partisanship. We've made it easier (and fun?) for students with a new online playground 🦹 doi.org/10.1017/psrm... www.turnbulldugarte.com/heroes-playg...

Happening tomorrow!

New publication with Lautaro Cella Do voters reject gay candidates in LA? We find that most voters in Chile, Arg, and Mex do not penalize them, but voters aligned with far-right parties (e.g. Republican Party in Chile) do reject them at the ballot box. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I like this award-winning paper for many reasons. You should read it if you care about instrumental inclusion.

Sneak peek of some results that say 1) women are relative cheap labour orientated towards green jobs (they think of a mid pay job en par with a high pay fossil job) But 2) socialization and esp. diversity matters to them (while, depending on framing, it really turns men off)

Homophobia alive and well in adoption decision-making 😱

Yet to surpass the (professional) fun we had in writing this piece now out in latest issue of @psrm.bsky.social We know political identities share the valence we assign to others. Here we asked, do valence signals also shape the partisanship we assign to others? doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

🎺 Call for proposals 🎺 1️⃣ replicate an existing experiment 2️⃣ run a novel experiment on repdata.com 3️⃣ coauthor with Mary McGrath and me to meta-analyze the replications and existing studies 4️⃣ publish your study details: alexandercoppock.com/replication_... applications open Feb 1 please repost!

Yes, rejection is still my modal outcome in the peer review process (56% of submissions) But here you can see how many times I've been desk rejected, from where, how long they took, and how many attempts it took to cross the R&R threshold

Given that only a third of the hypotheses were supported, one takeaway is that our theories are crap.

🚨NEW WORKING PAPER🚨 Why are many Latino immigrants *not* naturalizing, learning English, and participating in American politics? We provide new theory and evidence across 3 surveys and an instrumental variables approach to show how migration motives shape immigrant integration. tinyurl.com/3expvu8e

Very happy to see this out in CPS! We study class identities and their social and political relevance over several decades in Britain, Denmark, Norway, and the US. A small thread: journals.sagepub.com/eprint/SIRW4...

📈 Our key finding: the rural–urban divide didn’t grow gradually. It *jumped* in 2016. Support for Republicans became much more strongly associated with living in rural areas in 2016—and this pattern then remained stable in 2020.

I've had the honour to convene this seminar series about the politics of immigration and exclusion. Looking forward to learning more about the research by @turnbulldugarte.com @profsob.bsky.social @katharinalawall.bsky.social @distasioval.bsky.social and @stefaniesprong.bsky.social + drinks after!

Brigitte Bardot has been fined for racism multiple times, she called muslim immigrants "filthy", she openly supported the far right like few other celebrities in Europe. She was not "controversial," she was a hateful homophobe, racist and bigot.

Here's a relatively recent (2024) syllabus for an MA course on #farright #voting

Every election these days seems to be between an authoritarian, corrupt, and terrible person, who runs on security issues and anti-immigration, versus a seemingly nice, but somewhat boring person lacking visions. And then it is 50:50 who wins.

DOGE was A LOT less likely to cancel contracts from companies that donated money to Republicans than companies that donated to Democrats.

It’s almost as if perceptions of Santa’s politics reflect voters’ own politics 😱 doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

🤷Does tribal thinking toward ethnic out-groups shape policy support? ➡️Using visual conjoints in Germany and the Netherlands, @bertous.bsky.social & @turnbulldugarte.com show that nativists support policies selectively based on group cues www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

I’ve found that many academics confuse their idiosyncratic tastes about how academic work should be done with laws that everyone else must follow. This tendency shows up again and again in their feedback and advice.

New publication with @turnbulldugarte.com in @psrm.bsky.social! 🧵 We study whether citizens’ liberal values are selective: do people support policies based on who promotes them? Short answer: Yes, and it's driven by ethnic out-group disidentification. (1/11) 👇 doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

In our first paper on instrumental inclusion we showed that people update their views on LGBTQ+ rights in response to out-group threat. Here we extend the theory to test diverse cases of selective inclusion doi.org/10.1017/psrm...
