#Civicbase brings upvoting and downvoting to preference measurement—but with a budget.

Participants can select or agree or disagree buttons (up to 7 times) to allocate a limited voting credits (that carry over to future studies?).

May reveal priorities that Likert scales and ranked-choices cannot.

Presumably, this could be used for all sorts of preferences (beyond civics/politics).

When parties select ethnic minorities for their candidate lists, do they select ♂️ men or ♀️ women?

If you look at #history as a series of groups of people, no smarter than you or I and often less smart, acting as if they know what’s going on in order to preserve their own dominance, it makes a lot more sense. #philosophy #poliSci

New accepted paper with Shree Vallabha and Felicity Turner-Zwinkels!

The onset of COVID-19 made people feel stressed and threatened, but *did not cause much attitude change*

The change that was found, wasn't predicted by dominant theories.

Lots of robustness checks & the conclusions hold

I sincerely hope that this kind of thinking will take off. Parties are a good thing, and our excessive candidate-centeredness is dangerous and unproductive. #Polisci #Democracy #USPol

Since there is a new #PoliticalPsychology group, I share my latest article, which may be of interest, as a group post. #Polisci and #psychology researchers should check the new group if they are interested in political psychology: @politicalpsychology

Here is the link to the article entitled 'The Role of #Dehumanization in Legitimation and Delegitimation of State Violence in #Colombia', published in Culture & Psychology: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1354067X231164795

Let’s give this a second try. Already enough political scientists and other experts on here to properly let me doomscroll? #polisci

Prediction errors predict belief change for both Republicans and Democrats, although the effect is stronger for Democrats in one study

For the #polisci & public opinion crew:

In psychology there are papers that tally what types of samples are most often used in the field (E.g., XX% college students, YY% Mturk etc). Are there any examples of this from your own fields?

Essentially, I'm trying to put some approximate numbers to the different norms in types of sample that I see

People like political ingroups more than outgroups around the world

This gap is widened when people share belief system *structure* and narrowed when they share belief system *content*

How do people vote when their ideology conflicts with their ethnocentrism?

For people with strong ideologies, the effect of ethnocentrism is minimal, but for people with weaker ideological commitments, ethnocentrism is key

#congressh Day 2: navigated the traffic on the 401 and late to the #keynote, but here now, though coming in late with #Starbucks, literally.

It's presentation day! Was able to print out a paper copy I can scribble on courtesy of my sister (a #polisci grad student) and her access to the printer in the political science department grad lounge. Navigating #YorkU is a bit of an undertaking...

🚨 New publication in Governance

Political legitmacy is central to political research, but how can it be measured? 🌡️ 🤔

We develop a new six-item scale and apply this on a large and diverse group of citizens, politicians, civil servants and civil society actors

What gets Native Americans politically and civically engaged?

4 studies with 11,000+ Native Americans finds that identifying as Native was associated with engaging in get-out-the-vote behaviors and intentions to engage in civic activities in the future

Effects likely do to the recognition of the omission of their group from society and perceive greater group discrimination
