New paper out in @JCRNEWS How do consumers react to political ads that meddle in the primaries of the opposing party? In the most recent elections, Democrats did something strange.

Good: presenting back-to-back with my good friend, the one and only @david_broska Better: our post-presentation wawa in washington square #ASA2023 @pascl_stanford

It was an honor –and so much fun!– to present back-to-back with the fabulous @jsmernyk at #ASA2023 Group Processes. I presented on the Belief in the American Dream and Support for Welfare Programs, ongoing (hard) work with my terrific collaborators @luiza_a_santos and @RobbWiller

I'm glad to see that this work with Sophia Pink, Jamie Druckman, and @RobbWiller getting coverage, especially as threats of political violence ramp up. Open access link to the paper being referenced here: pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

The @AP highlighted research from @jsmernyk of our @pascl_stanford on how correcting misperceptions can reduce support for partisan violence. apnews.com/article/politi…



Congratulations and thanks to all those who supported this effort, we made a union!

We won. ❤️✊

.@pascl_stanford Director @RobbWiller & PhD Fellows @jgvoelkel & @jsmernyk published research on how economically progressive candidates can appeal to a broader electorate by framing their policy platform in terms of “binding values." Read via @PNASNexus: bit.ly/435RFhP


Feeling v lucky to have collaborated with this incredibly talented team led by @suji_kang_ and Jamie Druckman!

(1/n) Now out @PNASNews, we show that correcting legislators' misperceptions of out-partisan voters reduces legislators’ own support for undemocratic practices (SUP) and animosity toward out-partisans. Check below what we found! ⬇️ pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

People want us to know they are kind - but we dislike it when they perform kindness in public (vs private). Why? Surprisingly, in this preprint, it's less that we think they selfishly signal how kind they are. It's more that they seem less principled. psyarxiv.com/hsjta/

🚨 New paper alert🚨 (data from 🇩🇪 and 🇺🇸) Can the media help us bridge divides? How can we communicate facts in an era of "fake news"? See our new paper in press at Political Psychology @kurtjgray @CvSikorski psyarxiv.com/urwxg 🧵below!


Come for the high-impact research, stay for the snacks (seriously, we have great snacks)

🚨🚨Come work with us!🚨🚨 I'm excited to announce that Stanford's Polarization and Social Change Lab is recruiting two new, post-doctoral positions: a Postdoctoral Scholar and a Research Scholar! See full thread below for info on both. Please share!

Here is the most comprehensive review I have found of research on whether social media is associated with harms to democracy. For established democracies, mostly yes. @chris_bail and I drew on an early version of it for our review doc: docs.google.com/document/d/1vV…

This systematic review finds beneficial relationships mostly in authoritarian contexts but detrimental associations in established democracies for different political variables across methods. @lorenz_spreen @LisaFOswaldo @STWorg @arc_mpib buff.ly/3DID01m

Americans are extraordinarily wrong about who is around us. Respondents estimate there are 60 million people in the US making more than $1M / year, and 100 million NYC residents!!! Is this availability heuristic? Inattention to base rates? How?! h/t @CFCamerer
