- Reposted by did:plc:xdfzimryz2e5kkczbbuaex5tMany of us separate between "family photos", social media (e.g., FB/Insta), and political opinions (BS/Threads). Today is a good time to post on "family" social media so our Trump-voting family and friends understand how mad we are, and to puncture their information bubble.

- signal boost!
- Thanks to the authors for compiling this information; this view on our science is truly fascinating. 2023: 40% design-based, 40% model-based, 20% other, among quantitative studies aimed at "explanation" which I understand to mean causal inference. Where we will be in 2043?

- amazing technical feat and confirmation of a long-standing but tough-to-demonstrate prediction that exposure to online partisan animosity causes decreases in out-party warmth. Haters gonna hate, sure, but more hate makes them hate more!
- This paper is great up through table 4 -- very nice RCT evidence that free gym increases exercise and course completion. At table 5, they start controlling for post-treatment variables and drawing unsupported conclusions about mechanisms. Remove to improve!
- Here's hoping for dozens and dozens of experimental estimates of the effects of anti-corruption messages on vote choice. We now have enough studies of populist messages for a meta-analysis (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....); maybe soon we'll be able to do the same for anti-corruption?
- "Corruption is the Achilles' heel of authoritarians," says @adambonica.bsky.social, explaining why opposing corruption (including the legal kind) should be the center of anti-Trump/Democratic politics. So many insights here. newrepublic.com/article/2030...
- (prohibition) persuasion in parallel Had fun reconstructing the data from this 90-year old persuasion experiment that shows that "wet" and "dry" college students update their attitudes in the direction of counterattitudinal persuasive information. paper: doi.org/10.1080/0022...
- Audit experimenters of Bluesky... did you know there's a creator on TikTok who is calling churches, synagogues, and mosques asking if they have baby formula for her two month old? This is a "one condition" study (no causal inference) but hoo boy the descriptives... www.tiktok.com/@nikalie.mon...
- I'm one of those academics who measure message persuasiveness via survey experiment. I think it's absolutely the right method for doing so. I think the response to this good point from @anatosaurus.bsky.social is not to abandon survey exps but instead to measure "getting heard" (attention) also.
- lol at the MPSA shade in the last line of the FAQ
- Please share!: Last week to apply for @epssnet.bsky.social Belfast 2026 really good news is that there's been an amazing response to the call for papers already; now very excited for this meeting ⬇️ We put together a quick FAQ on Qs that have come up on submitting: epssnet.org/conferences/...
- Maybe your texts tell you to "BE A VOTER" like mine. It all started because of a PNAS paper that claimed that the noun form it increased voter turnout (relative to the verb form ) by 11 to 14 percentage points. It keeps not replicating, obviously. Most recently doi.org/10.1017/bpp....
- Doing meta-reanalysis means my coauthors and I are constantly asking for data. This month we heard back from 21 of 32 author teams on first email, all responses "yes" or "soon." (nice!) Innovation: asking authors to post data publicly rather than privately with us via email (4 did, more will!)
- chat's personalized flattery is getting out of hand
- rarely have we needed the "suggestive" results from a "factors associated with" design to have the possibility that X affects Y "suggested" to us
