Here's a short blog post summarizing research I've been conducting with @pieterdewilde.bsky.social, @andreavik.bsky.social, and @leneaaroe.bsky.social over the past couple of years. Political activists can make people feel politically represented, which also boosts their satisfaction with democracy!

We all feel emotions like anger and disgust from time to time, but they seem to cause stronger bodily sensations when they're politically induced

You don’t just think about politics, you physically feel it in your body

You don’t just think about politics, you physically feel it in your body
A new study reveals that people physically feel political emotions differently than everyday feelings. These unique bodily sensations, like a tense chest, reliably predict whether someone will actually vote, protest, or engage in democracy.

Political emotions are experienced differently in the body compared to everyday feelings, and the intensity of these embodied emotions predicts higher political participation. doi.org/hb3qbz

How we feel political emotions in our bodies—and why this matters for democracy
Researchers have found our emotions toward politics not only play on our minds, but shape how our bodies respond to political experiences, even driving political participation higher.

Charts reveal where your feelings about politics are felt in the body
Most Brits are probably feeling more than their usual share of political anxiety at the moment. Now, charts reveal exactly where your feelings about the current state of affairs are felt in the body.

🦋 I've got butterflies in my whole body today: our paper is out in @pnas.org! I'd say thats on theme.. Together with @alexgalvezpol.bsky.social, Sohee Park, and @mtsakiris.bsky.social we mapped how people feel political emotions in their bodies. Turns out politics doesn’t just play on our minds…

Strong endorse, for so many reasons. Two of the reasons are that thinking takes time and creativity takes time. The productivity machine turning everything into a numbers race is bad for the work and bad for the people doing the work.

Dette er også tilfældet på min Instagram-konto. Om det er en fejl eller ej, ved jeg ikke. Men der er en påmindelse om, at vi skal være opmærksomme på, at vi har ladet vores informationsmiljø blive afhængig af et land, som vi nu må berede os på bevæger sig i en mere autoritær retning.

Helt absurd at Vedum påstår at en *politisk debatt for fire år siden* skulle ha påvirket 16-17-åringers bruk av kokain i dag (som tilfeldigvis øker over hele Europa samtidig). Jeg tror ikke han tror på det selv heller, dette er ren valgkampskremsel. #dax18
