Psychological Science special issue call 📣 Ever had your research denigrated bc it's "only descriptive", "what's the mechanism though?" and "but what are the theoretical implications?" Now has come your time to shine. Send your best descriptive work! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Psychological Science invites submissions that advance psychological science through careful description of psychological phenomena. Psychological research often focuses on explaining and predicting phenomena before we have a sufficiently detailed understanding of them. It can be difficult to build strong theories on incomplete empirical foundations of the phenomena themselves. Careful descriptive research helps establish shared empirical reference points developed around well-characterized phenomena. As such, descriptive research contributes to psychological science both by improving our understanding of the phenomena themselves and by providing a stronger foundation for future theory-building, explanation, and prediction.

We are interested in manuscripts that:

Deepen our understanding of psychological phenomena, including what they look like, how they vary, and how they unfold;
Draw on a variety of sources of evidence and methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches; research conducted in naturalistic settings; intensive, longitudinal, or small-sample designs; and open or large-scale datasets;
Provide necessary context for interpreting what is being described, including who is represented in the data, the settings and circumstances in which phenomena occur, and the broader social contexts in which they are situated; and/or
Make a substantive contribution to psychological science through the quality, depth, or significance of the description provided.
The deadline for submitting regular manuscripts is April 15, 2027. Registered Reports will also be considered. The deadline for submitting Stage 1 Registered Reports is November 15, 2026. Authors should indicate in the “Comments to Editor” box during submission that the manuscript is intended for the “Descriptive Research in Psychological Science” special issue.

And for those not especially interested in debt: you can also read the paper as an example of a study that seeks to arbitrate between competing arguments looking at more than one quantity of interest. (👋@aeggers.bsky.social) 7/7

Charlotte Cavaille @ccavaille.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

We are now living in the world we had imagined back in 2020...though we did not expect a US/Israeli war with Iran to make fiscal conditions even worse. Now the dream would be to work with a macro economist on related topics. 6/7

Charlotte Cavaille @ccavaille.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

So we decided to take a closer look at how voters think about fiscal policy in high-debt contexts. We designed a study that, if it found evidence of a "demand" for a balanced budget, would force us to change our priors. Results are shared here and our priors have not changed! 5/7

160

Charlotte Cavaille @ccavaille.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

In contrast, we were mostly obsessing over elites and market discipline. Our own toy model of fiscal policy—strongly inspired by Buchanan—does not include a bottom-up pro-austerity electoral dynamic. If voters matter, it is for their role in debt accumulation. 4/7

Charlotte Cavaille @ccavaille.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

At the time, much of the literature was still shaped by the 2008 financial crisis. One recurring argument was that austerity was, at least in part, a response to voter demand. 3/7

Fascinating piece, check it out. The materialist in me is a little bummed that easing resource competition does not seem to help (the results are interesting to read in tandem with my paper on Austria with J. Ferwerda). On the other hand, suggests a fascinating research agenda on welfare chauvinism.
