Overall, this article can bridge three strands of literature: (a) autocratization, (b) democratic attitudes, (c) transnational learning. Like my recent publications and other works in my pipeline, this paper’s focus lies in the intersection of the three circles.

To test which expectation is correct, I re-use two European datasets collected amid Trump’s victory back in 2016. Findings? 🥁🥁🥁 Benchmark effect, though the magnitude is small I also explore various kinds of heterogeneity effects. The one that I focus on is motivated reasoning through ideology

Chan Ka Ming (Bo) @chankaming.bsky.social · 18/08/2025
Another is benchmark effect: expecting SWD 📈. The benchmark effect can link to works on economic voting, Brexit, pandemic One important resource that I use is De Vries’ book. The alternative state in the ref. country (autocratization) can serve as benchmark for citizens to evaluate their democracy

Chan Ka Ming (Bo) @chankaming.bsky.social · 18/08/2025
There are two effects we can think of for this research puzzle. One is contagion/domino effect: expecting SWD 📉 The theoretical underpinning can date back to Huntington’s seminal work “The Third Wave”

Research article "When Does Fame Not Matter? Examining Gender Differences in Politicians’ Social Media Experiences" by Maarja Lühiste, Stiene Praet, Sebastian Adrian Popa, Yannis Theocharis, Pablo Barberá, Zoltán Fazekas and Joshua A. Tucker,
Abstract begins: Past research alerts to the increasingly unpleasant climate surrounding public debate on social media. Female politicians, in particular, are reporting serious attacks targeted at them. Yet, research offers inconclusive insights regarding the gender gap in online incivility. This paper aims to address this gap by comparing politicians with varying levels of prominence and public status in different institutional contexts. Using a machine learning approach for analyzing over 23 million tweets addressed to politicians in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, we find little consistent evidence of a gender gap in the proportion of incivility.
