Together with @hajoboo.bsky.social & @solecheler.bsky.social I wanted to test whether nudges can reduce news avoidance as limited news consumption—and to do so beyond established Western democracies. 🧵👇tandfonline.comThe Role of Choice Architecture in Mitigating News AvoidanceNews avoidance has become more common and is associated with negative democratic outcomes.

Dominik Hokamp @dominikhokamp.bsky.social · 16/06/2025✍🏻 Over the last year, I have conducted 36 semi-structured interviews with Austrian politicians in two waves: The emotional capital available to them is causal to their position of power in the political field, as ones with low capital tend to drop out of politics or remain in backbench positions 010
Dominik Hokamp @dominikhokamp.bsky.social · 16/06/2025💡 Drawing on the Bourdesian concept of emotional capital, I argue that political actors first need to learn and acculturate the emotional "rules of the game" to use this embodied knowlegde later in election contexts 110

Dominik Hokamp @dominikhokamp.bsky.social · 13/04/2024🔮 in the upcoming months we will conduct semi-structured interviews with both politicians and journalists to identify those emotional communities in everyday practice and interactions. (5/5) 000
Dominik Hokamp @dominikhokamp.bsky.social · 13/04/2024🫂 by zooming in (and out) we can make sense of the chaos of communities, structures and characteristics (such as temporality, spatiality, density, or stability) within each community, as well as the turmoil of actors who have to juggle multiple feeling rules at the same time. (4/5) 100
Dominik Hokamp @dominikhokamp.bsky.social · 13/04/2024🆕 we propose focusing on the emotional communities in which actors from both sides are placed. as actors can be (and probably always are) members of mulitple, overlapping, sometimes opposing emotional communities, this allows us to get a better picture of actors' positions within the field. (3/5) 100
Dominik Hokamp @dominikhokamp.bsky.social · 13/04/2024ℹ️ current research on emotions in political journalism sometimes seems to be stuck in dichotomies, seperating rationality/objectivity from emotionality or treating both politics and journalism as seperable institutions. (2/5) 100
