📢 First paper from my PhD dissertation now out in JEPOP! Parties don’t just campaign on policies. They also try to convince voters they’re competent, trustworthy and capable of governing. But do valence appeals actually relate to polling gains during election campaigns? 📄 doi.org/10.1080/1745...

🥳 New Paper with @jadevrielink.bsky.social and @skruikemeier.bsky.social: on how voters perceive the political ads they receive, and why that tailoring perception matters more than we usually assume. 🧵 1/3 📄 doi.org/10.1080/1369...
Hand-drawn doodle illustration in three steps. On the left, a large smartphone with "VOTE for me" on the screen, surrounded by small icons such as animals and speech bubbles. An arrow points to a smiling person looking thoughtful, with thought bubbles above showing the same motifs (pets, music, people). Another arrow points to the same person, now beaming, holding up the smartphone with the "VOTE for me" ad and giving a thumbs up. The illustration shows how political advertising that feels personally relevant is evaluated more positively.

💭 Looks like the heat wave has brought some attention to my study - enough that it got a mention in the New York Times 👉 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/w... It’s also a good example of how weather extremes can shift public attention toward climate change (without necessarily prompting policy change).
