Now out: our study on what citizens imagine their political opponents to be like in Brazil, the UK, Germany & Poland 💭 We use open-ended survey answers to show how political stereotypes often blur issues, groups, traits, voters and elites. Paper: doi.org/10.1177/0032... See thread for a summary 👇

Does affective polarization itself actually threaten democracy? Recent experiments from the US suggest maybe not. In our new @ejprjournal.bsky.social paper, we revisit this question comparatively with a survey experiment in 9 democracies (18,000 respondents). #polisky

New working paper with @eelcoharteveld.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/so... Does thinking of political opponents in terms of their ideas, personality traits or social make-up change how we feel and reason about them? We explore this question through a pre-registered experiment in the Netherlands 👇

What do citizens imagine their political opponents to be like? Polarization is real, but it also lives in our heads, fueled by stereotypes. We asked people in 🇧🇷, 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪 & 🇵🇱 to describe opponents in their own words. With @jnareal.bsky.social, @markuswagner.bsky.social & @piotrmarczynski.bsky.social 👇

In een lopend onderzoek met Jonathan Rodden vergelijk ik stad-platteland verschillen in verkiezingsuitslagen tussen landen. Zojuist TK verkiezingen in NL toegevoegd aan dataset. Een paar dingen vallen op: 1. De verschillen in NL zijn sinds 2012 steeds licht toegenomen en het hoogst in ruim 40 jaar.
