I'm back on BlueSky after an unintentionally long hiatus. Looking forward to reconnecting! Anyway, a project that I'm super proud of was published today, demonstrating that gaze causally affects vote choice, and is amplified by issue importance. Check it out if you like attention stuff! #commsky

Issue importance amplifies the effect of gaze on voting decisions

There are many factors that can influence a voter’s decision in the ballot booth but not all of them are policy related. One non-policy factor that ma…

Excited to share new work out of #teamfluency led by Rachel Wade. This experiment shows that making medical forms about family health history easier makes people want to engage more with their family health history. short forms = better. Way to go Rae!! journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

During my campus commute, I’ve found a new love for audiobooks. In particular, I have not been able to stop talking about and thinking about Doppelganger by Naomi Klein. It’s social media, politics, polarization, historical analysis, Freudian psychology, media studies, and self-identity. 5⭐️
