It is an absolute damning indictment of everyone on BlueSky that I pocket posted this and no one responded. I’m leaving this up for posterity.

This project has been a long time coming—this version has a brand new conjoint experiment on immigrant background voters, looking at what really matters for them as they choose between parties on the right. Check it out!

Excited for the use of AI to automate my workflow to free up more time for my real passion: posting bad faith reactionary centrist takes on Twitter

Though see Clayton et. al 2021 “Elite rhetoric can undermine democratic norms,” which finds exposure to Trump rhetoric decreases trust/confidence in elections. Effect is concentrated among his supporters, though. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🔑 takeaway: forcing agents of misinfo to admit they lied is not only satisfying (and kind of funny) but effective at 📈 accurate beliefs and decreasing likelihood to consume misinfo in future. (Big thanks to the editors, reviewers, and friends/colleagues for supporting the project!)

I conduct two survey experiments showing respondents clips from Fox News & Alex Jones admitting they lied about the 2020 election 🗳️ and 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook. These admissions: 1) reduce all tested misperceptions; 2) reduce intention to watch 🦊 News and Alex Jones in future.

I’m seeing Luis Antonio Tagle as one of the joint favorites and as much of a progressive as you can expect while being, you know, a cardinal. Unclear whether this is a doubly decisive test though.

Quotations putting in a lot of work—but I’m so excited to see this finally out! The best kind of paper: intuitive yet creative; methodologically sensitive yet very readable. And the lesson? If you give people rights, they take steps to “belong” more to the state—a win win!

You’re just leveraging unexpected events (errors) in survey fielding (design)
