🚨Super excited to share this new WP with Joohye Jeong, @adamberinsky.bsky.social, Soong & Parker. We ask a simple but extremely practical Q for survey researchers: 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬/𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲? Answer: Not really, no. 👍

My first survey experiment is finally out! I examine how Americans define the racial boundaries of Americanness. Two main findings: (1) a tripartite ranking of Whites > Blacks > Latinos & Asians, and (2) divergence in patterns between one’s own beliefs vs. beliefs of others. A 🧵

My latest paper out in AJS! I argue that Americans' immigration attitudes are shaped not just by cultural or economic considerations, but by perceptions of political (mis)alignment. That is, there is a logic of conditional inclusiveness that informs immigration attitudes. A thread below 🧵

Our new paper is out today in @pnasnexus.org with colleagues at Yale (@matthewshu.com, Danny Karell, @keitarookura.bsky.social) We wanted to understand how using AI-generated summaries to learn about history influenced attitudes compared to existing resources like Wikipedia. 1/4

highly recommend this paper. the experimental design manipulates how much subjects are monitored; when asked, yes treated subjects feel more monitored. Do they later give different responses on possibly sensitive topics? no they don't.

🎺 Call for proposals 🎺 1️⃣ replicate an existing experiment 2️⃣ run a novel experiment on repdata.com 3️⃣ coauthor with Mary McGrath and me to meta-analyze the replications and existing studies 4️⃣ publish your study details: alexandercoppock.com/replication_... applications open Feb 1 please repost!
Call for Proposals: Data Collection for
Replication+Novel Political Science Survey Experiments
Alexander Coppock and Mary McGrath
January 27, 2026
We invite proposals for a survey experiment replication+novel design competition. Se-
lected replication+novel design survey experiments will be conducted on large samples of
American respondents, quota sampled to match U.S. Census margins and filtered for quality
and attention by the survey sample provider Rep Data (repdata.com).
Each proposal consists of two parts: (1) a replication study of an existing, previously
published survey experiment, and (2) a novel experimental design on a topic of the authors’
choosing.
The replication studies and reanalyses of the existing studies will be combined into a
meta-paper to be co-authored by all authors of accepted proposals along with the princi-
pal investigators (Coppock and McGrath). As a condition for acceptance, authors commit
to sharing the data and producing a write-up of the findings from their novel design for
submission to a scholarly journal, and public posting of a working paper pre-publication.

What are Americans’ perceptions of immigrants’ politics? How do beliefs about whether newcomers are future allies or adversaries shape immigration attitudes? A new #AJS article shows that perceived partisan (mis)alignment powerfully informs US public opinion on immigration.

How do ordinary Americans define the boundaries of U.S. national membership? In this working paper (w/ @sakeefkarim.bsky.social), we combine conjoint data with latent class regressions to examine how Americans intuitively judge who is truly American. osf.io/preprints/so...
