Excited to share my latest paper with @snsoroka.bsky.social. We show cross-cutting patterns in news commentary, drawing on a unique dataset of 250 million comments from six million users on a news aggregator. If you're interested in collective dynamics of news commentary, this might be for you!

my papers aren’t about message testing, but do call for and then test attention as the DV using pshyio experiments in a free choice setting :) maybe they have some relevance to this discussion with @kwcollins.bsky.social !! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... and www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

this study was quite a challenge (learning JavaScript and recruiting participants off the street are no joke!), but I’m so excited it’s finally out for the world to read 🥹

I find that, amongst subjects who decided to leave a video before it ended, most of the time (~70%) they left with decreased activation. on average, then, these findings uphold the idea from the physio literature that there is a positive correlation between activation and attention.

subjects navigated a custom built YouTube-like website w/ 35 pretested videos, and were allowed to watch each video they chose for as long as they wanted. there were entertainment and news clips, positive and negative. when they wanted to choose a new clip, they were given a choice of a random pair.

my first solo-authored paper (and the second chapter of my dissertation!) is out now in PLS 🥳 in this paper, using a psychophysiological experiment in a free-choice environment, I investigate whether increased activation leads to attention or avoidance 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/pls....
