Optimistic reading: this is a sign of recovering norms against publicly supporting radical-right authoritarianism.

Jesse Frederik heeft zo'n grafiek in zijn Correspondent-artikel waar je het verband ziet tussen asielaanvragen en de rechtspopulistische stem (hij kijkt naar salience). Ik dacht, ik maak eens een simpel grafiekje van asielaanvragen en het electoraal succes van het rechtspopulisme alhier.

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

🔔🔔 Russian polls have shown ~75% support for the war in Ukraine since February 2022, essentially flat. New working paper with Kirill Chmel and @nikitasavin.bsky.social shows that number is stable partly because it stopped measuring what people actually think. 🧵 ssrn.com/abstract=711...

PhD students and postdocs in the social sciences: if you're based around Madrid or up for a trip to Madrid, come present at @uc3m.es PAPERSS Seminars! It's a great opportunity to outline your research to a group of peers, receive high-quality feedback and, most importantly, Chinese lunch next door.

If you’re in dire need of some climate optimism (or optimistic news coverage in general), I really recommend subscribing to the newsletter from @fixthenews.com.web.brid.gy. Great reporting on the energy transition, which is the only thing preventing me from dooming out in this stifling heat.

Had an amazing time at EPSS this year and I’m hoping to be able to go again next year. In that light: organising next year’s conference in one of Europe’s most expensive capitals might not be the most accessible choice, especially for early-career researchers and those not based in Western Europe.

I think this perspective oversimplifies things. The point is that social desirability isn't a concern if 1) a study is conducted anonymously and 2) participants truly believe that it is. In the context of China, the latter condition doesn't hold. Especially not in a study about governmental trust.

To maintain our democracy, it is said that we should uphold democratic norms. But do these norms really exist among citizens? And do they play favourites when enforcing them?

Labour is desperately trying to appeal to Reform supporters. In October, we asked people in the UK if they perceive a party as a "party for someone like them". Only very few people say this for both Labour and Reform. The correlation is negative. Labour is chasing an electorate that does not exist.

Not as much of an expert as some commenting on this, but I feel like the "welp, this is the end of online survey research" response is a bit defeatist. Provided that the recommendations made in this paper are followed (!!!), I think a transformation of how surveys are implemented is more likely.

Given that b) wasn't the case, the PVV did shrink, with voters citing its exclusion by other parties as their reason to switch. A tiny silver lining in an otherwise pretty depressing election: the radical right is as large as ever and the left smaller than ever.

Methodological question for #Polisky or #Academicsky: I struggle a bit with online list experiments aiming to bypass social desirability. After all, there's no need to appear appropriate in an anonymous online survey to begin with, unlike f2f. Does anyone know of a paper that contradicts my hunch?
