How do voters perceive the political ads they receive, and what effect does their perception have? 📱 Using data donations from Germany and the US, a recent study finds that microtargeting in online political ads works largely through perceived tailoring. Read the study recap:

🥳 New Paper with @jadevrielink.bsky.social and @skruikemeier.bsky.social: on how voters perceive the political ads they receive, and why that tailoring perception matters more than we usually assume. 🧵 1/3 📄 doi.org/10.1080/1369...
Hand-drawn doodle illustration in three steps. On the left, a large smartphone with "VOTE for me" on the screen, surrounded by small icons such as animals and speech bubbles. An arrow points to a smiling person looking thoughtful, with thought bubbles above showing the same motifs (pets, music, people). Another arrow points to the same person, now beaming, holding up the smartphone with the "VOTE for me" ad and giving a thumbs up. The illustration shows how political advertising that feels personally relevant is evaluated more positively.

SSH Expert Meeting – Disinformation | NWO
Disinformation poses a growing challenge to democratic society. How does it influence our search for truth, decision-making, and social cohesion? And how can science, media, and practice work together to find structural solutions? During this SSH Expert Meeting, we bring together researchers from the social sciences and humanities with societal partners to explore these urgent questions. Drawing on disciplines such as philosophy, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, communication science, journalism, public administration, law, and education, disinformation is examined in all its dimensions: from its causes and dissemination to its impact and possible interventions.
