On 3/19, M*sk posted "Some people just want to watch the world burn" in response to a video of a Telsa dealership on fire. So I emailed @vinarceneaux.bsky.social about new data UD's CPC has on Need for Chaos & Trust in Musk. TLDR: Folks who want to watch the world burn trust Musk MORE, not less.🧵

On X, EndWokeness says "democrats refuse to condemn this because they support it" (above video of a tesla dealership on fire. Musk replies "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

What do populist voters want from their government? In this research note, I found some interesting answers to this question. The TL;DR is that they want more democracy, not less democracy, but they are willing to achieve in paradoxically illiberal ways (or what seem illiberal to us scholars).

Exposure to counter-stereotypical exemplars of the out-party can improve affect towards the out-party link.springer.com/article/10.1... #socpsych #psychscisky #polpsy

Effect of Moderate vs. Stereotypical Exemplars on Perceptions of Out-Party Ideology. Two Coefficient Plots showing the effect of treatments for Republicans perceptions of Democrats’ ideology and Democrats’ perceptions of Republicans’ ideology. Moderate exemplars moved Republicans’ perceptions in a moderate direction on all issues; this effect was statistically significant for all issues except for taxes. Moderate exemplars moved Democrats’ perceptions in a moderate direction on all issues except taxes; this effect was only statistically significant for perceived position on abortion

Effect of Moderate vs. Stereotypical Exemplars on Affect Towards Out-Party. Two Coefficient Plots showing the effect of treatments for Republicans affect towards Democrats and Democrats’ affect towards Republicans. Moderate exemplars moved Republicans’ affect in a positive direction for all measures of affect; this effect was statistically significant for the overall affect index and the trust index. Moderate exemplars moved Democrats’ perceptions in a positive direction for the overall affect index and the trust index; the effect was statistically significant for the trust index. Moderate exemplars moved Democrats’ affect in a negative direction on the feeling thermometer and social distance index, though neither of these effects were statistically significant

New Preprint! with @bnbakker.bsky.social and Johanna Dunaway. Following previous research, we test the hypothesis that close-in framed photojournalistic portrayals of displaced persons humanize and increase support for helping them. Spoiler alert: We find null results. osf.io/preprints/ps...
