What happens when politicians pivot during a crisis? I examine Trump’s July 2020 mask pivot. It increased Republican mask use, closing 40% of the partisan gap. But paradoxically, beliefs about masks' efficacy didn’t change. doi.org/10.1177/0003... @asanews.bsky.social #Trump #PublicHealth

Great theory paper by Fasang, @robgruijters.bsky.social, and @zjvanwinkle.bsky.social from a field where I least expected it onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
A theoretical framework for analyzing family life courses. Figure 1 re-organizes and extends core principles of the life course paradigm by specifying
(1) possible interacting relationships between predictors and (2) family life course outcomes on
different levels of analysis. We distinguish the macro, meso, and micro levels, which broadly
resonate with the core principles of time and place, linked lives, and agency in Elder et al.
(2003) and the dimension of “levels” in the life course cube (Bernardi et al., 2019).
