Citizens as a democratic safeguard? The sequence of sanctioning elite attacks on democracy by Marc S. Jacob is now available in Early View. ajps.org/2024/04/17/cit…
“Americans are worried that AI will shock the political landscape." @dartmouth professor @seanjwestwood discusses a new report from the Polarization Research Lab (@PRL_Tweets) on public concerns about AI, misinformation, and democracy. bit.ly/43UIEdo
“Democracy is under threat in America, but these data show we are not on the brink of a citizen-supported push toward authoritarianism." @dartmouth professor @seanjwestwood discusses the latest findings from the Polarization Research Lab (@PRL_Tweets). bit.ly/3x4J18V
NEW in PNAS from PRL👉 @d_e_holliday, Shanto Iyengar, @ylelkes, and @seanjwestwood: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We find that Americans of both parties overwhelmingly support democratic norms and reject political violence, despite antidemocratic behavior from political elites. 🧵1/7
So happy to see this now published at @PNASNews! This paper, coauthored with Shanto Iyengar, @ylelkes, and @seanjwestwood, was my first project for @PRL_Tweets, and there will be many more coming soon 🥳 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
NEW: in @apsrjournal we report a treasure trove of data from inside dozens of campaigns’ own experiments on persuasion The data reveal experimentation at a vast scale that is revolutionizing campaigning challenges academic theories & could have implications for democracy 🧵
New from PRL, @seanjwestwood, and @ylelkes: We are excited to announce the launch of a monthly report series: The Path to the Presidential Election of 2024! Our first briefing examines Americans’ support for partisan violence. Read the full report prlpublic.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/Januar…
In a new working paper Abhi Ramaswamy and I provide the most comprehensive evaluation, to date, of the empirical claims made in Trump’s lawsuits after the 2020 election. All of the claims we evaluate fail to provide evidence of fraud or illegal voting. shorturl.at/zEJR2
Thank you to the best collaborators @betsylevyp @seanjwestwood @maya_sen @namalhotra and Stephen Jessee This project was demanding, but we were resilient. And the end product is something I’m extremely proud of
“[T]he misinformation panic is largely misguided … [T]hose who consume high rates of misinformation are largely hyper-partisans or dogmatists anyway. Moreover, even when people’s misinformed beliefs are corrected, this often seems to have little effect on their behaviour.”

The movie Civil War comes out tomorrow. We asked two political violence researchers, @seanjwestwood and Thomas @zeitzoff, for their thoughts on the likelihood of civil war in America. startswith.us/2024/04/10/civ…
The right approach here is to investigate big important questions and answer them well
The art of social science is combining the right analysis and evidence (method) with the right substantive question. It should not be thought of as a frontier where you trade off empirical rigour against substantive import.

well, spoiler alert i guess, but turns out The 3 Body Problem is *not* about a throuple all trying to find T-T jobs at the same university
The @PRL_Tweets Polarization Research Lab's annual meeting is probably the best conference I've been to. Nicely curated, high-quality projects and great discussions. Highly encourage folks to apply next year!
Yeahh, PRL annual meeting is my favorite conference!! Thank @seanjwestwood @ylelkes and @PRL_Tweets team sooo much for being very generous to host this conference!! It was really nice catching up with old friends and meeting new friends!!!

“Democracy is under threat in America, but these data show we are not on the brink of a citizen-supported push toward authoritarianism." @dartmouth professor @seanjwestwood discusses the latest findings from the Polarization Research Lab (@PRL_Tweets). bit.ly/3x4J18V
NEW in PNAS from PRL👉 @d_e_holliday, Shanto Iyengar, @ylelkes, and @seanjwestwood: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We find that Americans of both parties overwhelmingly support democratic norms and reject political violence, despite antidemocratic behavior from political elites. 🧵1/7
So happy to see this now published at @PNASNews! This paper, coauthored with Shanto Iyengar, @ylelkes, and @seanjwestwood, was my first project for @PRL_Tweets, and there will be many more coming soon 🥳 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
"Evaluating (in)experience in congressional elections" is now online @AJPS_Editor We find that *half* of freshmen elected to the U.S. House today are amateurs who possess no elected background and unpack the reasons why! Stay tuned for our book project doi.org/10.1111/ajps.1…
👀 I’ve never tried presenting a medley of 2.5 papers in the same talk before - let’s see whether that’s a smart idea… Thanks for the opportunity @ylelkes @seanjwestwood 😅👌🏻
Last few days to apply to present at the PRL meeting! Deadline Friday, 12/15 ⏲️ Domestic travel, lodging, food covered for accepted attendees 🎉 Application form on this page 👇 polarizationresearchlab.org/annual-meeting/
NEW: in @apsrjournal we report a treasure trove of data from inside dozens of campaigns’ own experiments on persuasion The data reveal experimentation at a vast scale that is revolutionizing campaigning challenges academic theories & could have implications for democracy 🧵
This project became possible thanks to the generous grant from @PRL_Tweets! Their invaluable support for early-stage researchers is truly remarkable. 🙏 @ylelkes @seanjwestwood

Amen to this. We should welcome rigorous academic inquiries from all walks of life. The idea of only entertaining intellectual contributions if they align with a researcher’s identity sounds incredibly limiting and sophomoric.
Relatedly, the idea that we should trust or distrust research based on a researcher’s social identity misses the point of science. Science appeals to transparent procedures and evidence because taking someone’s word for things, based on identity or anything else, is fraught.

Inane opinion. The underlying assumption is that black people are exotic, unknowable others and so the only reason a white guy might be interested in black history is if they have a weird intellectual fetish. Let people study what they want. Also Black history is American history
I feel bad for Nate. It's his hubris that his statistics skills gave him special insights into politics that led to his losing the thing he created. He's not alone. The world of punditry demands that you constantly express opinions on things you are not an expert of
I have a lot of other skills such as not giving a fuck about what dumb people like this think.
@VSapiro @ProfHansNoel @YouGovAmerica I'd be very curious to hear the question wording you might prefer. In our admittedly quick scan of recent polling, this one question seemed to be a valuable one (and among the most commonly asked) given that we could only include a single question.
