New publication, out in Political Analysis:

There is an increasing array of tools to measure facets of morality in political language. But while they ostensibly measure the same concept, do they actually?

I and @fhopp.bsky.social set out to see what happens.

Now in an issue @psrm.bsky.social: I show that the 🇩🇰 Social Democrats could have won policy support for a pro-immigrant platform if their messaging were framed in moral terms. Findings provide a central corrective to the popular notion that the Social Democrats were destined to go anti-immigrant 👇🏻

Political Science Research and Methods @psrm.bsky.social · Sep 24

👅Can moral language boost pro-immigrant messages and be as effective as anti-immigrant messages?

➡️ @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social shows that pro-immigrant actors are not always bound to lose against the anti-immigrant side www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView #OpenAccess

My favorite paper from my dissertation, co-authored w @gijsschumacher.bsky.social & @mrooduijn.bsky.social, is now available as a preprint! 🤗 If you work on emotions in politics or if you‘re curious about what we can (not) infer from people‘s emotions, check it out! We‘d love to hear what you think!

Gijs Schumacher @gijsschumacher.bsky.social · Jun 5

Are we good at describing our feelings about politics? In our new preprint @mrooduijn.bsky.social @isabellareb.bsky.social we show this is not the case: osf.io/preprints/os... [1/6]
