Me & my very able former colleague and now doctoral candidate Lisa Walter (not on Bluesky yet) just published a new article in @ersjournal.com
We examine how discrimination shapes immigrants and their descendants’ trust in the police in Germany.

Beyond police encounters: everyday racism and trust in the police
Trust in the police is essential for democratic legitimacy, yet it is declining across Western Europe. Immigrants and their descendants, who face disproportionate levels of discrimination, report p...

Published in Pers.Indiv.Differ. with my formidable former colleague Almuth 🎆 @dezim-institut.de on the general mechanisms of PRRP support. We show: low tolerance for ambiguity connects personality traits to right-wing authoritarianism, populist att & anti-immigrant sentiment -> higher AfD support.

Previous studies suggest that personality traits (e.g., the Big Five) influence voting behavior for radical right parties (RRPs) indirectly via ideolo…

From climate crisis to energy crisis: foster public support for renewable energy transition through framing by Catherine Y. Chen, @vreben.bsky.social, @lwhitmarsh.bsky.social & Cäzilia Loibl

doi.org/10.1080/0964...
ABSTRACT Under the long-standing backdrop of the climate crisis, would communication about acute energy crises encourage the public’s support for policies facilitating the adoption of renewable energy technologies? Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we conducted a survey experiment in the United Kingdom (N = 2,760) in early 2024 to test the effects of three messages (energy affordability, energy independence, climate change vs. control) aimed to encourage support for renewable adoption policies. We find that across all respondents, the climate-change and energy-affordability messages increase policy support, while the effect of the energy-independence message is nonsignificant. The energy independence message increased policy support among the political center-right but not among the political left; it also increased policy support among those not concerned about climate change, but not among the climate-concerned. Contrary to expectations, the energy affordability message increased policy support among moderate-to-high-income respondents but not low-income respondents.

We crowdsourced 85 teams to indep. computationally reproduce results from a single study in randomized conditions. Reproducibility:

• depends heavily on the transparency of materials
• high (~95%) for same sign/sig, but low (btw. 48-77% depending on transparency) when requiring within 0.1 effects

Evergreen cartoon
A cartoon depicts a man and a woman walking side by side on a street. The woman wears a stylish dress and holds a purse, while the man is in a suit. The caption reads, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.”
