New paper out in Socio-Economic Review on how doctors and patients talk about the price of care in fertility medicine! I find that the way they talk about money is radically different depending on both the clinic's targeted clientele and organizational structure academic.oup.com/ser/advance-...

New study coming in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social. We asked Americans which topics from the GSS they spend time talking about. Generally, people say they talk about these issues "never" (~40%) or "once or twice in the past year." Religious topics much more common than most political, "social" issues.

turgut keskintürk @tkeskinturk.bsky.social · Mar 27

a new article forthcoming in Sociological Science! we use an original survey of 2,117 Americans to examine how often people report discussing social and political issues tapped by 88 questions in the GSS. the preprint is up at SocArXiv: osf.io/vqp2g_v1
