New paper with Rebecca Johnson (@rebeccaj.bsky.social) on parental perceptions of using algorithms to allocate scarce resources in schools, now out in Sociological Science (@sociologicalsci.bsky.social):

small attitudinal effects might still be meaningful—especially with repeated visits or similar exposures. But emotional responses are already large on first exposure. If attitudes were to shift significantly, it’d likely happen more gradually. would love to test that with a repeated design!

thanks! you’re absolutely right. some of the attitudinal results are consistent w/ small effects, but considerably smaller than the emotional results. for the museum, that may be a reasonable outcome: balanced curation may avoid polarization, even if it limits larger attitudinal change.

Double good news today -- this article (co-authored with Elsa Voytas) will be out (open access, thanks to Georgetown) very soon!

Y’all know how we do in that Kelly Green
