„AfD legt zu, Grüne verlieren"

Heißt es in den Medien. Die Journalisten fragen Grüne, ob sie jetzt auch mehr Abschiebungen fordern werden.

Aber auch richtig ist:

„AfD verliert im Vergleich zur BTW, Grüne zweitbestes Ergebnis in NRW“

Framing in den Medien macht den Rechtsruck.

In the first keynote of ##MePsy25 Jessica Piotrowski talked a central question of #MediaPsych - social media use between controll and competence - bringing nuanced and much needed evidence to a highly debated topic (and often panic driven regulation)
The female speaker standing in front of the slides, with catchy (and not necessarily evidence based) claims from haidts book on the anxious generation

Skimming social media posts can help you build ambient awareness about who-knows-what in your network. This can even happen under cognitive load: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @everydaymedialab.bsky.social (so between all my complaints about trains, there might be something useful ;-))
Examining the Automaticity of Ambient Awareness via Its Persistence Under Cognitive Load
Knowing where expertise is in one’s network is essential for knowledge transfer and collaboration. Browsing social media can foster ambient awareness of who-knows-what. Although ambient awareness i...

Toll Bahn. Man muss immer noch in Reutlingen umsteigen, 20 Minuten sollten ja an sich reichen, aber wir sind noch später und statt dass der dann 5 Minuten wartet, kriegen wir alle jetzt nochmal 26 Minuten drauf #sweg weiß schon, warum ich zuletzt geradelt bin

Excited to announce that my paper with @lpummerer.bsky.social, @sonja-utz.de & @kaisassenberg.bsky.social on conspiracy beliefs is published. We examined the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and procedural justice during the peak and decay of the pandemic.

What are social media? Seems obvious, right? #TikTok? Definitely. #LinkedIn? Sure. #Facebook? Yes. #YouTube? Well… maybe less clear?

Ich habe die in diesem “Politico”-Auszug beschriebene AfD-Strategie übrigens 2017 schon mal aufgeschrieben. Hergeleitet aus der Literatur über die Polarisierung in den USA. Das ist alles weder neu noch überraschend. Nur für die Union offenbar. Es geht um WIR gegen DIE.
"Our goal is to create a situation in which the political divide no longer runs between the AfD and the other political currents, but rather one in which a bourgeois-conservative camp and a radicalizing left-wing camp face each other, comparable to the situation in the U.S.," reads an internal party paper, seen by POLITICO. The aim, according to the strategy, is to create a "duel between two irreconcilably opposed camps."

Ich würde eigentlich erwarten, dass die Führungsspitzen von Viessmann, Vaillant und Buderus langsam mal laut und deutlich sagen, dass hier gerade die akute Gefahr besteht, dass die Fossilnostalgiker in diesem Land die nächste deutsche Branche an den Rand des Abgrunds geleiten.

Important because many studies on #algorithmicfairness only use one general fairness item or adapt measures from procedural fairness without considering issues like #groupdiscrimination. Our multidimensional measure addresses this problem; you can also use just one subscale depending on your RQ
