New publication alert! 🚨Our new PMR study tests how time strategies in crisis response—timing (pre vs post), sequence (defensive vs accommodative), tempo (fast vs slow)—shape public perceptions of local government reputation. Evidence from a 2×3×2 factorial experiment (n=1520).
Our paper is positioned as an early effort to bring reputation management into the analytical center of crisis management, showing how crisis response can be understood not only as governance under pressure, but also as reputation work conducted through time-sensitive choices. @pmreview.bsky.social
