Jovens longe dos partidos? “Jotas” mostram evoluções distintas, mas mantêm influência O número de inscritos subiu na JSD, Livre e JCP. A JS regista uma recuperação do número de militantes, mas ainda abaixo dos níveis de 2015. JP e BE com quebra.

‼️ New paper out in Political Behavior, in which we examine the accuracy of citizens' perceptions of parties' left-right positions outside of election time. Check out Semih's 🧵 below!

We started working on this paper back in *2020*, so we're absolutely thrilled to finally share it!

The Incel Global Order modern autocracy as a cult of masculinity

This piece makes good points but also common mistakes:

1. Gender gap among youth is because left-wing turn of women, not right-wing turn of men.

2. Young men are not the core of far-right support.

3. ’Modern sexism’ is less about Rogan-Tate toxic masculinity than about perceived discrimination.

What a great paper. Congratulations!

Congrats, Kira!

This is a very nice paper.

Recommended reading for anyone working on group identities and party competition!

🇩🇰Election results: The parties in Mette Frederiksen’s centrist coalition government lost seats in the Danish elections - yet, Denmark could still end up with a centrist coalition as no clear governing coalition emerges on the left or the right

Coalition talks will now commence

I've been asked over the last few days/weeks what I think will happen on April 12th in Orbán's 🇭🇺 (and the aftermath), so here's my assessment, looking at everything as it stands now 🧵

tldr: It's complicated, and no one really knows (and those who say they do are either lying or overly confident) 1/

Coming soon in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social: our study on gender differences in political efficacy and ambition among youth wing members, drawing on original survey data from 12 parties across Australia, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden.

Why do social norms work differently when we interact with AI?

In a new paper (N = 1,108), we found that people are less sensitive to prosocial norms when interacting with AI because they are less accurate at predicting AI behavior.

Very honored to receive the @ecpr-sep.bsky.social Best Paper Prize. I’m grateful to the jury for reading my work, and to Marco Lisi for suggesting this paper for nomination.

People significantly overestimate the social costs of changing their beliefs.

Partisans self censor and suppress dissent to avoid appearing disloyal and facing social punishment.

Reminding them of prior group loyalty can open them to changing their beliefs pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41627338/

No @jornalexpresso.bsky.social desta semana há um ensaio meu, da @mafaldapratas.bsky.social, do @joaoc.bsky.social e do @hferrinholopes.bsky.social sobre os efeitos do comboio de tempestades nas residenciais. Tentamos perceber qual foi o impacto no nível de participação e no sentido de voto. (1)

Why does mainstream accommodation of far-right and Eurosceptic parties often electorally backfire? In my 3rd dissertation paper, just published in @wepsocial.bsky.social, I argue that voters specifically punish internally divided parties for accommodation: doi.org/10.1080/0140...

This is crazy. It would have taken years! of work:

Cerca de 25% dos militantes do Chega vieram de outros partidos. Maioria era PSD e CDS Um novo estudo sobre o Chega traça um retrato inédito da sua base e mostra que muitos militantes já traziam convicções à espera de representação política.
