Do disruptive protests help or hurt? In a new review, @claravandeweerdt.bsky.social finds they're great at getting attention from media and the public for their issue. They have no or small positive effects on public opinion about the cause, and on people's intentions to act. doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

SODAS researchers and co. investigated the correlation between "dark" personality traits and job choice. They found that people with dark traits tend not to choose social jobs (like nurse, −.50 ≤ r ≤ −.21) but also artistic jobs (−.31 ≤ r ≤ −.12). Read more: econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/full/10....

Reducibility of higher-order networks from dynamics - Nature Communications The topology of interactions is shaping dynamics of complex systems. Here, the authors develop a quantitative method to determine how much higher-order structure can be reduced without affecting dynam...

With his co-authors, SODAS post-doc Luca Gallo developed a new method to determine when a system truly needs a higher-order framework and when a simpler, pairwise approach is still the most effective tool. Read the Nature Communications paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (2/2)

While researchers have usually modeled complex systems as networks of one-on-one interactions, recent advances in higher-order networks allow them to also describe groups of three or more units. However, this added complexity isn't always necessary. (1/2)

SODAS Lecture on February 20! 📅

SODAS is delighted to host Matthew Salganik! In a fascinating lecture on evolving life trajectories, Matthew will discuss how rich registry data and new AI methods can bridge computational social science and biomedical research 🧪

Inferring employee concerns from open text survey responses Text analysis is increasingly used across social science fields. We apply both supervised and unsupervised methods to open-text responses from a large employee survey, an underused but widely avail...

Helene Willadsen & Annika Johanne Bonk reveal that the open-ended responses to employee surveys are an informational treasure trove. These responses are a window into more "practical" workplace issues, and that topic models can help pick out their themes: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Han så de første job ryge til AI: Nu har forskeren et bud på, hvem de næste bliver Ole Teutloff forsker i kunstig intelligens' effekt på arbejdsmarkedet. Selv er han allerede blevet udkonkurreret, mener han.

Danish paper Jyllands-Posten covered SODAS PhD Ole Tuetloff's research on which jobs will be replaced by 🤖: jyllands-posten.dk/erhverv/ECE1... But actually, Ole says, "you will not be replaced by AI, but by a human who is better at using AI than you," increasing existing labor market inequalities.

Does it work to punish the group for its members' misbehavior?In a new paper, SODAS researchers and co. show that collective punishment decreases cheating among study participants, even those scoring high on dishonesty. Read more here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
