For every p<.05 you do 10 push-ups? Or should it be for every p>.05?

More in the paper, but happy to hear your views here too [6/?]. PS: many thanks to @isabellareb.bsky.social for coming up with the idea of this brilliant study #proudsupervisor [6/6]

This finding is important because much work on emotions in political science is about the different consequences of discrete emotions such as anger and anxiety. But what does this mean if feelings do not link to different evaluations of the situation? [5/6]

We find that in the political task appraisals no longer predict discrete emotions. We can predict positive and negative emotions, but not whether people experienced anger, anxiety, disgust or sadness. We did replicate the results of the original task [4/6]

Using this task earlier work shows that these appraisals predict the correct emotional labels people had provided (~70%). This work asked people about general emotional events. We asked half of our sample to describe their emotions about politics, and the other half received the original task. [3/6]

We asked people to (1) describe an emotional event they experienced and (2) to evaluate this events answering questions about for example the certainty, moral dimension, and controllability of the situation. These so-called appraisals should theoretically link with specific discrete emotions [2/6]

Bij Kaag/D66 werkte het juist wel toch, bij de verkiezing althans. Omtzigt/NSC vind ik wat ingewikkelder, omdat hij zo weifelend over kwam in de campagne

zie je kwaliteit van bestuur / competentie als een thema of als iets anders? Denk dat daar veel kansen liggen, nieuw leiderschap, beter bestuur, Nederland uit de stront trekken etc. Daar kan je namelijk inmiddels alles aan koppelen

I have added eye-tracking to a conjoint experiment with two candidates. Still working through the noise in that data, but it seems to have some meaningful results. But this also touches the question of what attention is: just visual inspection or a combination with cognitive effort? Or s'thing else

There has been speculation regarding loneliness’s impact on support for radicalization and populism – see: www.ft.com/content/ffad... & www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... (2/9)

These effects are obtained controlling for educational differences. I am not sure about the effect of education on perspective-taking though.

Emotional or social intelligence probably yes, but maybe that's even the same construct. Intelligence as in specific knowledge of politics is sometimes related to more not less polarized attitudes.

Het is bijzonder om vergelijkbare resultaten te vinden in 2 landen die zo sterk verschillen qua politiek. De resultaten laten zien dat interventies zich specifiek op 1 component van empathie moeten richten om polarisatie te verminderen. [4/4]

Deze studie is gedaan in Nederland en is een replicatie van een Amerikaanse studie uitgevoerd door Elizabeth Simas, @scottclifford.bsky.social en @justinkirkland.bsky.social. Onze resultaten over 'perspectief-nemen' zijn iets sterker dan die van hen. [3/4]

We vinden dat "empathische bezorgdheid" positief samenhangt met positieve gevoelens over jouw partij (inparty), terwijl "perspectief-nemen" positief samenhangt met positievere gevoelens over de "outparty'. Beide concepten zijn onderdeel van het bredere begrip empathie. [2/4]

PS: this paper is a collaboration between Matthijs, Matthijs and Gijs ... for the non-Dutch the "ij" is pronounced as "ei", not as "isjh" or anything even more creative. [5/5]
