I attended this webinar organized by the Korea Society and learned a lot. www.youtube.com/live/dg1vO3Q...

With @yusakuhoriuchi.bsky.social, @shirokuriwaki.bsky.social & Shusei Eshima, I've conducted survey experiments w/ voters in recent Japanese election campaigns. Compared to 2021, 2024 shows a big drop in reported trust of the LDP. The LDP appears to have lost its valence advantage. #JapanDecides2024

If anyone is preparing a survey related to the upcoming election in Japan on Oct 27 and has set up questions in Qualtrics to identify the single-member district based on each respondent's place of residence, it would be extremely helpful if you could share the QDF file!

It's been a challenging year with 11 rejections, 0 revisions and resubmissions, and no acceptances in 7 months.

An article that Katie Clayton, Charles Crabtree, and I wrote almost four years ago for The Monkey Cage: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

My paper with Katie Clayton and Charles Crabtree has become highly relevant to American politics today. It is titled "Do Identity Frames Impact Support for Multiracial Candidates? The Case of Kamala Harris" (@jepsjournal.bsky.social). Feel free to share the link: doi.org/10.1017/XPS.....

Finally, massive arrests at Dartmouth (www.wmur.com/article/dart...). It's so ironic that this happened after many news media have commended Dartmouth's "novel approach" to ease tensions (e.g., nbcnews.com/news/us-news...).

A new working paper with Rikio Inouye (@rinouye.bsky.social, Princeton) and Daniel Corstange (Columbia) on the current conflict in Gaza! --- "Unraveling American Sympathies toward Israelis and Palestinians." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers...., #polisky

Bookmarking - "Did Violence Against Asian-Americans Rise in 2020? Evidence from a Novel Approach to Measuring Potentially Racially-Motivated Attacks" (www.nber.org/papers/w32121)

The new paper with Tae Jun Seo (my former student at Dartmouth) has been published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, with page numbers (doi.org/10.1177/0022...). The complete replication package is available at doi.org/10.7910/DVN/....

An interesting new paper about Japanese politics: doi.org/10.1111/lsq....

(polisky) It has become increasingly difficult to ask "political" survey questions in Japan, particularly in Okinawa. Yes, Japan, not China or other authoritarian regimes. Incredible!!

I achieved my New Year’s resolution of running 1000 miles!

[polsky] The APSR managing editor used to urge us to add "a full table of the results upon which each figure is based" in the Appendix. But I cannot find such an instruction in their guidelines anymore. Did they change the guidelines?

I began reviewing a manuscript and immediately noticed an obvious typo in the title. Hmm....

I am giving a seminar at Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan) on December 14. It is about American citizens' attitudes toward Israelis and Palestinians. Methodologically, it is about some new developments and discussions about conjoint analysis. Open to the public! www.waseda.jp/inst/sgu/new...

polisky -- A question to survey researchers. I understand that we often choose the "Force Response" option in Qualtrics. Do you know existing studies that help us understand its rationale?

My mistake. I said "Yes" to review requests carelessly. I now have to review 7 manuscripts in one month. And just a minute ago, I received another review request... (polysky)

goodauthority.org/news/biden-w... --> This article about Biden's trip to Israel cites our paper (with @kmatush.bsky.social and Ben Goldsmith): doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Those who want to design a fully randomized conjoint experiment must use a php script or a JavaScript. But they may not know these languages. Ask Chat GPT4. It makes a perfect script for you! The following is a test script removing "ties" (see gking.harvard.edu/conjointE). polisky

Brad (Gomez) and I went to see the football game today, but it did not rain! (Scholars of political behavior should understand what I mean.) Thank you, Brad, for arranging my visit to FSU! I truly enjoyed it!

I gave a talk based on my new paper (tinyurl.com/24btw3dq) at Florida State University's political science department. Thank you, so many people, for attending my talk. I truly enjoyed all the conversations and meetings I had today at FSU. 😄

One of the reviewers referred to our argument as "insane." Is this a word a professional reviewer in a top political science journal would typically use? 🤔 polisky
