To rebuild our democracy, we must commit to the long-term process of supporting policy focused candidates, resisting the hatred that flourishes on social media, and restoring the integrity of our federal government. There is no easy fix.
🚨New Pub Alert!🚨 Self-disclosure is a key ingredient for bridging divides between opponents. Importantly, self-disclosure is not only useful when sharing experiences but also can be leveraged to heal divisions when communicating facts. More below 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…
🚨New Pub in @PolBehavior🚨 How do traumatic events impact trust in govt? Developing & validating new short form measures of posttraumatic stress & growth across 5 surveys, I test relationships b/w PTS, PTG, & trust in federal, state, and local govt doi.org/10.1007/s11109…
Did you know that your neighbors influence your political party? New in The Journal of Politics: Panel data on 41M voters show that people are more likely to switch political parties to match their neighbors.
apparently, the ANES conducted a short survey in 2024 of cohabiting spouses or partners of its sample, allowing us to observe the ideologies of both the focal individuals and their spouses/partners. naturally, that provides a wonderful excuse for procrastination:
The fascinating concept of "identity fusion" has now formally entered criminological theory! Check out @martha_newson's latest paper with Harvey Whitehouse and Jack Cunliffe here (open access!): link.springer.com/article/10.100…
AI shows ingroup bias towards AI content! If we deploy LLMs in decision-making roles (e.g., purchasing goods, selecting academic submissions) they will favor LLM agents over ordinary humans pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
What happens before and after tenure? Check out our latest paper in PNAS @PNASNews: Tenure and Research Trajectories Led by Giorgio Tripodi, postdoc in my lab. Fun collaboration with Xiangzheng, @qian_yifan, Dakota Murray, @bfjo & @ChaoqunNi 1/n
🚨New paper in @TrendsCognSci 🚨 Why do some ideas spread widely, while others fail to catch on? @jayvanbavel and I review the “psychology of virality,” or the psychological and structural factors that shape information spread online and offline. Thread 🧵(1/n)
Is there a strong case for AI helping, rather than harming, the accuracy of people's beliefs about contentious topics? In this @NatureMedicine piece (focusing on vaccination), I argue the answer is YES. And it boils down to how LLMs differ from other sources of information.
Conspiracies emerge in the wake of high-profile events, but you can’t contemporaneously debunk them with evidence ... because little yet exists. Nonetheless, we show that LLMs can debunk conspiracies during an ongoing event (attempted assassination of Trump) in a new WP!
🔴AI and the Architecture of Anti-Intelligence The other day, I found myself at the center of an unexpected controversy. I suggested that large language models may not represent artificial intelligence at all, but something more disorienting, what I called anti-intelligence.…
In my head I’ve started referring to political quadrants in terms of properties of their preferred coordination networks. Top two are centralized. Bottom two are distributed. Left two are symmetric (aka egalitarian). Right two are asymmetric.
This is a stellar paper -- highly recommend if you want an incisive birds-eye view of AI + political science annualreviews.org/content/journa…
Reward models (RMs) are the moral compass of LLMs – but no one has x-rayed them at scale. We just ran the first exhaustive analysis of 10 leading RMs, and the results were...eye-opening. Wild disagreement, base-model imprint, identity-term bias, mere-exposure quirks & more: 🧵
Great new paper! journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
You are going to be hearing a lot about this study. It is massive and consequential to our understanding of human flourishing. I am a tiny part of it. Kudos to Byron Johnson and Tyler VanderWeele, who have spearheaded this important work. christianitytoday.com/2025/05/global…
🚨 Our latest paper is out today in Science! We uncover stark and systematic partisan differences in the amount, content, and character of science used in policy, which mirror differences in political elites’ trust in science. Four years in the making. Led by @zfurnas 1/n
Wow! This project looks amazing. In it, three scientists at Columbia, Michigan, and Maryland introduce VRscores: a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the United States. The dataset is constructed by linking U.S. voter registrations to online worker profiles.…
#ICLR2025 Thrilled to share that our @iclr_conf paper has been accepted for an oral presentation! We show that LLMs represent political ideologies on a linear axis—and that we can detect and even steer their ideological perspectives. In our paper: - We find a linear "map" of…
