New at @PNASNews with @dbroockman, @chriscaballero_ & @easton_matty: "Political practitioners poorly predict which messages persuade the public." As we head into the last week of the campaign, a good reminder that political practitioners have poor intuitions as to what persuades

Interventions that enable individuals to circumvent obstacles, offer social support, provide incentives, and highlight healthy social norms are very effective at changing behavior.

NEW PAPER w/ @eriksantoro @j_kalla @ronchuli
There's a widespread idea that we will persuade other people more effectively if we listen to them first
The NYT has said it, social psych says it, & my previous research has assumed it
In a new study, we find it's likely wrong 🧵..

NEW w @j_kalla at @mattyglesias' "Slow Boring":
What's better than calling Trump weird? Convincing voters Harris is normal
In survey testing 76 messages w >100k people, we find:
- anti-Trump messages doesn't work
- pro-Harris messages do, especially "typical" Dem messages 🧵

Overall, it seems predictions made by repeated exposure theories may not hold so well when using different (but non-identical) messages about a single topic. We also reflect on implications for message fatigue & reactance theorizing.
Here's hoping for more repetition research!

Q: How do people respond to positive messages depicting a future where climate change is meaningfully addressed?🌎🌱🙂
