NEW in @ScienceAdvances, after 3 years of work with a great team: We review and meta-analyze 100 immigrant conjoint experiments in 36 countries. Immigration preferences are surprisingly similar across people and countries, but changing over time and structured by politics. 🧵

Black men have the worst response rate from elected officials, I wonder why they might be disengaged from voting…

Listening to @UpFirst podcast increases trust in podcast news + NPR but that doesn’t spill over into trust in news more generally. Glad this paper w/ @junghwanyang @simonsaysnothin @p_barbera is out!
Randomizing uptake of NPR's @UpFirst podcast for 5 days increases news consumption & knowledge of events (esp. among more right-leaning voters), trust in NPR, etc but not trust in the news more generally; no effect on attitudes or political beliefs. An @andyguess et al. joint

Randomizing college students to use (or not use) TikTok "increased negative emotional affect but had seemingly no effect on political attitudes." AKA, short-form influencer content makes you mad but doesn't change your politics (a similar result we see from FB studies)

🚨 New publication alert: Do Americans change their attitudes toward "culture war" groups when these groups shift how they vote in presidential elections? In a word, 𝐧𝐨. 👎 An important case of null results, we find no clear shift in attitudes, either for better or for worse.
