Will Americans vote for an atheist? Across 4 survey experiments, authors find Democrats favorable, Republicans unfavorable. Importantly, for highly-religious Republicans, even describing the atheist as a patriotic war hero doesn't seem to matter (atheist = 👎). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Will Americans Vote for an Atheist?

Conventional wisdom holds and previous research confirms that for a political candidate, atheism is anathema. But the United States is becoming a more secular nation. Does secularization mean that at...

Relatedly: I always shock my students a bit when I tell them that quantitative data is just qualitative data that has already been interpreted numerically.

Absolutely. So many people are disinterested in politics, don’t think about govt, and don’t know how it works—unless there’s a major disruption that affects them directly. We can and should be making a concerted effort to reach them, and I ways that highlight civic duties rather than partisanship.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*. And we absolutely can reach them.

Scientists find that sexual afterglow can linger for at least 24 hours, and it’s especially powerful when sex is a mutual decision or is initiated by your partner. By contrast, sexual rejection can create a negative ripple effect lasting up to 3 days. www.psypost.org/science-conf...

Science confirms the "sexual afterglow" is real — and pinpoints factors that make it linger longer

Good news for couples: the positive effects of sex aren't just in the moment. According to a new study, the feeling of satisfaction after sex sticks around for at least a day, and this "sexual aftergl...

Higher ed is pretty bad at valuing people's time. This is one manifestation of that. One thing I wish more administrators would do is use tools like this to calculate the costs of the requests they're making, instead of operating as if time in infinite and free. hbr.org/2016/01/esti...
