European Social Survey@ess-survey.bsky.social · 3d ago

Analysis of our #data was conducted for research on #inequality and wellbeing published by the Journal of Happiness Studies (@springernature.com). Sandra Bohmann and Fabian Kalleitner (@lmu.de 🇩🇪 ) investigated whether perceived unfair inequality has a negative effect on #wellbeing.

Subjective Inequity Aversion: How Perceived Unfair Inequality Affects Subjective Well-being - Journal of Happiness Studies

Combining theoretical insights from social justice literature and social comparison research, this paper argues that subjective perceptions of inequity (i.e., unfairness), rather than objective deviations from equality, are key to understanding the relationship between (in)equality and subjective well-being.

I recommend for anybody who wants to see the results of ai garbage in science to just take a quick look at some of the recently published papers in this "journal".

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.

Many of you have asked me for a full-blown desktop version of SciLove. Here it is! 👇 My favorite part is the redesigned feed: now features a progress bar plus an article queue so you always know what’s next.

SocArXiv bans people, too. “We are aware that any paper we accept will be scraped up and fed to the next generation of LLMs, and we don’t want to contribute to a death spiral of nonsense and hallucination,” says Philip Cohen, director of SocArXiv.

#arXiv is banning researchers for one year whose manuscripts contain hallucinated references. My latest for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @briannosek.bsky.social, @tdietterich.bsky.social, @richardsever.bsky.social, @dermotlynott.bsky.social, @philipncohen.com, #WCRI2026

👇🏻💡 "People do not give up democracy in a calculating way to gain politically. Instead, they find ways to convince themselves that they are getting their desired policy and democracy. They still act as undemocratically as concluded in the literature; they just do not perceive it that way."

Rationalizing Democracy: The Perceptual Bias and (Un)Democratic Behavior by SUTHAN KRISHNARAJAN Abstract Democracy often confronts citizens with a dilemma: stand firm on democracy while losing out on policy or accept undemocratic behavior and gain politically. Existing literature demonstrates that citizens generally choose the latter—and that they do so deliberately. Yet there is an alternative possibility. Citizens can avoid this uncomfortable dilemma altogether by rationalizing their understandings of democracy. When a politician advances undesired policies without violating democratic rules and norms, people find ways to perceive the behavior as undemocratic. When a politician acts undemocratically to promote desired policies, citizens muster up arguments for considering it democratic. Original survey experiments in the United States, and 22 democracies worldwide, provide strong support for this argument. It is thus not deliberate acceptance, but a fundamentally different perceptual logic that drives the widespread approval of undemocratic behavior in today’s democracies.

😀 Happy to share our new working paper with Andreas Stoller on cigarette prices, taxes, and smoking: doi.org/10.48550/arX... Using a flexible diff-in-diff approach with double machine learning and Eurobarometer data, we find that tax increases reduce smoking, particularly among the young.

Effect of Cigarette Price and Tax Increases on Smoking in Europe: A Difference-in-Differences Study with Double Machine Learning

We estimate the effect of cigarette price and tax increases on smoking rates using Eurobarometer survey data from 27 European Union countries between 2012 and 2020. Following a difference-in-differenc...

🔍 How does economic inequality impact beliefs in meritocracy? Using comprehensive survey data from 39 advanced capitalist democracies over more than three decades, Markus Gangl & I examine how rising economic inequality has been shaping citizens' belief in meritocracy. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/ser/mwag016
