⭐ New paper in @natclimate.nature.com: Social influence shapes climate attitudes and action ⭐ Excited to share this from @samhampton.bsky.social, me & @lwhitmarsh.bsky.social, bringing together evidence on how influence operates in the context of climate action. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

Social influence shapes climate attitudes and action - Nature Climate Change

Individuals and groups shape others’ attitudes and actions through social influence. This Perspective articulates a research agenda of social influence for climate action, synthesizes existing evidenc...

With Ryan O'Loughin from CUNY, we have a paper out today in the European Journal for Philosophy of Science where we ask: "When are small-scale field experiments in solar geoengineering worth pursuing?" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

When are small-scale field experiments in solar geoengineering worth pursuing? - European Journal for Philosophy of Science

We propose a set of heuristics—scientific rigor, safety, usefulness, engagement, and transparency—for assessing the pursuitworthiness of small-scale field experiments in solar geoengineering research....

This is just one guy's experience, but I have now seen several dozen posts angrily defending air conditioning and zero (0) posts from people who are against it. Where are all these anti-AC folks we're supposed to be mad at? Seriously asking.

What Happens When You Can’t Check the Box? Categorization Threat and Public Opinion among Middle Eastern and North African Americans

What Happens When You Can’t Check the Box? Categorization Threat and Public Opinion among Middle Eastern and North African Americans By Amanda Sahar d’Urso, Georgetown University Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Americans are politically visible yet institutionally invisible, long categorized as “white” by the U.S. government despite neither self-categorizing nor racially assigned as such. Most forms—across public and private sectors—still lack a “MENA” category option.

Thrilled to announce my paper with @dianamejordan.bsky.social & sky-less Trent Ollerenshaw is now published open-access at @apsrjournal.bsky.social. In a (very) large replication & extension, we show that design effects of repeated measure experiments are nonzero but typically small. Thread:

Abstract for "New Evidence and Design Considerations for Repeated Measure Experiments in Survey Research" by Diana Jordan, Trent Ollerenshaw, and Andrew Trexler, published in the American Political Science Review. The abstract text reads: "We re-examine recent influential claims that repeated measure experimental designs offer large precision gains without biasing treatment effect estimates in survey research. We test these claims by experimentally varying the design of six classic political science experiments across three distinct large samples of U.S. adults (total N = 13,163). In contrast to prior evidence, we observe consistent attenuation of treatment effects in repeated measure designs. However, we show in simulations that this average design effect is small enough, and the precision gains large enough, that we recommend repeated measure designs for broad application—though (large-N) post-only designs may be preferable when research priorities include estimating the precise magnitude of a treatment effect. We additionally explore how several design considerations affect the bias-precision trade-off, such as within-subject versus between-groups designs, the relative separation of repeated measures within single surveys, and differences in respondent characteristics across sample types."

For folks headed to MPSA next week, the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences is hosting an open conference within a conference! Friday afternoon in Monroe, free food & drinks, & the events are a typical research panel (1:15) & a roundtable (3:20) on doing research during -these times-.

Do you need to measure precise preferences for visual outcomes with very little survey space? Markus Prior, Justin Curl, and I have some solutions for you! Now officially published in @polanalysis.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/pan....

ICYMI my solo article on MENA identity. When MENA Americans aren’t given a “MENA” option on forms, they answer identity-related questions on politics more strongly (eg higher end of the scale) than if“MENA” had been added. Having the group label or not changes the average response!
