New w/@scottclifford.bsky.social. Lots of work uses agree-disagree scales, and a lit review shows these are 1) frequently just measured in one direction (agree = higher trait) and 2) correlated with each other. This has potentially big issues for conclusions. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Really important new evidence that American attitudes are much more inclusive than conventional debates suggest, though this support is conditional on policy design. People are more supportive of integration when it includes social support and clear eligibility criteria, which they view as fair.

If you’re interested in American immigration attitudes and unique ways of assessing different dimensions of fairness, come see me this Thursday at 8:00 am at #APSA2025. The evidence comes from a large original survey and conjoint experiment I fielded this year (n=3,000+).

Kirill Zhirkov & Robert H. Brehm find that calling immigrants “illegal” or “undocumented” doesn’t affect perceptions in experiments. However, people’s preferences for these terms do reflect their broader attitudes toward immigration policy. Read more here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
