🚨 Strengthening Americans’ Democratic Attitudes🚨 For the last 4 years, we crowdsourced and tested ideas for ⬇️ antidemocratic attitudes & partisan animosity. A 🧵 on all papers, published/IP Science Magazine (🆕tinyurl.com/sdcsci🆕), PNASNews (2x), Nature Human Behaviour (2x).

Out now and open access! How do we explain what Russians think about their government's invasion of Ukraine? (with Robin Wollast, Illia Yahiiaiev, Karine Malyshea, Olivier Klein (@olivierklein.bsky.social), and Nikhil Sengupta). 🧵 (1/x) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

New paper out, led by @KevinWinter91, with Kai Sassenberg on believing misinformation about wind farms. Biggest predictors is not education and science knowledge, but conspiracy mentality. Over 25% of respondents from US, UK and AUS agree with more than half of the statements.
