Are you studying affective polarization in multiparty systems but don't have space for 8, 9, or 15 party-ratings? Jakob Kasper lead our paper validating brief affective polarization measures: measures are valid when you have ratings of 4-5 large and ideologically divers parties

Do you struggle how to measure affective polarization when you have more than 2 parties? Jakob Kasper, Gijs Schumacher & I show in our new working paper that brief measures of affective polarization can have acceptable construct and predictive validity. All details ⬇️
