In the last session JASSS give a look to our #review on #socialidentity & #ABM: what application, challenges & mutual exchanges? 🤔 "if you didn’t formalise, you didn’t theorise" 🖊️ jasss.org/26/2/6.html for more activities: siam-network.online DFG public | @[email protected]

So much hype. So little evidence.

New paper on gender differences in voting in🇩🇪, using info from *real ballots*, 1953–2021. Key finding: Since 2017, women vote more left-wing than men. Before, they voted similarly or more conservatively. -> This contrasts previous survey-based findings. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Better report not only log-numbers! The study in Scientific Reports by Rodriguez Sanchez, Julian Wucherpfennig, stefano maria iacus & Rischke compares after descriptions (nature.com/articles/s4159…) logs of migration rates (attempted ocean crossings). De-logging reveals implausible & uncertain predictions?

This! For most contributions, we need more well-powered evidence & better measurement for existing theories, not more new theories. Due to the pressure for theoretical innovation, a lot of social science is basically just about inventing new words or doing conceptual stretching.

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD project, which has been published in @BJS   I show that contrary to common expectation, globalization does not lead to political polarization between winners and losers of globalization.

Why do voters favor radical right-wing populists like Geert Wilders? Our new study suggests it's simply because voters agree with populists' substantive policy positions on immigration & other issues, not because they find their populist rhetoric appealing doi.org/10.1017/psrm.2…

🇪🇺 NEW ARTICLE:🇪🇺 Stephan Dochow-Sondershaus and @CelineTeney investigate social class polarization in Germany using European Social Survey International Social Survey Programme ISSP German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) OPEN ACCESS: doi.org/10.1080/146166…

In a new publication, @CelineTeney, Tobias Wolfram, and I assess item characteristics most likely to lead to distributive opinion polarization. Check it out: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

übrigens, falls jemand nach einem beispiel sucht: so funktionieren diese sogenannten "polarisierten debatten". Nicht, indem alle nur noch krasses zeug denken und sagen, sondern indem alles, wsa gesagt wird, eingeordnet wird, als wäre es krasses zeug.

Excited to share my latest paper in Sociological Science! I find no long-term effects of ethnic diversity on contacts with neighbors—showing how precise estimands can enhance neighborhood effects research. #Sociology #NeighborhoodEffects #SocialCohesion #AcademicTwitter

New study on networks, status, and gender in Social Forces with Xinwei Xu. Girls receive fewer status ascriptions than boys, status is mostly granted within genders, and similar behaviors-e.g., drinking-are status-relevant for both genders among students: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-art…

I don't know why so many Americans have this idea that Germans all feel guilty about WWII. I don't know anyone my generation or even my parents' generation who feels this way. I think this is a story that Americans are telling themselves. What is true is that at least the
