Hot Politics Lab 07/10
by Maaike Homan 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Hi everyone, This Friday (07/10) from 15:00 - 16:00 there will be another Hot Politics Lab meeting. In this session of the Hot Politics Lab, Dominique Wirz (Université de Fribourg) will give a talk titled "A hostile media effect? Subjective and objective exposure to hate speech in Switzerland". See below the abstract of the talk. The talk will be followed by a Q&A, and everybody is welcome to join via Zoom: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/96492065253<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuva-live.…> or join the live session in the Common Room (REC-B9.22) at 3pm (CET). Abstract: Representative surveys in the EU show that around 40% of the population is often or very often confronted with hate speech on the internet. Despite the efforts of social media platforms and media companies to tackle this issue, the numbers have risen during the last years. However, there might be a gap between the definition of hate speech by the law or by academics - and thus what is deleted automatically or by human intervention - and what media users perceive as hate speech. We assume that the perception of messages as hate speech is biased as a function of the hostile media effect: Individuals who strongly identify with a societal group are more likely to perceive a comment as hostile towards their group. This perceived hostility elicits anger and thus a desire for punishment. We test these assumptions in a multi-methods study. First, we will conduct a representative survey of the Swiss population; participants will see examples of uncivil comments and rate how much they consider them to be hate speech and if they should be punished. Second, we will recruit a subgroup of participants who report to be exposed to hate speech at least several times a week for a mobile longitudinal linkage analysis study: Participants will make a screenshot of all comments they perceive as hate speech and upload them on a platform. We will then conduct a content analysis of these comments.

Hot Politics Lab Fall Program
by Maaike Homan 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

Hi everyone, Hope you had a great summer! The Hot Politics Lab is back this fall with a series of great talks! See the program for this semester below. The next talk will be Friday the 16th of September from 15:00-16:00. In this meeting, Han van der Maas (Department of Psychology, UvA) will present "Cascading transitions in psycho-social systems". Below the abstract. The talk will be followed by a Q&A. Everybody is welcome to join via Zoom: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/96492065253<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuva-live.…> or join the live session in the Common Room (REC-B9.22) at 3pm (CET). Abstract: We all worry about the spread of conspiracy theories, the impact of addiction on people and society, and are amazed by the power of collective learning. My hypothesis is that these apparently very different processes share the same type of dynamics, in which sudden transitions within individuals are part of societal transitions. I will present my intended ERC research on these cascading transitions and will focus primarily on the issue of polarization. Hot Politics Fall Program: 16-9 Han van der Maas "Cascading transitions in psycho-social systems" 30-9 Graduate Friday 14-10 Dominique Wirz: "A hostile media effect? Subjective and objective exposure to hate speech in Switzerland." 4-11 Falvio Azevedo: "Measuring Ideology: Current practices, its consequences, and recommendations." 11-11 Jochem Tolsma: "Political Polarisation and Residential Segregation" 18-11 Frank Gonzalez: ""Inhibition or Ideology? The Neural Mechanisms of Racial Priming in Politics." 25-11 Graduate Friday: Maaike Homan + Christian Pipal 2-12 Christin Scholz: "to be announced" Hope to see you all the 16th!

Invitation Hot Politics & Centre for the Politics of Feelings Drinks at ISPP
by Maaike Homan 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

Dear colleagues and friends of the Hot Politics Lab & Center of the Politics of Feelings, ISPP is getting close and it looks as it's time to prepare for a "warm" welcoming in the city of Athens. As hot as it will get, our feeling is that a cold refreshing break from the conference context would be warranted! The Hot Politics Lab (University of Amsterdam, www.hotpolitics.eu<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hotpol…>) and the Center for the Politics of Feelings (Royal Holloway University of London, https://www.politics-of-feelings.com/<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polit…>) kindly wish to invite you to a social event on Friday July 15 starting at 20.00 , where we can mingle and share research ideas, thoughts, and perhaps future plans over drinks, in one of Athens' coolest, speak-easy cocktail bars, Bel Ray<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbelraybar.…>. The bar is located within a 12-min walk from the conference hotel (see here<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googl…> for directions). We offer a limited amount of free drinks (the earlier you arrive; the better). And you can take a pizza from the restaurant opposite of Bel Ray, and take it back into the cocktail bar. We look forward to meeting you for the first time or catching up from where we left it! Please share the word with fellow academics who have a keen interest in political psychology, emotions, cognitive neuroscience and psychophysiology. Also, please feel welcome to bring your +1 with. Hope to see you there! Gijs Schumacher, Diamantis Petropoulos Petalas & Manos Tsakiris Kind regards, Maaike Homan PhD Candidate at the Political Science Department Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research University of Amsterdam Room B10.01 [logo hot politics]
