Hot Politics Lab 26/3

Hi everyone, This Friday (March 26) is the last Friday of the month, which means it's Graduate Friday at the Online Hot Politics Lab! In this session Neil Fasching (University of Amsterdam) will talk about "Viral Violence: The Effects of Police Violence Framing, Group Identity, and Militarization on Public Outrage and Perception of Police". See the abstract of the project below. Afterwards, Christian Pipal (University of Amsterdam) will present "Emotional Rhetoric in Parliamentary Debates". The talks 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.…> at 3pm (CET). Abstract (Neil Fasching): As the recent protests and demonstrations in response to police brutality make clear, the framing of police conduct can have a profound impact on the behavior and attitudes of the public. However, the specific extent of this impact has yet to be investigated. Using a large experiment (N = 3,927) fielded in the United States, I investigate the degree to which the framing of police violence affects the public's outrage and perception of the police. Further, I extent this literature by building on intergroup conflict theory and by replicating recent work into the effect of police militarization (Mummolo, 2018). And finally, I test how police violence, group identity, and militarization interact in influencing the public's anger and outrage as well as attitudes towards the police. The results indicate that police violence has a large positive effect on moral outrage and a small negative effect on police perception. Group identity did influence the degree to which individuals were outraged, at least for one of the two issues, while no three-way interactions were found. Exploratory analyses show that moral outrage differed by political parties with Republicans being less outraged than Democrats. In all, the results highlight that while people have profound emotional responses to police violence - such as being angered and outraged - the framing of police violence seems to have a minimal effect on the public's perception of the police.

Hi everyone, This Friday (February 12) from 15:00 till 16:00 we will have another exciting Online Hot Politics Lab meeting. This time Yanna Krupnikov (Department of Political Science, Stony Brook University) will give a talk titled "When and Why Affective Polarization Affects Politics". See below the abstract of the project she will present. 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.…> at 3pm (CET). Title: When and Why Affective Polarization Affects Politics Co-authors: James Druckman, Samara Klar, Matt Levendusky and John Barry Ryan Abstract: Affective polarization is one of the most discussed phenomena of American politics of the last decade. Especially pivotal to affective polarization is partisan animosity - a dislike for the opposing party - which has emerged as more powerful than affinity for one's own party. Although researchers and journalists have often assumed that the affective polarization should have important down-stream effects on political outcomes, there has been relatively little consideration of the political consequences of this phenomenon (Iyengar et al. 2019). The research that has tracked its possible political consequences, however, found that few exist (Broockman et al. 2021). In this project we take a step back and re-consider the role of affective polarization in American politics. First, we consider the individual foundations of affective polarization. Second, we consider why one would (or would not) expect affective polarization to have political implications. Finally, using an over-time panel study, we analyze the conditions under which affective polarization may be most likely to influence political behavior.

Hi everyone, This Friday (January 22) from 15:00 till 16:00 we will have another exciting lab meeting. In this session of the Online Hot Politics Lab, Leor Zmigrod (University of Cambridge) will give a talk titled "A Cognitive Science of the Ideological Mind". The talk will be followed by a Q&A, and everybody is welcome to join via Zoom with this link: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/96492065253<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuva-live.…> at 3pm (CET). Below a bio and abstract of Leor's talk. TITLE: A Cognitive Science of the Ideological Mind ABSTRACT: Since the birth of modern civilisation, humans have been creating stories that capture their theories about how the world works and how they should act within this complex world. These narratives both describe and prescribe human action, and exist in a kaleidoscope of forms - from religious doctrines to authoritarian nationalism to political manifestos. Why do these explosive ideologies seduce and captivate the human brain? New research illustrates that our ideologies may be tightly interconnected with our perceptual and cognitive architecture. Data-driven approaches highlight that ideological beliefs are amenable to careful cognitive and computational analysis, revealing the cocktail of cognitive traits that can make a mind more (or less) susceptible to ideological dogmatism. BIO: Dr Leor Zmigrod is a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. Her research combines methods from experimental psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience to investigate the psychology of ideological adherence and group identity formation. In particular, she is interested in investigating cognitive characteristics that might act as vulnerability factors for radicalization and ideologically-motivated behaviour.
