Hot Politics Lab 9/2

Dear Hot Politics Lab followers, This Friday (9th February) from 15:00-16:00 there will be another Hot Politics Lab meeting. During this session, Patrick Fournier (University of Montreal) will give a talk titled "Do Emotions Drive the Link Between Winning and Satisfaction with Democracy? Leveraging the Lion King, the Super Bowl, and the World Cup". Abstract It is well known that people who vote for electoral winners have higher levels of satisfaction with democracy than those who do not. The literature on this link posits a policy mechanism (people become satisfied or dissatisfied because their party will or will not enter government and form policy) and an emotional mechanism (people become satisfied or dissatisfied because winning and losing affects feelings and emotions that then impact satisfaction), but it has not been able to disentangle the two convincingly. To address this, we employ three pre-registered studies. One study is a survey experiment where participants are randomly assigned to a view a positive/negative excerpt of the animated movie The Lion King before expressing their satisfaction with democracy. Two other two studies exploit the outcome of the 2022 Super Bowl and the final game of the 2022 World Cup. In each case, we interview several thousand people in the two geographic regions home to the two football teams, who are exogenously separated into winning and losing groups based on the outcome of the game. Our interviews are held just before and just after the game's outcome is known. This short-term interrupted panel design allows us to estimate the causal effect of experiencing victory on satisfaction with democracy. Further, as the outcome of the games has no bearing on governmental policy, any difference in satisfaction with democracy across groups is attributable to emotions-especially if effects are bigger for respondents with a strong attachment to one of the competing teams. A null effect would suggest that prior findings of a winner's boost in satisfaction with democracy are attributable to policy considerations. The talks will be followed by a Q&A, and everybody is welcome to join via Zoom: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/82942755100 or join the live session in the Common Room (REC-B9.22) at 3pm (CET).

Hot Politics Lab 25/11
by Maaike Homan 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

Hi everyone, This Friday (25/11) from 15:00 - 16:00 it is Graduate Friday in the Hot Politics Lab. In this session, PhD candidate Tobias Rohrbach (Université de Fribourg) will give a talk titled "Disentangling Stereotype Incongruity in Candidate Evaluation", see the abstract below. Afterwards PhD candidate Maaike Homan (University of Amsterdam) will give a talk titled "Same Anger, Different Perception? Gender Bias in Emotion Perception of Politicians". 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 "Disentangling Stereotype Incongruity in Candidate Evaluation": Academia and political campaigners conventionally cast gender stereotypes as an electoral liability for women in politics. Incongruent stereotype expectations place women in a double-bind where they either fail the social demands of political leadership or they breach gender norms related to femininity-with potential backlash due to stereotype violation in both cases. Two decades of research offer conflicting conclusions regarding the role of stereotype incongruity in candidate evaluations and its electoral consequences for women in politics. This paper theoretically revisits and empirically tests core assumptions of stereotype incongruity as a driver of gender biases in political communication. In a series of five online survey experiments, this study examines incongruity in trait evaluation (studies 1 and 2), trait inferences (studies 3 and 4), and trait perceptions (study 5). The results show that voters reward (or punish) candidates of both gender groups similarly for displaying stereotypically desirable (or undesirable) traits. Voters infer and perceive incongruity in candidate traits for women and men politicians only in few but notable cases. The findings have important implications for the understanding of persistent biases that women face in electoral politics.

Book talk, polarization & democratic transitions
by Maaike Homan 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Dear all, There is a book launch on the 21st of November that might be of interest to some of you. See the details below. Best, Maaike Maaike Homan PhD Candidate at the Political Science Department Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research University of Amsterdam Room B10.01 [logo hot politics] ** Please join us for this month's ACCS Book Talk: After Repression: How Polarization Derails Democratic Transition <https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpress.pri…> Elizabeth Nugent (WZB, Princeton University) Drawing on original interviews and a wealth of new historical data, Elizabeth Nugent documents polarization among the opposition in Tunisia and Egypt prior to the Arab Spring, tracing how different kinds of repression influenced the bonds between opposition groups. She demonstrates how widespread repression created shared political identities and decreased polarization-such as in Tunisia-while targeted repression like that carried out against the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt led opposition groups to build distinct identities that increased polarization among them. This helps explain why elites in Tunisia were able to compromise, cooperate, and continue on the path to democratic consolidation while deeply polarized elites in Egypt contributed to the rapid reentrenchment of authoritarianism. 21 November 2022 15:30-17:00 REC A2.04 Followed by a reception at CREA Dr. Nugent would also be happy to meet with PhDs for coffee before her talk; please contact abbey.steele(a)uva.nl<mailto:abbey.steele@uva.nl> if you would like to join.
