1/ Will voters participate in the primary of a party they oppose to prevent the nomination of a candidate they fear?
In a new paper in AJPS with @HayleyCohen, we study crossover voting using surveys and a large field experiment (N=83,902) in the 2024 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary.

After years of doubt, drafts, and disbelief, my first—and likely last—book is finally out. It’s about how entertainment media shapes American politics.
If you preorder (a.co/d/ctGUWkZ), I’d love to send a small token of thanks: forms.gle/1YrkYX2t2nPCTgRw7

Thrilled to see my paper with @patrickpliu in the APSR!
We address a crucial question in political psychology — whether persuasive attempts targeting deeply held issues cause attitudes to grow more extreme or encourage moderation — using tailored AI-powered surveys.

Do attitudes grow more extreme when challenged? In a new working paper, @PatrickPLiu and I use GPT-3 to expose people to tailored arguments challenging deeply held issue positions. Across three pre-registered studies, we fail to find evidence of attitude polarization.
