This article reports that strong approval of the National Rifle Association is associated with greater support for political violence and higher willingness to engage in such acts. The findings come from a nationally representative longitudinal survey and suggest links between organizational approval and readiness to consider or participate in political violence.

The topic sheds light on how ideological alignment with a prominent social movement can correlate with attitudes toward violence, offering insight into how beliefs and group affiliations relate to behavior. It highlights the importance of examining social identity and belief systems in understanding political violence within psychology.

These are some of the worst-written choices for a survey question I’ve ever seen. It seems like the person who wrote this doesn’t know how to write survey questions but also wanted to be deliberately misleading so they can get the kind of answers they want.

Who Produces #Knowledge? #AI Intervention in Survey Research between Paradigmatic Reaction and Epistemological Drift
When AI systems generate items, simulate respondents, or classify open-ended responses, measurement itself is shaped by interpretative operations embedded within the model. In relation to this interest, we are inviting contributors to this HSR special issue.

Is checking students' online surveys multiple times in the same day technically stalking? I swear, I just want what's best for them. I just want them to stay safe. Other professors don't know how to treat their surveys.

I feel like I'm constantly fighting an uphill battle when I raise awareness about any privacy issues. This email went out to my campus a few days ago from (ironically) the American Democracy Project. The link is below:

https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx%3Fid%3DPAUkwXjwhEmPnTWuD3jFim27hL6NsGFBs-JLhn5poQ5URU4xM0tKRVM1S0w3UUNPQjdISDQwRzdIOS4u&data=05%7C02%7C[MyFullName]%40[MyUniversity].edu%7C426332fa16114117c45d08de8f73e19e%7Cc124053cf07849848f9d35ae0f78c58a%7C0%7C0%7C639105925031635084%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=V1ThxSS%2BVa236C7i03BCacXkisZdjcJLoopiOGDaZeI%3D&reserved=0

I removed my full fucking name and the name of my university; I'm sure there's shit that can be extracted by a knowledgeable person. Or maybe I'm paranoid and overreacting. I don't think all that text is necessary to simply route me to a survey's URL, even if it is on Microsoft Forms.

I replied to the all-campus email and said there was some data sent with that link, including my name. I said I'd like to participate in the survey if it was anonymous and asked if there was a simple, sanitized link that didn't send my name and other information with it. I got bounced to the Very Sincere Student Project Leader who assured me that there was no personal information collected, and I could verify this by looking at the questions in the survey.

On MS Forms.

Linked with all the stuff above.

Sigh. American Democracy, indeed.

gods save us from the college freshman edgelords who refuse to select any race/ethnicity categories in surveys and instead type in 'IRISH' (all caps).

You cost me 5 minutes of data cleaning, but I guess you'll add some good variability when you tell us how you feel about trans people.

I think I figured out why Qualtrics as a product hasn't lived up to anyone's expectations. If I had the time maybe I'd comb through their open issues and unaddressed feature requests to see if there's a little cliff in 2021.

I've sadly come to conclude that #qualtrics (my beloved survey platform started by some fresh-faced Mormon boys from BYU 20 years ago) has become kind of enshittified.

For almost 20 years the company has had requests to add pretty reasonable features like (definitely not an exhaustive list):

• Vertical sliders
• Text orientation in labels
• non-numerical recodes (this has looked like it should for at least 15 years)
• Parity in options between matrix, sliders, and side-by-side questions

Several others, too. Nope. At least a dozen highly reasonable feature requests still unaddressed for 15+ years. I got off the phone with customer service and their best answer for vertical sliders or CSS-rotated slider/matrix labels was "check our community help forums, though we don't support anything they say." It's the Google/Microsoft model: convince people to crowdsource their own workarounds to your product while you rake in the dough from tens of thousands of organizational contracts.

Qualtrics' revenue is close to $2B per year, and they are valued north of $15B.

The sad thing is that there seem to be so few viable alternatives.
