🕒 Come along at 3pm TODAY (UK time) to our #CPCCGWebinar with Julia Behrman of @northwesternu. Julia will explore how shifting norms around having #children, measured through a new #US #surveyexperiment, reveal growing ambiguity and #individualisation in #childbearing expectations.

6/ w/ a #surveyexperiment we did an initial exploration of respondent willingness to commit to a dignity agenda.
We randomly assigned a control msg (C) or 1 of 4 short, affect-based messages encouraging such commitment.
C: a #reflection Q
T1: #annoyance msg
T2: #disgust msg
T3: #joy msg
T4: #satisfaction msg
Attractive People Make Better Music? How Gender and Perceived Attractiveness Affect the Evaluation of Electronic Dance Music Artists
A recent study conducted by researchers employed a cognitive sociological perspective to assess the impact of a DJ's perceived attractiveness on the evaluation of music fragments, specifically electronic dance music (EDM). Using a survey experiment based on randomized vignettes, a sample of 2710 individuals from the US population was evaluated.
The study found that there was a strong positive relationship between the DJ's perceived attractiveness and the evaluation of the music. However, while this was true for both male and female DJs, male artists slightly benefited more from their looks. These results provide further evidence for the notion that non-musical traits about artists play a role in the evaluation of music.
The study provides a new insight into the relationship between a DJ's physical appearance and the evaluation of their music, challenging previously held perceptions and adding to the understanding of the complex processes involved in music evaluations.

#SurveyExperiment folks - where would you suggest somebody looks for small (in the scheme of things) grants to cover the cost of fielding the survey?
Substantively exploring questions of foreign policy, public opinion, and law. Asking for a me (and a cooler coauthor). #ResearchFunding #AcademicMastodon #AcademicChatter
What makes us comply to infection control measures? The #PANDRISK team performed a survey experiment in the early pandemic (N=2 533). We manipulated whether a pandemic outbreak was described as high (vs. low) risk with prosocial (vs. self-interested) appeals to comply. We found both factors to have small effects on intention to comply.
Now published as the first PhD paper of Sebastian Bjørkheim: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0274024 #SurveyExperiment #compliance #InfectionControlMeasures #PandemicResearch
To limit an infectious outbreak, the public must be informed about the infection risk and be motivated to comply with infection control measures. Perceiving a situation as threatening and seeing benefits to complying may be necessary to motivate for compliance. The current study used a preregistered survey experiment with a 2-by-2 between-subject design to investigate if emphasizing high infection risk and appealing to societal benefits impacted intention to comply with infection control measures. The results from a representative Norwegian sample (N = 2533) show that describing a high (as opposed to low) personal risk scenario had a small main effect on compliance. Further, appealing to public (as opposed to self-interested) benefits also had a small main effect. There was no interaction between risk scenario and motivational emphasis. The results suggest that to maximize compliance, information about disease outbreak should emphasize the individual risk of contracting the disease, and could also underline the public value of limiting infection spread. These findings can inform health authorities about the motives underlying compliance with infection control measures during an infectious disease outbreak.
