Are you interested in enhancing your descriptive and causal inference by combining QCA with case studies? I was … 12 years ago and still am. Happy to see my book finally out.

SMMR enhances descriptive and causal inference by identifying the best available cases in your data for within-case analysis. Implemented in R package SetMethods @nenaoana.

Thanks to all who discussed SMMR over the years, esp. @ingorohlfing

New paper @PolBehavior
on 'Learning from Polls During Electoral Campaigns' with Leemann & Traunmüller.

Bayesian learning model + motivated reasoning + experimental evaluation

Two main findings, how voters learn from polls:
- Voters are cautious.
- Partisans are willing to jump to conclusions.

Learning from Polls During Electoral Campaigns - Political Behavior

Voters’ beliefs about the strength of political parties are a central part of many foundational political science theories. In this article, we present a dynamic Bayesian learning model that allows us to study how voters form these beliefs by learning from pre-election polls over the course of an election campaign. In the model, belief adaptation to new polls can vary due to the perceived precision of the poll or the reliance on prior beliefs. We evaluate the implications of our model using two experiments. We find that respondents update their beliefs assuming that the polls are relatively imprecise but still weigh them more strongly than their priors. Studying implications for motivational learning by partisans, we find that varying adaptation works through varying reliance on priors and not necessarily by discrediting a poll’s precision. The findings inform our understanding of the consequences of learning from polls during political campaigns and motivational learning in general.

The Mastodon political science community is scattered across multiple servers. That is fine!

However, one way to keep connected is by the use of *a group*

So, please, all political scientists, follow this group get all political science posts: @politicalscience

And tag the group to share with us all, if you want to spread messages across the entire political science community.

BUT it only works if people follow the group. So, please boost to spread the word! 🙏
