Dynamics of public expression about artificial intelligence
Slant, Extremity, and Diversity
The 2020 election and its aftermath present an opportunity to understand how audiences’ changing news consumption patterns within an expanded, digitized, and polarized media environment shape electoral judgments. This paper introduces measures that capture individuals’ partisan slant, partisan extremity, and overall diversity of news media use to understand how people interact with the contemporary news ecology. The measures combine self-reported…
Talking Past Each Other on Twitter
Extending literature on political polarization and political expression, we study patterns of polarized expression by vocal partisans from opposing camps on social media. Specifically, we argue that polarized partisan expression can be characterized by three divergences: 1) different thematic emphases on the same issue; 2) response to different real-world events on the same issue; and 3) a temporal disconnect at the aggregate level. Highlighting …
News Attention and Social-Distancing Behavior Amid Covid-19
Despite the fact that social distancing is an effective mean to slow the spread of COVID-19, individuals often fail to practice this behavior. Major US news media provided information to the public about social distancing after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, potentially spurring this preventative health practice. Using data from a representative sample of US residents, this study aims to understand the relationship between news media attention…

Vaccine hesitancy has been a growing public health issue, but during COVID-19, understanding vaccine hesitancy and promote vaccine favorability takes on a troubling immediacy. With the growing political polarization on scientific issues, the COVID-19 vaccine-related sentiment has recently been divided across ideological lines. This study aims to understand how vaccine favorability and specific vaccine-related concerns including possible side effe…
Feeling Fine about Being Wrong
Research suggests a limited influence for corrective information in promoting more accurate beliefs, a phenomenon attributed to directional-motivated reasoning. We consider whether an act of self-affirmation—providing people with an alternative source of self-worth—reduces directional-motivated reasoning, thereby improving the effectiveness of corrective information. Across two experiments, self-affirmation was found to mitigate the influence of …
