1/2 No citation needed for this causal statement. Just skip right to the disparities and call them racism (and then lament that white people are resistant to interventions designed to promote this understanding).
2/2 What's frustrating is *not* that it's a bad paper (I found it interesting). It's that the findings are in no way dependent on the truth of this causal claim (though I suppose their normative framing and activist implications are). I thus don't know why it's relevant.
3/3 Addendum: I guess I just wish social science papers would just stick purely to the findings and leave it for others to derive their own implications
Paper (actually a dissertation) in question for those curious deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42…

1/n In the end, I've decided to turn an article (which I opted to write because I couldn't find any existing articles on the web to my liking) that I intended only to use as an anti-(white)guilt/shame experimental treatment into my first substack post. zachgoldberg.substack.com/p/exposing-the…
2/n The goal here is to manipulate the extent that white respondents believe that racial disparities result from discrimination (which I predict will, in turn, moderate feelings of guilt/shame). So any feedback (or even alternative article suggestions) is appreciated
3/n For those that are curious, another condition--the stimulus for which is provided below--attempts to do the opposite (i.e. increase attributions of discrimination, feelings of guilt/shame). gsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dc…

@glukianoff @JonHaidt The Pew panel survey included the negative mental health symptoms battery in a subsequent wave (1 month later). Here were the results
@glukianoff @JonHaidt Same battery was also included in the ANES 2020 pilot survey
@glukianoff @JonHaidt The latest ANES Time Series survey included only 2 mental health items (restlessness, trouble concentrating), but the substantive pattern is replicated notwithstanding. I will graph the results and share.

1/n Updated whites vs. racial/ethnic outgroup feeling thermometer differential scores. Among white liberals, the average differential further widened (in the pro-outgroup/anti-white direction) by about 7 points between 2016-2020, while the small pro-white differential among...
2/n white mods and conservatives narrowed.

Below you have the average differential (among white respondents) for 2020 across the complete 7-point ideology scale. 'Very liberal' now rate racial/ethnic minorities nearly 22 (!) points more warmly than they do whites.
3/n Also worth noting that some of these changes are due to increases in the proportion that give outright negative (< 50) ratings of whites. In fact, the 2020 proportion of 'anti-white' white liberals (~11%) is the highest on record.

1/n Latest ANES data shows that ~42%, 34%, and 30% of white liberals now report regularly getting news from the NYT, Washington Post, and CNN (website) respectively--which is up from 18%, 6%, and 16% in 2012. Image
2/n Across this same period, the % of white conservatives who reported regularly getting news from FoxNews.com jumped from 15% (2012) to 26% (2020).
3/n These data are generally consistent with what I previously observed in similar Pew data

1/n Between 2016-2020, white liberals became slightly but significantly less likely to say that political violence is 'not at all' justified, while white conservatives became significantly more likely to give this response.
2/n By party, we see a small drop among Dems and a slightly larger increase among Reps
3/n Virtually all of the decrease among Dems is attributable to White Dems

1/n Skeptic published a second report on these data.

This one suggests that greater trust in news media --> greater overestimation of the percent of people killed by police in 2019 who were black + greater likelihood of thinking that police...
2/n ...are more violent today than they used to be
3/n Partisanship/ideology is an obvious confound here (i.e. dems/liberals more likely to trust the media AND overestimate).
