1/n Should the American public be allowed to vote on the number of immigrants admitted into the US and from which countries? (note: interesting survey question, but its double-barrelled nature is a problem).

Overall, 47% of YouGov respondents say yes, while 53% say that..
2/n ..it shouldn't be up to voters to decide. Interestingly, though, white Democrats are far more likely to give a 'no' response than non-white Dems. Accordingly, if we remove white dems from the sample, the numbers flip: 54% in favor, 46% opposed.
3/n Also interesting (but not surprising): the more a person wants to increase (decrease) immigration, the more he/she is likely to oppose (support) allowing the public to vote on immigration numbers.
4/4 What about you: should immigration levels and composition be decided on by voters?

1/2 I look forward to reading this book.
Glanced at the prologue and it jells with a theme I observed in my qualitative analysis of open-response entries: by and large, white racial resentment ≠ 'I hate black people'. It's more like...
2/2 ..'I'm tired of people lumping all whites into a single group and blaming me--and expecting me to pay--for the problems of others'

The proponents of the RR scale, though, think whites *are* responsible for the disadvantages of others. Hence, they interpret denials of..
3/3 ...responsibility as anti-black animus.

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

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
