Now out at @ScienceAdvances, @dianagalos and I present a "meta-reanalysis" of audit experiments studying employment discrimination on the basis of gender.
Headline finding is in the title: gender composition predicts gender bias.
- The three key ideas from the book I want to put in people's minds
- Suggestions for how to include it on a syllabus
- Thank yous to the many scholars whose work I replicated or reanalyzed
Key idea #1: The Persuasion in Parallel pattern is common
Here's a schematic instance of the PiP pattern.
Suppose on average, red triangles oppose a policy, blue circles support it.
When exposed to persuasive information, both groups update their views "in parallel"

Oliver McClellan and I are very excited to share our "Lucid Validation" paper, out today at @Res_Pol!
Main finding: @lucid_hq is an aggregator of survey respondents that shows promise for researchers doing online survey experiments
Open-access link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…
1/5
We followed the basic design of the "MTurk validation" paper by @AdamBerinsky, Greg Huber, and @GabeLenz, who replicated a series of original studies on MTurk. We found that the same survey experiments conducted on Lucid got similar answers. 2/5

Brief thread on this "absence of backlash" paper with @andyguess, now out at @BJPolS!
Link to journal: ow.ly/WT5c30mveEs
Ungated: alexandercoppock.com/papers/GC_back…1/ We would count *oppositely signed CATE estimates for two different groups* as evidence of backlash to a persuasive attempt. This did not occur in 3 experiments (on gun control, minimum wage, and capital punishment) when we split by pre-treatment measures of policy support.
