Can AI voter guides help voters decide while remaining accurate, nonpartisan, and trustworthy?
Very grateful to @stanfordimpactlabs.bsky.social for a new grant supporting our next work on this (building on work led by Joe Mernyk & Jonne Kamphorst):

Climate change impacts are here, but public support for action remains polarized. Which climate messages move people?
In a ~13,500-person megastudy, we tested 10 of the most-cited messages. Six increased pro-environmental attitudes in the U.S.—but only by 1–4 percentage points. 🧵

We examine the cultural, psychological and societal impacts of Trump's immigration policies and how Latinos in the Bay Area are responding.

🚨New WP: Can an AI voter guide (grounded in information from a nonpartisan, fact-checked source) help voters’ decision making? 🚨
We built and evaluated an LLM-based chatbot that provided voting info in CA & TX (N=2,474) right before the 2024 election. 🧵👇

Had a blast at the @sociologicalsci.bsky.social
conference at @stanfordsoc.bsky.social last week, which allowed me to both gaze at Rodins & argue that sociologists should try to run our departments as if we believe scholarship on how to have equitable organizations.
