“Nothing to lose or a world to win”: Reconsidering the roles of efficacy, legitimacy, political trust and repression in confrontational collective action
No full textConfrontational collective actions are neither uncontrolled outbursts of initially pacifist resistance nor mere reactions to helplessness and lack of viable political options. Instead, they serve strategically determined purposes within the group, making them perceived as both effective and legitimate. Regardless of whether it is more or less confrontational, examining the role of efficacy and legitimacy of actions that are committed to achieving group goals is crucial for understanding the appeal of collective action strategies. We examined the role of political trust and protest repression in predicting the legitimacy of protest violence and the perceived efficacy of confrontational and non-confrontational collective actions and, in turn, their role in confrontational collective action. Across three correlational studies conducted in Germany, Turkey, and the UK (N = 3,833), the legitimacy of protest violence and the efficacy of confrontational tactics were core determinants of confrontational collective actions. While low political trust did not directly predict confrontational action, it predicted heightened protest repression and the legitimacy of protest violence. Our findings challenge the nothing-to-lose hypothesis by demonstrating that confrontational actions are not driven by the low efficacy of non-confrontational strategies or low political trust, and people may perceive both confrontational and non-confrontational actions as similarly effective

Politicians and Evidence
No full textHow do politicians evaluate and respond to evidence? Organizations across the world invest significant resources to produce policy evidence. Yet, politicians’ ability to use this evidence to inform policy decisions remains underexplored. In three experiments involving 3,521 mayors and councilors from six Western democracies, we find that representatives treat convenience samples, imprecise estimates, and correlational evidence as less informative. However, baseline levels of statistical literacy are low, and effect sizes are small. Compared to a sample of social science undergraduates, local politicians’ ability to discount unreliable evidence is 4-5 times lower. Moreover, statistical literacy does not necessarily translate into persuasion. When presented with large effect sizes, officials disregard the quality of evidence. More professionalized politicians are not better able to evaluate evidence. The results reveal that the prospects of informing policy with evidence will remain constrained without well-equipped decision-makers

Dynamics of Later-Life Caregiving and Health. Insights From Biomarker Data and Cognitive Tests
No full textAs populations age and informal caregiving becomes more widespread, the health consequences of providing care are becoming a key concern for societies. Sociological theories of stress appraisal and role strain posit detrimental consequences to the health and wellbeing of caregivers. Conversely, role enhancement theory holds that caregiving can have positive health consequences. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) collected among adults aged 50 years or older with a follow-up period of up to 20 years (2002-23, N ca. 20,000 persons), we examine associations between transitions into and out of caregiving, and two key health outcomes which have been understudied as consequences of caregiving, namely: allostatic load and cognitive functioning. We estimate asymmetric fixed-effects models which model changes in health outcomes as a function of transitions into and out of caregiving while accounting for unobserved between-person heterogeneity. Our results show that caregiving is associated with better cognitive health for both men and women, but not with improved biomarker-based allostatic load. Results do not differ by caregiving intensity, irrespective of which amount of time is defined as intense caregiving. Our findings provide support for role enhancement theory, suggesting that caregivers benefit in terms of cognitive functioning, even if a biomarker-based approach to measuring stress-related health outcome does not corroborate an overall health benefit. We formulate implications for policy-making and directions for future research
Profiles in Aesthetic Engagement: A New Measurement Tool and A Snapshot of Behavior in the United States
No full textThis project contains the data, analysis scripts, materials, and supplemental documentation for the manuscript Profiles in Aesthetic Engagement, currently under review. The study develops and validates the Assessment of Aesthetic Participation (AAP)—a measure capturing engagement with the arts across in-person, digital, and creation/performance domains—and identifies latent profiles of aesthetic participation in a U.S. sample.
The project includes the full analytic workflow: exploratory factor analysis (10-factor solution), regression-based factor scoring, and Gaussian mixture modeling (a 5-profile solution). We also provide demographic analyses, preregistered convergent validity tests, supplemental analyses, and code for all figures.
This OSF repository includes:
De-identified dataset used in all analyses (AAP_norming_forOSF.csv)
All reproducible R scripts (factor scoring, LPA, demographic analyses, preregistered tests, supplemental analyses, and figure generation)
Manuscript and supplemental materials
Codebook and scoring documentation
High-resolution figures
All personal identifiers have been removed, and all analyses are fully reproducible using the code provided in the /code directory
