By strategically combining policy issues with group appeals, parties can effectively communicate their platform, connect with diverse social groups, and shape voter perceptions of representation and responsiveness.

I’m thrilled to see this paper (with @ThomasMMeyer & @MarkusWagnerAT) finally published online @The_JOP! We show that social group appeals serve as simple cues for voters, shaping their opinions on policies based on appeal valence and group affect. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

We find that the addition of group appeals substantially influences the evaluations of voters and leads to more extreme policy opinions.

While these appeals serve as potent rhetorical tools for political actors, they can deepen policy disagreements among the public and may also strengthen group stereotypes.

How do parties try to connect themselves with different social groups? In a new working paper with @DrAlonaDolinsky, we propose a unified definition of group-based appeals and outline a research plan for their empirical investigation: osf.io/preprints/osf/szaqw

Finally! @Lena_M_Huber and @DrAlonaDolinsky are writing and presenting the paper I need since the beginning of my PhD: a comprehensive review and condensed definition of (in)direct group(-based) appeals and it’s differentiation to targeting. 🙌 @europsa #EPSA2023
