How effective are climate protests at swaying policy — and what could make a difference?
2023
Why people take to the streets to march against global heating is relatively well documented. But it’s unclear why certain tactics work better than others in reaching the public and policymakers.

Social science interest in professionals and managers as a left- and liberal-trending stratum has increased in recent years. Using General Social Survey data over a 44-year period, the authors examine 15 attitudes spanning social, economic, and political identity liberalism. On nearly all attitudes, professionals and managers have trended in a liberal direction, have liberalized more quickly than blue-collar workers, and are either as or more liberal than blue-collar workers. The authors find that the higher levels of education among professionals and managers, their tendency to adopt nonauthoritarian outlooks, and their lower propensity to identify with fundamentalist religion mediate their more liberal trends vis-à-vis blue-collar workers. Conversely, their higher relative incomes suppress the extent of their economic and criminal justice liberalism. The authors’ theorization links changes in the macro-economy to growing gaps in the composition of the two strata and the activities of politicians and parties to consolidate emerging political differences.

The political behavior of the human being is part of his existence; Whereas, all the emotions, reactions, attitudes and judgments made by community members regarding a topic or issue that concern their lives and social relations, explain the resulting political behavior towards all public issues. As a result, attention must be paid to all the stances and rulings issued by the components and individuals of society regarding political life. The general public and society, and the leaderships and ruling political parties should respond to the behavior and political positions of the majority of the community members, and this stage (the preparatory stage) must be taken care of by the government and civil society institutions and in cooperation with school administrations in order to preserve respect for the principle of legitimacy, and to consecrate the principle of peoples' trust in the rulers and the ruling authorities Generally.

We Are All Social Scientists Now: How Big Data, Machine Learning, and Causal Inference Work Together
2015
Information is being produced and stored at an unprecedented rate. The promise of the \"big data\" revolution is that in these data are the answers to fundamental questions of businesses, governments, and social sciences. Grimmer argues that big data provides the opportunity to learn about quantities that were infeasible only a few years ago. The opportunity for descriptive inference creates the chance for political scientists to ask causal questions and create new theories that previously would have been impossible.

When does activism benefit well-being? Evidence from a longitudinal study of Clinton voters in the 2016 U.S. presidential election
2019
Contrary to the expectations of many, Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The initial shock to her supporters turned into despair for most, but not everyone was affected equally. We draw from the literature on political activism, identity, and self-other overlap in predicting that not all Clinton voters would be equivalently crushed by her loss. Specifically, we hypothesize that pre-election measures of political activism, and level of self-other identification between participants and Clinton-that is, how much a person was \"with her\"-will interact to predict the level of distress of Clinton voters two months later. Longitudinal data support our hypothesis. Notably, among Clinton voters, greater activism negatively predicted depressive symptoms, and positively predicted sleep quality, but only when participants were highly identified with Clinton. We discuss the implications of the results for theory and research on social action and well-being.
