@felicia_rthm Thank you so much Felicia! ☺️

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.

[Lena Huber @lenamariahuber]

Very glad to see the final paper of my dissertation (coauthored with Martin Haselmayer) now out in @WEPsocial!

We test our hypotheses using election manifestos (1990–2019) and public opinion data for Austria. The findings show that parties use group appeals to reinforce their strengths and respond to voter priorities.

@FloriSoPoliSci @ThomasMMeyer @MarkusWagnerAT @The_JOP Thanks Flori!

[Lena Huber @lenamariahuber]

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.

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.

[Lena Huber @lenamariahuber]

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