Feeling down isn’t just personal—it can change how you see the world. Our study finds depression lowers political trust in China, especially when people sees society unfair.

How does democratic rule in policy-making impact political trust in authoritarian regimes? Using survey data, @xiyingxingchen & coauthors find that it boosts trust in local officials, especially among lower-income villagers and non-CCP members. Full paper: https://t.co/nJBTe8krgp

@EHWpolisci @AJPS_Editor congrats!!!!!!!

We find this decreased trust is partly due to increased mild depression related to heightened pollution concerns. Grateful for my coauthor @shen_xiaoxiao 's insights from political psychology that highlight the mental health dimension of environmental issues!

[Xing Chen @xiyingxingchen]

How does revealed air pollution adversely moderate the positive effect of information disclosure on political trust? My latest study in Governance uncovers surprising insights in the Chinese context.

Second, this "adverse moderation" effect is stronger among urban internet users, non-CCP members, parents, and educated individuals.

[Xing Chen @xiyingxingchen]

First finding: air pollution information, when disclosed, negatively influences political trust, especially in less polluted areas where people were previously unaware of pollution levels.

😍😍Excited to share my first publication in Political Science! Stepping out of my comfort zone as a former Environmental Economist, this work is inspired by Alkon & Wang (2018) in JOP; Barwick et al., forthcoming in AER; Greenstone et al. (2022) in AER Insights!

Christmas Paper Alert! We find that in less polluted areas in China, where there was a lack of visible smog, information disclosure of air pollution actually led to citizens' decreased political trust, through increased risk of depression. https://t.co/3ZxvfK4MjE
