Daniel got no theory, but still a nobel in hand.

Check out our latest work on how affordance may protect socially vulnerable individuals on digital platforms.

Agree. Online behavioral data may be an affordable alternative option for longitudinal data, but uses can depend on the nature of the theory. I most often see agenda setting being engaged with social media data but less so other media theories.

Thank you for reposting!! I’m excited when scholars’ ideas come together from different angles. My amazing coauthors, Amanda Holmstrom, @natpen.bsky.social and Jeffrey Hall. The data are from the American Friendship Project.

A milestone in my AI matchmaking research: after seeing some pattern in earlier interview and survey studies (Hu 2024a/b; Hu & Wang; Hu & Zhan), me and Erika tested the self-fulfilling prophecy of algorithmic beliefs w/ experiments. More to come! Grateful for folks' support. Happy to chat more!
