Using agent-based modeling techniques, the project incorporates features of information flow,...
This $299,959 EAGER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a project that tests theories of reinforcement to promote high-quality, balanced news and public affairs information on social media. The project team at the University of California, Davis is designing and evaluating two interventions that nudge social media algorithms to improve news and public affairs recommendations. One intervention uses...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the causal impact of social media on psychological outcomes. The postdoctoral fellow, under the sponsorship of Dr. Jay Van Bavel at New York University, will conduct a field experiment to examine how temporarily reducing social media usage affects variables such as intergroup attitudes, well-being, and news...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $105,524 to the University of Illinois to investigate the demographic biases in "social polls" conducted on social media platforms.
