  1. Can a network-based attitude space inform social identification? Introducing a novel approach to research attitude-identity relationships Adrian Lueders, Dino Carpentras, Michael Quayle dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  2. Linear spectrum Network / Item response theory dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  3. Fundings This project has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sk odowska-Curie grant agreement No 891347 and from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 802421). dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  5. How our method works dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  6. Gay rights Country music Abortion Abortion D dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  7. Similarity link Gay rights Country music Abortion Abortion D dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  8. Similarity link Gay rights Country music Abortion Abortion D dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  9. Attitudes We are based on IRT Every node is not an item But an item-response We call them attitudes Abortion legal:Strongly agree Abortion legal:Strongly disagree Abortion Abortion Abortion dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  10. Distance Country music Gay rights Abortion Abortion D dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  11. Clusters dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  12. Node: item-response Gay rights Gay rights Gay rights Women rights Abortion dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  13. Node: item-response Low prb High prb of being selected together dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  14. The data dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  15. The data Prolific academic Americans N= 402 8 political items 5 levels SD = Republican SA = Democrat Self identification dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  16. What we expected dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  17. What we expected Strongly Disagree, Weakly Disagree, Neutral, Weakly Agree, Strongly Agree (using only 3 items for visual representation) dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  18. What we expected Strongly Disagree, Weakly Disagree, Neutral, Weakly Agree, Strongly Agree (using only 3 items for visual representation) dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  19. Levels Strongly Disagree, Weakly Disagree, Neutral, Weakly Agree, Strongly Agree dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  20. Levels Strongly Disagree, Weakly Disagree, Neutral, Weakly Agree, Strongly Agree dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  21. Is this an artifact? If you Weakly Agree that abortion should be legal, you are on the Republican Side dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  22. Self ID Correlation with self- identification as Democrat [Discretized] blue = positive; red = negative dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  23. Self ID Correlation with self- identification as Democrat [Discretized] blue = positive; red = negative dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  24. Why? Democrats seem to have a clear positioning on some subjects E.g. Abortion ->Strongly Agree dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  25. Why? 2 groups: flat-earthers and non- 1 item: Earth is not flat: Flat earthers Non flat-earthers WA N WD SD SA dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  26. Self ID Correlation with self- identification as Democrat [Discretized] blue = positive; red = negative dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  27. Other main results On the same dataset People like more close attitudes There are many ways to be republican On other datasets Asymmetry in the opinion space Neutral have more in common with one side Which attitudes are more important for defining a party dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino

  28. Contacts www.dinocarp.com dino.carpentras@gmail.com @JustaNormalDino Social Complexity Preprints coming up soon! dino.carpentras@gmail.com - www.dinocarp.com - twitter:@justaNormalDino
