Title: Using Computational Social Science to Assess the Impacts of Social Media on Political Attitudes and Behavior
Abstract: What did we learn about the impact of Facebook and Instagram on key political attitudes and behaviors during the U.S. 2020 elections? How do those lessons shape our expectations of the role of social media platforms in the 2024 election? The public and pundits frequently blame social media for a variety of societal ills, ranging from affective polarization to the spread of disinformation to the extremity of people’s attitudes. In this talk, Jaime Settle will present the results from five studies that have been published out of an academic collaboration with Meta that use experimental and observational approaches on Meta’s platforms to assess their impact on people’s political attitudes and behavior.
Andrew Brady, ’24, a double major in mathematics and computer science, has been awarded a Goldwater Scholarship. The Goldwater Scholarship is a national award for students who are pursuing STEM disciplines and who are likely to go to graduate school in a STEM discipline.
