Important new work from our lab, led by Yi-Hsin (Sheen) Su 蘇誼炘 , shows that people are less likely to opt out of voting (and less likely to poll 'undecided') if you ask them to choose which candidate is worse, rather than which candidate is better. 🗳️papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… 🧵 below:

Our newest preprint explores whether feelings (affect) may be the only form of value you need to motivate thoughts and actions. "The affective gradient hypothesis: An affect-centered account of motivated behavior." osf.io/preprints/psya… See 🧵 below to learn more:
