A NEW MEASURE FOR PARTY COHERENCE: APPLYING A PHYSICS-BASED CONCEPT TO THE SWISS PARTY SYSTEM
2013
Advances in Complex Systems
Our work serves as an example of how a complex systems approach allows to get a new perspective on a long-standing issue in political science. ...
The article revives a theoretical definition of party coherence as being composed of two basic elements, cohesion and factionalism, to propose and apply a novel empirical measure based on spin physics. ...
A fourth approach (method D) is to identify sub-groups within each party and then to apply the uni-dimensional Esteban-Ray polarization measure. ...

Political Partisanship and Anti-Science Attitudes in Online Discussions about Covid-19
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Our findings shed light on the multi-dimensional nature of polarization, and the feasibility of tracking polarized opinions about the pandemic across time and space through social media data. ...
We analyze a large dataset of tweets related to the pandemic collected between January and May of 2020, and develop methods to classify the ideological alignment of users along the moderacy (hardline vs ...
Inspired by this idea, we capture some of the complexity of polarization by projecting opinions in a multi-dimensional space, with different axes corresponding to different semantic dimensions. ...

We further propose a new way to measure homophily in multi-party systems based on the cosine similarity between users. ...
Previous research endeavors to identify echo chambers in OSNs have scarcely investigated the community structures of a network on a fine granular level, specifically in the context of multi-party systems ...
Discussion As a theoretical contribution, in this study we propose a four-step framework to analyze the phenomenon of echo chambers in the political context of multi-party systems and tackle three aspects ...

Why Are U.S. Parties So Polarized? A "Satisficing" Dynamical Model
2020
SIAM Review
We explain this apparent contradiction by developing a dynamical model that predicts ideological positions of political parties. ...
In particular, the model explains how polarization between the Democrats and Republicans since the 1960s could be a consequence of increasing ideological homogeneity within the parties. ...

Tea Party in the House: A Hierarchical Ideal Point Topic Model and Its Application to Republican Legislators in the 112th Congress
2015
Proceedings of the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 7th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (Volume 1: Long Papers)
We introduce the Hierarchical Ideal Point Topic Model, which provides a rich picture of policy issues, framing, and voting behavior using a joint model of votes, bill text, and the language that legislators ...
We use this model to look at the relationship between Tea Party Republicans and "establishment" Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 112 th Congress. ...
In future work, we plan to pursue the new framework suggested by our analyses, investigating the interaction of issue polarization and framing-based polarization. ...

An Argument Communication Model of Polarization and Ideological Alignment

2019
arXiv
pre-print
If agents preferentially interact with other agents that hold similar attitudes on one or several issues, this leads to biased argument pools and polarization in the sense that groups of agents selectively ...
A multi-level model of opinion formation is presented which takes into account that attitudes on different issues are usually not independent. ...
An Example with Three Issues One of the objectives of the model presented throughout this paper is to work towards a framework that allows to connect opinion dynamics modeling to real data on political ...
