Shared partisanship dramatically increases social tie formation in a Twitter field experiment
M. Mosleh, C. Martel, et al.
Americans are far more likely to connect with copartisans — but is party identity the cause? In a Twitter field experiment, users were roughly three times more likely to follow-back bots whose partisanship matched their own, with no asymmetry between Democrats and Republicans. Research conducted by Mohsen Mosleh, Cameron Martel, Dean Eckles, and David G. Rand.
