Do Political Discussion Partners Share Policy Priorities and Policy Frames?
To understand politics, people often rely on political discussion. Among the many ways that discussion may shape political perceptions, one possible mechanism is by promoting a shared sense of priorities— which issues are important. A second mechanism is by framing how people think about important issues. We examine these potential mechanisms by answering the descriptive question: Do policy priorities and policy frames tend to co-occur within pol…
You’re Making Us Look Bad
Partisan elites and members of the public often have attitudes or engage in behavior that could embarrass copartisans. We examine this occurrence—what we call partisan embarrassment—by investigating how much partisans report feeling this embarrassment, what types of scenarios embarrass partisans, what types of partisans feel this embarrassment, and what the political ramifications of partisan embarrassment could be. We expect that when a copartis…

Not who you think? Exposure and vulnerability to misinformation
Is exposure to false information necessary for misbelief? In this article, we consider the possibility that certain individuals hold misinformed beliefs without encountering misinformation, thus questioning for whom exposure to “fake news” is most deleterious. Using a pre-registered experiment on a diverse sample of 1079 US respondents, we find that the young, those with low information literacy, and those with high trust in government tend to ho…
Experimental Measurement of Misperception in Political Beliefs
Recent research suggests widespread misperception about the political views of others. Measuring perceptions often relies on instruments that do not separate uncertainty from inaccuracy. We present new experimental measures of second-order political beliefs. To carefully measure political (mis)perceptions, we have subjects report beliefs as probabilities. To encourage accuracy, we provide micro-incentives for each response. To measure learning, w…
Political psychophysiology
The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the number of studies employing psychophysiological methods to explain variation in political attitudes and behavior. However, the collection, analysis, and interpretation of physiological data present novel challenges for political scientists unfamiliar with the underlying biological concepts and technical skills necessary for utilizing this approach. Our objective in this article is to maximize the e…

Political Discussion Networks and Political Engagement among Voters of Color
Despite a large and growing literature documenting the powerful and positive role that political discussion networks exert on the political behavior among whites, we know little about how political discussion networks affect political behavior among voters of color. To fill this void in the existing literature, we conducted an original survey in California to gather information on a diverse group of registered voters’ political discussion network…
Follow Your Heart
Most Americans are sorted into social networks that are largely politically homogeneous. A large body of political science research has explored the behavioral implications of being embedded in a politically homogeneous or heterogeneous network, but substantially less attention has been given to explaining why some people find themselves in politically homogeneous or heterogeneous social networks. In this article, we explore the psychological and…
Opting Out of Political Discussions
Methodological limitations have hindered our ability to understand the conditions that make individuals seek or avoid political discussions. We introduce a methodological approach to assess communication preferences in contexts where these choices are difficult to measure. We conduct three experiments to examine how the characteristics of the people in a discussion, as well as its topic, influence an individual's "price" to participate. Participa…
Through the Grapevine
Much of the US public acquires political information socially. However, the consequences of acquiring information from others instead of the media are under-explored. I conduct a "telephone-game" experiment to examine how information changes as it flows from official reports to news outlets to other people, finding that social information is empirically different from news articles. In a second experiment on a nationally representative sample, I …
What to Believe? Social Media Commentary and Belief in Misinformation
Modeling Political Information Transmission as a Game of Telephone
Many individuals learn about politics from other people instead of directly from the media. While this could be a good way to reduce information costs, highly controlled lab experiments reveal that the information exchanged can be biased. These important lab experiments are so controlled, however, that they ignore the complexities of language inherent in real-world information transmission. In an effort to improve our understanding of how politic…
