Scientific Ideals Versus Action
Despite increased scholarly attention to scientists’ role in policymaking, little is known about how scientists perceive and enact that role. We examine American scientists’ perspectives on and engagement with policymakers, recruitment into these roles, and possible influences of political ideology on these phenomena. We find that although both technical and advocacy-oriented communication were popular, scientists were more likely to engage in ad…
Ideological asymmetries of trust in elections and non-voting political participation
We replicate and extend previous research that asks whether operational ideology moderates the relationship between trust in elections and non-voting political participation (NVP) in the United States. Using data from the 2024 American National Election Study (ANES, n = 4256), we find more evidence that operational liberals are positively associated with NVP regardless of trust, whereas distrusting operational conservatives, in particular, are as…
Mindset to gain? Framing effects, Need for Chaos, and the limits of ‘Burning It All Down’
Emerging scholarship suggests that willingness to engage in violent or risky behavior relates to Need for Chaos – a trait-state combination reflecting disaffection with society and politics, independent of political identity and beliefs. While previous research links Need for Chaos to a stronger gain-seeking mentality, it remains unclear whether those higher in Need for Chaos respond differently to gain and loss frames. We use a framing experimen…
Information Processing
This entry discusses information processing, or the ways in which people obtain, selectively transform, and store information that can affect political attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. It first reviews the development of classic, constructivist, and dual-processing models of information processing. Situating the discussion in the realm of political information processing, it then reveals how motivated reasoning, as well as other contextual and …
Distrusting the Process
This article explores the relationships between electoral trust, operational ideology, and nonvoting political participation (NVP) during the 2020 US presidential election cycle. We hypothesize that: (1) more liberal operational ideology is associated with more NVP, (2) less electoral trust is associated with more NVP, and (3) operational ideology moderates the negative relationship between electoral trust and NVP. Using data from the 2020 Americ…
By any memes necessary
Although a growing body of scholarship examines who believes conspiracy theories (CTs) and why, less is known about why people share CTs. We test the impact of three independent motives on people’s willingness to share CTs on social media: bolstering their or their group’s beliefs (motivated sharing), generating collective action against their political outgroup because of losing (sounding the alarm), and mobilizing others against the political s…
Going green or making green? The effects of partisanship and inflation on environmental executive orders, 1945−2020
While a growing body of scholarship examines US presidential unilateralism, there remains less focus on policy‐specific areas of unilateral action. Given environmental politics is a particularly constrained and contentious issue area, understanding the conditions that affect the frequency of presidents' environment‐related unilateral activity requires a more nuanced examination. As such, this study draws upon existing theories of unilateralism to…
Can Exceptionalism Withstand Crises? An Evaluation of the Arctic Council's Response to Climate Change and Russia's War on Ukraine
For almost three decades, the Arctic Council has been considered exceptional in its approach to domestic, environmental, and geopolitical issues. Russia's 2022 war on Ukraine and the subsequent pause of the Arctic Council, however, give cause to question whether the Arctic Council remains exceptional in the face of actual crises. We explore this question in two ways: as an endogenous crisis, we provide a systematic literature review of publicatio…
Who are the 3 Per Cent? The Connections Among Climate Change Contrarians
Despite 97 per cent of scientists agreeing on anthropogenic global warming, the remaining 3 per cent play a critical role in keeping the debate about climate consensus alive. Analysis of climate change contrarians from multi-signatory documents reveals 3 per cent of signees to be climate experts, while the remaining 97 per cent do not meet expert criteria and are also involved with organizations and industries who make up the climate change count…
