Political Elites and Attitudes Toward International Organizations in the Trump Era
Objective This study examines how political elites influence public opinion on international organizations (IOs), focusing on the impact of President Donald Trump's rhetoric on attitudes toward the World Health Organization (WHO), UN, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Methods Using data from the 2020 American National Election Studies (ANES), we analyze the relationship between Trump support, political knowledge, and public evaluatio…
Media framing and public support for China’s social credit system
Although China’s social credit system (SCS) is widely portrayed by Western media as repressive surveillance, recent studies show that it receives high levels of support among Chinese citizens. Previous research suggests that people support the SCS because they lack knowledge about the system. This study further examines the roles of media framing (Western vs Chinese framing) and monitored behaviors (financial vs social behaviors). The results fro…
Assessing Dimensions of the Security-Liberty Trade-off in the United States
The trade-off between security and liberty has been a leading frame for understanding public opinion about domestic surveillance policies. Most of the empirical work explicitly examining whether individuals meet the trade-off framework’s core attitudinal assumptions comes from European studies. This study uses a survey of US residents to assess the veracity of the assumptions embedded in the trade-off framework, namely whether domestic counterter…
Does Global Market Integration Weaken Opinion‐Policy Congruence in the American States
Theories of economic globalization suggest that public opinion‐public policy congruence should be affected by a state's degree of integration with international markets. With as much attention researchers have given to the opinion‐policy linkage in the American states, it is surprising that this literature has neglected these well‐known globalization frameworks. We take advantage of the wide variation in U.S. states’ integration in global markets…
Trade Exposure and the Polarization of Government Spending in the American States
Studies of economic globalization and government spending often view the United States as an outlier case. Surprisingly, ours is the first empirical study to take advantage of the variation in U.S. states’ exposure to global markets, ideological orientations of the governments, and the relative size of the public sector, to assess the role of trade exposure on government spending in the American states. Using state-level data from the past three …
Assessing the Potential of Paradata and Other Auxiliary Data for Nonresponse Adjustments
Given the theoretical promise of these auxiliary data for overcoming the challenge of nonresponse, survey researchers have shown an increased interest in collecting paradata, data from screening interviews, and other contextual information. However, very few studies have systematically assessed the use of these data for post-survey nonresponse adjustments. Those studies that do exist generally do not identify auxiliary variables that correlate wi…
Trends--Americans' Interest and Enthusiasm in Election Campaigns
The degree of psychological engagement in political campaigns is a key factor influencing participation in U.S. elections. Unfortunately, no resources exist that offer comparable over time survey measures of campaign engagement in the electorate. Results from a diverse array of U.S. public opinion surveys administered from 1952 through 2010 are used to explore trends about interest in elections, attention to campaigns, and enthusiasm for the cand…

Government Monitoring and Political Participation in the United States
The past decade has spurred interest in the potential connection between U.S. government monitoring and political activity. Interestingly, these recent studies demonstrate that rather than chilling political activity, government monitoring in the United States positively associates with political engagement. This article seeks to determine why, for ordinary Americans, government monitoring positively relates to political participation. We argue t…
Political Conflict and Public Perceptions of Government Surveillance on the Internet
Despite the well-known theoretical and empirical connection between surveillance and individual behavior, research on political participation in the United States rarely incorporates government surveillance into individual-level empirical models. Using two experiments embedded in a nationally representative survey, this study assesses how the degree and target of conflict associated with political activities influences perceptions of online gover…
The Effect of Risk Perceptions on Online Political Participatory Decisions
Since the emergence of the Internet as an outlet for mass political participation, there has been considerable disagreement over whether political activities can be performed reliably and securely online. In this paper, we consider one aspect of this debate, assessing whether the general public perceives differential risk in participating in political activities occurring on the Internet and in those occurring in traditional media. Using a series…
Online Interactions and Social Capital
Some of the earliest and best-known theoretical work on the social implications of the Internet focus on interpersonal interactions with other users met online. However, in part because of the difficulty of measuring the level of interactions with others met online, generalizable empirical research on this topic remains limited. In this study, the authors develop a new approach to measuring the degree of online interactions with those not known o…
Privacy in the Information Age
In recent years, surveillance has become an increasingly salient political issue in the United States. In this article we present data on public opinion about privacy invasions and surveillance techniques since 1990. Generally speaking, the polls show that concern about threats to personal privacy has been growing in recent years. Although the public was temporarily willing to expand the government's investigative powers in the aftermath of the S…
A Comparison of Conventional and Internet Political Mobilization
The high cost of contacting individuals encourages mobilizing institutions to maximize resources by targeting those most likely to effectively respond, resulting in stimulation of the politically engaged, civically skilled, and socioeconomically advantaged. By dramatically reducing communication costs, the Internet should eliminate the underpinning of this “rational prospecting.” However, because most e-mail addresses are not available in public …
Selective Exposure to Online Foreign News during the Conflict with Iraq
Several observers note that particularly since September 11, 2001, U.S. residents increasingly have used online foreign news sites.Yet currently little is known about the prevalence or determinants of online foreign news usage. This study examines the online foreign news usage of a representative sample of Internet users during the conflict with Iraq. The results indicate that approximately one-fourth of Internet news consumers use foreign sites.…
Government Surveillance and Political Participation on the Internet
Although more is probably known about the causes of political participation than any other political behavior, the research program suffers in that it generally assumes citizens operate within an unproblematic surveillance context. This article argues that the growing use of the Internet for political participation and the government’s expanded electronic surveillance capacities make this assumption increasingly dubious. Drawing on Michel Foucaul…

Internet Data Collection
"Designed for researchers and students alike, the volume describes how to perform each stage of the data collection process on the Internet, including sampling, instrument design, and administration. Through the use of non-technical prose and illustrations, it details the options available, describes potential dangers in choosing them, and provides guidelines for sidestepping them. In doing so, though, it does not simply reiterate the practices o…

Assessing the Potential of Internet Political Participation in the United States
An emerging scholarly consensus asserts that patterns of Internet political participation will merely imitate the established patterns of participatory inequality in the United States. Because those from advantaged backgrounds access the medium at higher rates, the opportunities to participate via the Internet should disproportionately extend to high-resource individuals. I argue that the focus on access has important theoretical limitations. If …
An Assessment of the Generalizability of Internet Surveys
The Internet has become an increasingly popular form of data collection because it permits complex questionnaires to be administered more quickly, flexibly, and inexpensively than conventional survey methods. However, the Internet is restricted to individuals with access to computer networks. Thus, causal inferences to the general population from analyses of Internet samples necessarily rest on two untested assumptions: (a) that the decision-maki…
Moderating Backlash
In general, state public policy responds positively to increased electoral participation among social groups. However, consistent with the racial threat hypothesis, this pattern appears to reverse itself for African Americans: as blacks turn out in greater proportions they actually incur decreasing policy responsiveness. Another research tradition suggests that political parties play a crucial mediating role between interests and government. Thus…
