Assessing the Stability of Trust in Government Across Election Periods
Objective Past research shows that electoral context prompts changes in political trust. In the United States, data limitations confine this literature to status‐quo affirming presidential elections. We extend previous research to unexamined contexts: elections with partisan presidential changes, midterm elections with shifts in congressional control, and nonelection periods. Method Original panel data from 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012 are us…
Small to Mid-Size Sporting Events: Are We Prepared to Recover from an Attack
This article describes a fictional deadly attack by a lone-wolf terrorist during a high school football event in a small town, here in the United States. The authors begin by describing an attack and then focus on the response from the medical community, city, county, state, and federal government officials. Next, the authors make several recommendations on what actions are needed to develop an effective plan to combat terrorist activities during…

Opinion Taking within Friendship Networks
Communication within friendship networks can provide gains in efficiency that help individuals enrich their understanding of politics. Through two panel survey experiments, we demonstrate that the dissemination of an individual's opinion about the hazards posed by public policies can have both durable and significant effects on the policy judgments of friends. These effects are conditioned by both the content of the communication and the recipien…
Increasing Distrust of the USA in South Korea
The purpose of this article is two-pronged. First, it seeks to identify the factors that seem to lower trust in the USA among South Koreans. These factors weaken the traditionally solid Korea-USA alliance and have led a US expert to call South Korea a “runaway ally.” Second, this article empirically tests various explanations of trust using a nationwide survey of South Koreans conducted in 2005. This article employs multiple regression analysis t…
The Question of Committee Bias Revisited
This study revisits the question of whether committees are biased in their policy outputs—pursuing policies at odds with noncommittee members. We find evidence that committees in the House are biased: Most committees are either more divided than the larger membership in the House, or there is a greater consensus within the committee than among noncommittee members. These patterns extend across all types of committees

Why Do We Trust Our Congressman
This analysis focuses on the little examined area of trust in political officials, in specific, constituents' trust in their U.S. House member. Employing new measures of trust in incumbent representatives, a confirmatory factor analysis is used to assure that the measures of constituents' trust are reliable. Then a structural model of constituents' trust is analyzed using LISREL. The findings indicate that constituents' trust is directly influenc…
Correlates and Effects of Attention to District by U. S. House Members
Causes and consequences of district attentiveness are analyzed using data coded from the travel vouchers filed by members with the clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. Members' year of election and the divergence of conservatives from their low-status districts consistently affected the amount of time spent in their districts in the 92d, 93d, and 94th Congresses. Members running for higher office traveled more in the 93d and 94th Congresse…

Factions in Committees: The U.S. House of Representatives
This study undertakes a major reanalysis of the decision-making processes in eight committees of the U.S. House of Representatives–Agriculture, Education and Labor, Interior and Insular Affairs, International Relations, Interstate and Foreign Commerce, Post Office and Civil Service, Public Works and Ways and Means. While past studies have relied mainly on interviews, this study uses a data base composed of recorded committee roll-call votes. The …
