The Party-Line Pandemic: A Closer Look at the Partisan Response to Covid-19
The response to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States has shown that even a serious public health crisis cannot escape the lens of partisanship. The literature shows that most Republicans have viewed the coronavirus as less serious than their Democratic counterparts. This study demonstrates that this partisan gap extends to the real behavior of the public during, and after, the coronavirus state lockdowns. Using location data from mobile …
Ideological Realignment and the Primacy of Symbolic Ideology
Over the last several decades, scholars have noted a strengthening link between ideology and party identification among the public, but the causal direction of this phenomenon remains contested. The ideological realignment thesis holds that ideology now strongly influences party identification, but this position conflicts with literature suggesting that party identification remains the primary causal force behind most important political attitude…
The Changing Face of Unions and White Labor Support for the Democratic Party
This manuscript examines the political behavior of White union members, with a focus on the differences between private sector and public sector union members. In the last several decades, private sector union membership has drastically declined, but public sector union membership has greatly increased. This has transformed the White unionized workforce from a group composed primarily of non-professional men with no college education to one that …
Democratic Responsiveness and Policy Shock: The Case of State Abortion Policy
Past research has shown that elected officials are generally responsive to the public's attitudes on policy, particularly in domains such as morality policy. But will this responsiveness survive an externally imposed, non-incremental policy “shock”? The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade represents such a shock regarding abortion policy. We examine the responsiveness of state lawmakers to mass abortion attitudes in the post-Roe period t…
Postmaterialism and Post-Industrialism: Cultural Influences on Female Representation in State Legislatures
In the last 30 years, female state legislative representation in the United States has increased steadily and dramatically. While the cross-sectional variation in this representation has been studied at length, longitudinal changes have yet to be explained. We attempt to do this using two theories of large-scale cultural and political attitude change over the last several decades—postmaterialism and post-industrialism. Our empirical analyses are …
Response to Matsusaka: Estimating the Effect of Ballot Initiatives on Policy Responsiveness
Individual attributes and leadership style: Predicting the use of punishment and its effects
This study examined attributes of leaders that influenced their use of contingent and noncontingent punishment and the results of using punishment on leader effectiveness. Results indicated that leaders with higher levels of physical fitness and moral reasoning were more likely to use contingent punishment, while those with lower self-esteem were more likely to use noncontingent punishment. Noncontingent punishment negatively impacted leader effe…
Preferences, Fiscal Policies, and the Initiative Process
Several recent articles have examined whether those American states that use the initiative process demonstrate a stronger link between citizen preferences and public policies than those states that do not use this process. This study extends the work of Lascher, Hagen, and Rochlin (1996) and Gerber (1996a) by examining the effect of the initiative process on the connection between preferences and the taxing and spending policies of the states. T…
