Would You Like to Know More? Selection, Socialization, and the Political Attitudes of Military Veterans
Although an initial wave of research during the Vietnam War era suggested that the political attitudes of American veterans were not significantly different from those of the public at large, more recent studies argue that this may no longer be true. Thus far, however, the reason for this difference has gone unexplored: are veterans from the volunteer era different because a certain type of person is drawn to military life (selection), or are the…
Political Capital in the 21st Century
This article advances the study of presidential leadership by analyzing the circumstances under which Organizing for America/Organizing for Action (OFA) mobilized core supporters of President Barack Obama for policy purposes using digital tools and other resources developed for the president’s election campaign. I argue that the policy mobilization efforts of such presidential grassroots lobbying organizations (PGLOs) are constrained by electoral…
Measuring Elite Personality Using Speech
We apply recent advances in machine learning to measure Congressmember personality traits using floor speeches from 1996 to 2014. We also demonstrate the superiority of text-based measurement over survey-based measurement by showing that personality traits are correlated with survey response rates for members of Congress. Finally, we provide one empirical application showcasing the importance of personality on congressional behavior

Welcome to the Machine
Political scientists have long considered ideology, partisanship, and constituency in determining how members of the United States Congress make decisions. Meanwhile, psychologists have held that personality traits play central roles in decision making. Here, we bridge these literatures by offering a framework for modeling how personality influences legislative behavior. Drawing from experimental economics and neuropsychology, we identify core co…
Don’t Know What You Got
Individuals who are more sensitive to negative outcomes from error are more likely to provide nonresponses in surveys. We argue Neurotics’ sensitivity to negative outcomes leads them to avoid gathering costly information and forming/reporting opinions about stimuli. Using data from the 2014 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, we show Neuroticism is strongly and positively associated with NA/DK responses when placing politicians on a seven-p…
Are You Doing Your Part
Drawing from the concept of citizenship in the novel, Starship Troopers, we consider public opinion in a world in which 'service guarantees citizenship.' We do this by examining the political attitudes of US (volunteer) veterans-a group generally neglected in the public opinion literature-relative to the adult population at large. Using data from the 2006 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, we demonstrate that, as a group, veterans tend to …
The Development of Political Attitudes and Behaviour Among Young Adults
With young adults frequently characterised by distrust, inefficacy and disengagement from the political process, understanding how and when youth develop attitudes and participatory habits is increasingly important. With this in mind, the authors analyse nationwide surveys of American youths aged 18–24 from 2006 and 2007 with the goal of uncovering developmental patterns characteristic of this age. They find that political participation, narrowly…
