Good governance can promote vaccination intention even among conspiracy believers: An analysis of survey data from four countries
An analysis of 2021 data from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the United States reveals that citizens’ conspiracy beliefs undermine their intention to vaccinate against COVID-19, whereas their positive evaluations of governmental countermeasures promote it. Importantly, among respondents with the most negative evaluations, those with the strongest beliefs in conspiracy theories are significantly less willing to get vaccinated than those who do no…
Does vote buying undermine confidence in ballot secrecy? Theory and experimental evidence
Why does vote buying persist under the secret ballot? We argue initiating vote-buying transactions allows politicians to undermine voter confidence in the secret ballot, and thus to induce voter compliance. Our analysis consists of three parts. First, we present evidence from a survey experiment in Mexico that shows receiving material goods from a candidate diminishes voter confidence in ballot integrity. Next, we introduce an informational theor…
The impact of the 2018 North Korea–United States summit on South Koreans’ altruism toward and trust in North Korean refugees
To verify whether a common superordinate identity promotes intergroup social capital, we analyze survey data from three cross-sectional surveys conducted in South Korea one week before, two days after, and six months after the 2018 North Korea–United States summit in Singapore. A comparison of responses from the first and second surveys reveals that the summit positively changed South Korean natives’ altruism toward and trust in North Korean refu…

Responsiveness to requests for constituency service: A field experiment on local councilors in South Korea
Legislators' responsiveness to citizens constitutes a crucial element of democracy. Nevertheless, previous studies conducted in established democracies found that only about half of legislators respond to requests for constituency service and that they are more responsive to certain groups of citizens than others. To address such limitations, we conducted a field experiment in South Korea and found that only 12% of local councilors are responsive…

The impacts of ideological polarization among political elites on citizens’ attitudes toward opposing-party supporters via an affective channel
Recent studies have reported that the ideological polarization of party elites induces citizens' affective polarization toward parties in the United States, while others have found that American citizens' affective polarization strengthens their biased attitudes toward opposing-party supporters. This study tests the implication of the literature that affective polarization mediates between the ideological polarization of party elites and biased a…

Mobile phone users as pseudo-brokers in clientelism: Evidence from Africa
Despite a vast literature on clientelism, the impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) on clientelistic exchanges remains understudied. In order to fill that gap, we examine whether politicians disproportionately direct private transfers to mobile phone users, who can easily share persuasive messages with their communication partners and thus provide cascading benefits. Analyzing data from the fifth wave of the Afrobarometer surv…

Public attitudes toward immigration policies in South Korea
This paper examines whether economic or socio-psychological concerns determine anti-immigration attitudes in South Korea, in an effort to address regional asymmetries in existing immigration studies. An analysis reveals that labour market competition and fiscal burden concerns do not affect anti-immigration attitudes, but xenophobia, the conceptual views of citizenship, and the expectation of the impact of immigration on the national economy dete…
Building Cooperation among Groups in Conflict: An Experiment on Intersectarian Cooperation in Lebanon
Societies divided along ethnic or religious lines suffer from persistent conflict and underprovision of public goods. Scholarly understanding of how to strengthen intergroup cooperation remains limited. In this study, we set out to test the effectiveness of two interventions on intergroup cooperation: cross‐group expert appeal and participation in a cross‐group discussion. The laboratory‐in‐the‐field experiment is set in Lebanon's capital, Beirut…
Why do the poor oppose income redistribution? An empirical test on the impacts of nationalism and fatalism
We study the poor’s psychological motivations to oppose income redistribution, relying on social identity and system justification theories. We find that national identification reduces differences between the poor and the rich in terms of attitudes toward income redistribution and self-esteem, by discouraging the poor from supporting redistribution but encouraging them to acquire greater self-esteem. Next, fatalism reduces and increases differen…
Trust, Economic Development and Attitudes toward Immigration
We examine (1) how trust in foreigners and trust in political institutions affect attitudes toward immigration and (2) the moderating effect of economic development on those impacts, analyzing data from the fifth wave of the World Values Survey. We find that natives who trust foreigners are more tolerant toward immigration and that economic development positively moderates the impact of trust in foreigners on the attitudes. Meanwhile, we find onl…
I can’t do it if you’re watching” monitoring and reciprocity in clientelism
This study experimentally examines whether or not a private transfer can induce a voter to change an electoral choice based on reciprocity. It also explores whether or not the reciprocal effects of providing a private transfer vary according to the scope and quality of monitoring technologies. The study finds that reciprocity operates under both turnout monitoring and vote choice monitoring. It also finds that the effects of reciprocity are great…
