Do Citizens Perceive an empty Left-Authoritarian Quadrant? Citizen Perceptions of Parties’ Positions in a Multi-Dimensional Space
Given that there are few parties in the left-authoritarian quadrant of a two-dimensional ideological space, citizens that combine economically left and socioculturally conservative attitudes have been described as lacking representation. We do not know, however, whether left-authoritarian voters perceive this lack of representation themselves. We collect comparative data that include perceptual measures of parties’ positions across economic and s…
Do emotions drive the link between winning and satisfaction with democracy? Leveraging the Super Bowl, the World Cup, and The Lion King
Electoral winners are more satisfied with democracy than losers, but there is debate over whether this is due to emotions or policy considerations. In two quasi‐experiments, we exploit the outcomes of major football games, which exogenously separated people into winning and losing groups. As the games' outcomes have no bearing on governmental policy, any detected effects of victory and loss on satisfaction could be attributable to irrelevant emot…
Personal issue importance effects on voters’ perceptual accuracy of party issue positions
Expectations and Support for Quebec Sovereignty
This study uses panel data to examine the relationships among citizen attitudes related to Quebec independence. It has long been established that support for sovereignty is correlated to expectations about the economic and linguistic consequences of independence. Proponents of Quebec sovereignty tend to believe it will enhance the economy and preserve the French language, while opponents anticipate adverse effects on both fronts. We investigate w…
Losers’ Consent in a Deliberative Assembly
Obtaining losers’ consent after an election is often taken for granted in liberal democracies. However, it can pose a real challenge for any type of democratic decision-making in which participants hold conflicting views about the issues of the day. In this research note, we examine losers’ reactions to the votes taken in a citizen deliberative assembly. In such an assembly, much effort is devoted to informing the participants about the merits an…

Partisan attachments in a multidimensional space
How do party positions in a multidimensional space affect party identification? This article argues that when parties take consistent ideological positions across dimensions, they clarify their brand, fostering party identifications. An analysis that uses data from the European Social Survey and the Chapel Hill Expert Survey provides evidence for this argument. The results also indicate that the effect particularly holds for the less educated and…
Voir les savoirs. Lieux, objets et gestes de la science
« Les savants ont-ils un corps ? » Cette question posée dans le livre III de Voir les savoirs. Lieux, objets et gestes de la science rend compte d’un des objectifs majeurs de Jean-François Bert et Jérôme Lamy dans cet ouvrage ambitieux : analyser la manière dont l’être au monde des savants contribue à orienter leurs méthodes de travail et leurs découvertes. La démarche s’inscrit dans une double approche sociologique et historique (les deux discip…

Santé et environnement à l'âge prépastorien (xvie-xixe siècles)
The environmental history of health is rooted in a double tradition: medical representations from the Hippocratic corpus were revisited at different times; the geography and history of epidemics and ill health were developed from the middle of the 20th century within the context of an increasing globalization of exchanges and systemic fight against the most virulent diseases. On both sides of the Pasteurian medicine rupture, the change in the sci…

The psychophysiological correlates of cognitive dissonance
This preregistered study uses a combination of physiological measures to explore both the activation and reduction components of cognitive dissonance theory. More precisely, we use skin conductance to identify dissonance arousal, a short-term affective response to counter-attitudinal stimuli, and then use heart rate variability to measure dissonance reduction, which reflects longer-term patterns of emotional regulation and information processing.…

Negativity Biases and Political Ideology
There is a considerable body of work across the social sciences suggesting negativity biases in human attentiveness and decision-making. Recent research suggests that individual variation in negativity biases is correlated with political ideology: persons who have stronger physiological reactions to negative stimuli, this work argues, hold more conservative attitudes. However, such results have mostly been encountered in the United States. Does t…
Psychophysiology in the Study of Political Communication
The use of psychophysiological measures has been relatively common in the study of communication; there has been a recent increase in interest among political behavioralists as well. There has nevertheless been a limited body of work that uses psychophysiological measures to better understand the impact of political mass media content. This article presents the case for using psychophysiological measures to study political communication. Focusing…

Aménagement et environnement
Fréquemment assimilé aux politiques publiques qui ont accompagné la reconstruction postérieure à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'aménagement du territoire tel qu'on le concevait alors visait la modernisation du pays. Il était pensé comme facteur de progrès a priori et reposait sur une conception techniciste qui voyait dans des ingénieurs les seules autorités compétentes, excluant l'expérience des populations. Les nuisances et les bouleversements de…
Les Systèmes d’Aide au Vote peuvent-ils être utiles pour l’étude des élections
L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier si les Systèmes d’Aide au Vote (SAV) peuvent constituer un instrument de recherche fiable pour combler les deux grands objectifs des études électorales : à savoir (a) documenter la distribution des variables politiques d’intérêt et (b) établir les relations entre ces variables et les choix électoraux. Afin de répondre à cette question, les auteurs examinent, dans le cadre de l’élection provinciale québécois…
Do Women and Men Respond Differently to Negative News
This article offers a new approach to studying sex differences in responses to negative news, using real-time physiological responses as opposed to self-reports. Measurements of skin conductance and heart rate are used to examine whether there are differences in the extent to which women and men are aroused by and attentive to negative news stories. Like experiments that have relied on postexposure self-reports, we detect no sex differences in ar…
The Impact of News Photos on Support for Military Action
Drawing on two experiments embedded in online surveys, this article examines the impact of news photos on support for military action. In 2011, respondents were asked about support for ongoing military involvement in Afghanistan while being randomly exposed to one of two photos—one of a soldier with a child, the other of a soldier with a gun. The former photo increased expressed support for war; and the effect was greater for those who self-ident…
An experimental analysis of the impact of campaign polls on electoral information seeking
Riding the Orange Wave
The results of the 2011 Canadian federal election were surprising. What accounts for the dramatic and largely unexpected shift in electoral fortunes? Most importantly, what accounts for the sudden leap in popularity of the New Democratic Party, particularly in Quebec? The aftermath of election day produced no lack of potential explanations. Pundits, politicians, and political scientists have suggested many. This paper examines the empirical valid…

The Political Resocialization of Immigrants
Theories of political socialization contain competing expectations about immigrants' potential for political resocialization. Premigration beliefs and actions may be resistant to change, exposure to the new political system may facilitate adaptation, or immigrants may find ways to transfer beliefs and behaviors from one political system to another. This analysis empirically tests these three alternative theories of resocialization. The results in…

Back to the Future? Making Sense of the 2004 Canadian Election outside Quebec
This paper uses data from the 2004 Canadian Election Study to analyze the factors that motivated a vote for each party and to identify the ones that mattered most to the outcome of the 2004 federal election outside Quebec. Particular attention is given to the impact of the sponsorship scandal, the sources of support for the new Conservative party and the factors that explain the NDP's improved performance. The findings are used to address some ba…
Does low turnout matter? Evidence from the 2000 Canadian federal election
Information, visibility and elections
This article assesses the aggregate effect of information shortfall on the outcome of the last six Canadian elections. Building on Bartels' analysis, the authors find an information effect in three of the six elections examined, and in each case the information gap benefits the Liberal Party. That finding raises the question: why does information matter in some contexts but not in others? It is argued in this article that the information gap is r…

Party Location and Party Support
This article assesses the relative power of proximity and directional models in explaining party evaluation in 1993 and 1997 Canadian Election Study data. We first nest the competing models in an encompassing framework and then test the models under alternative representations of party location, where these alternatives lie at the heart of the debate. Fixing party locations at sample means favors directional outcomes, while allowing them to vary …

L'abstention sélective, ou pourquoi certains jeunes qui votent au fédéral boudent les élections municipales
Les études sur le comportement électoral au niveau municipal sont rares. Sont encore plus rares celles qui comparent les élections municipales avec celles d'un autre niveau. Cette recherche vise à combler ce vide, mais d'une manière particulière : nous nous intéressons aux gens qui choisissent de s'abstenir de façon sélective. Il s'agit donc de voir pourquoi certains votent lors des élections fédérales mais non lors des élections municipales, ou …
Deliberation from Within
This article examines whether a public opinion survey can improve the quality of political attitudes. More specifically, we argue that simply positioning a summary attitudinal question after a balanced series of relevant items can increase people's ability to answer in a way that better reflects their underlying interests, values, and predispositions. By manipulating the location of the vote preference question in two separate national election c…

Personal issue importance effects on voters’ perceptual accuracy of party issue positions
Japan's Multimember SNTV System and Strategic Voting
Since the early 1990s, Steven Reed and Gary Cox have changed our understanding of Japan's multimember SNTV electoral system, by highlighting its institutional effects similar to what is known as Duverger's law in the Anglo-American context. While we offer some additional evidence to consolidate their findings, we also address an issue left unexplored in these studies, namely the role of partisan information. Under Japan's system, party labels mat…

Japan's Multimember SNTV System and Strategic Voting
Five major claims are made in our paper on strategic voting within the context of Japan's multimember single non-transferable vote (SNTV) electoral system (Fournier and Kohno, 2000). Two claims deal with the reconciliation of Steven Reed's (1990) and Gary Cox's (1997) important work on extending Duverger's law to the Japanese case, and three claims deal with the informational effects of partisan labels on strategic voting

La ville au milieu des marais aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles
L’historiographie urbaine décrit une ville moderne rendue humide et malsaine par ses fossés et ses activités mais néglige les zones humides périphériques de nombreuses villes. Cet article entend montrer comment les marais périurbains ont été présentés par les médecins qui les considéraient comme un espace malsain, et comment ils ont été utilisés et exploités pour des raisons défensives mais aussi économiques: à l’élevage se sont ajoutées des cult…

When Citizens Decide
Three large-scale democratic experiments have taken place in which groups of randomly selected ordinary citizens were asked to independently design the next electoral system. The lessons drawn from the research are relevant for those interested in political participation, public opinion, deliberation, public policy, and democracy.
