The power of the leader: Party approval and institutional trust
Unprecedented in American politics, several Republican US Representatives, supported by former President Trump, led a motion in the House to remove the Speaker, providing an ideal case for understanding a strong leader’s control over the party base, conflation with the party brand, and ramifications for the health of the US party system. Leveraging this unique event, we conducted an original survey experiment of registered Republican voters to an…
Voter habituation and opinion activation in misreporting voting behavior in the 2020 presidential election
Pre-election surveys are commonly used to predict turnout and vote choice, but anticipating who votes is challenging. Often survey respondents do not truthfully report their behavior and specifically overreport socially desirable actions like voting. In this study, we analyze factors influencing misreporting voting and vote method in a pre-election web survey of registered voters in the 2020 presidential election. More specifically, we test how v…
Indoor Nature Contact: The Efficacy of a Nature Contact Intervention Inside the Home on Perceived Stress And Mood Among Women
Past findings suggest that spending time outdoors facilitates recovery from mental fatigue and reduces stress. Indoor nature contact, or bringing elements of the outdoors inside, has also been shown to reduce stress and promote health in the workplace and clinical settings. This experimental study examined an understudied form of indoor nature contact—flowers—in a priority environment, the home. A sample of 170 women (ages 18–65) completed stress…
A Second Chance in the Sunshine State: Religious Identity and Voter Support for Re-Enfranchisement in Florida
Research has shown religion to be an important predictor of attitudes toward state punishment, yet religious identity has rarely been included in studies of public opinion toward felon disenfranchisement. In November 2018, voters in Florida passed Amendment 4, the 'Voting Rights Restoration for Felons Initiative,' to re-enfranchise Floridians who have completed all the terms of their felony sentences, excluding those convicted of murder or sexual…

Defying the Rally During Covid‐19 Pandemic: A Regression Discontinuity Approach
Objective: Do people set aside their partisan differences and rally around elected officials during a pandemic? President Trump's delegation of responsibility to the states during the COVID-19 pandemic placed governors on the frontlines of the battle; some have shined and garnered positive national attention, others have wilted under the pressure of the national spotlight. Methods: We use regression discontinuity design and exploit a discontinuit…
Parties Without Brands? Evidence from California's 1878–79 Constitutional Convention
Why do legislative parties emerge in democracies where elections are contested by individual candidates, rather than national party organizations? And can parties survive in the absence electoral pressure for their members to work on shared political goals? In this article, we examine the emergence and maintenance of party discipline in an atypical legislative context: California's 1878–79 constitutional convention. The unusual partisan alignment…
Campaigns and the Mitigation of Framing Effects on Voting Behavior: A Natural and Field Experiment
Mobilizing Latino Voters: The Impact of Language and Co-Ethnic Policy Leadership
Building on evidence that Latino voters participate at higher rates when co-ethnic candidates appear on the ballot, we report the results from a field experiment examining whether co-ethnic policy leadership can produce similar mobilization in direct democracy elections. The study features a direct-mail campaign conducted during California’s 2010 statewide primary election aimed at mobilizing Latino voters. The experiment included variation in th…
