The hypothesis that when members of a legislature deal successfully with political demands emanating from their constituencies, such activities will result in relatively high levels of support for both the legislator and the legislative institution, is tested and supported in a laboratory setting. The accessibility and capability of the legislature compared to other political institutions are identified as factors that influence the degree to which legislators will be successful in dealing with constituent demands. Data from small samples of citizens from seven Asian countries are used to generate measures of support and an indirect measure of the likelihood of legislative success in dealing with demands
