56. No Country for Old (White) Men, Part 1

Abstract

There is a general belief that political (partisan) animosity is fueled by a disagreement over values and preferences. But in the case of Black Lives Matter (BLM), it is unclear whether the disagreement is actually over 1) values, 2) interpretations of the meanings of the phrase or 3) what should be done in light of (agreed upon) meanings and values, or some combination of the three. We study BLM as a specific example of the potential sources of disagreement given the size and influence of the movement and because it led to a counter movement of All Lives Matter. Are these two movements entirely at odds with each other or is there common ground that is being overlooked due to differing interpretations of the labels, or the conflation of core principles with policy implications?

Abstract

This project addresses the question of how citizens evaluate the decisions of their representatives to reallocate revenues for public works projects. We present survey respondents with a short vignette about a city road project in which we experimentally manipulate the distribution of benefits in the city, as well as to the district of the respondent. We then as respondents to evaluate their representative, as well as the project.

74. "The Generalizability of Online Experiments Conducted During The COVID-19 Pandemic" – CORRIGENDUM.

Abstract

The replication archive (available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/38UTBF) has been updated so that the code used to generate Figures 2-3 in Peyton, Coppock and Huber ([2]) now produces the correct versions shown here in Figures 1-2. In the course of running computational reproducibility checks for Peyton, Huber and Coppock ([3]), the Yale ISPS Data Archive identified mistakes concerning the number of statistically significant differences reported for comparisons made between pre-COVID experiments and our replications. In Figure 1, we present the original version of Figure 2 from Peyton, Huber and Coppock ([3]) in the top panel (1a) and the correction in the bottom panel (1b). [Extracted from the article]

82. Can Raising the Stakes of Election Outcomes Increase Participation? Results from a Large-Scale Field Experiment in Local Elections

Author

Huber, Gregory A., Gerber, Alan S., Biggers, Daniel R., Hendry, David James, Huber, Gregory A., Gerber, Alan S., Biggers, Daniel R., and Hendry, David James

Abstract

Political campaigns frequently emphasize the material stakes at play in election outcomes to motivate participation. However, field-experimental academic work has given greater attention to other aspects of voters' decisions to participate despite theoretical models of turnout and substantial observational work signaling that a contest's perceived importance affects the propensity to vote. We identify two classes of treatments that may increase the material incentive to participate and test these messages in a large-scale placebo-controlled field experiment in which approximately 24,500 treatment letters were delivered during Connecticut's 2013 municipal elections. We find some evidence that these messages are effective in increasing participation, as well as that some of them may be more effective than typical nonpartisan get-out-The-vote appeals. While these results remain somewhat preliminary, our findings have important implications for our understanding of how voters decide whether to participate and how best to mobilize citizens who would otherwise sit out elections.

83. Voting behavior is unaffected by subtle linguistic cues: evidence from a psychologically authentic replication.

Author

GERBER, ALAN S., HUBER, GREGORY A., and FANG, ALBERT H.

Abstract

Do small wording differences in message-based behavioral interventions have outsized effects on behavior? An influential initial study, examining this question in the domain of political behavior using two small-scale field experiments, argues that subtle linguistic cues in voter mobilization messages describing someone as a voter (noun) instead of one who votes (verb) dramatically increases turnout rates by activating a person's social identity as a voter. Two subsequent large-scale replication field experiments challenged this claim, finding no effect even in electorally competitive settings. However, these experiments may not have reproduced the psychological context needed to motivate behavioral change because they did not occur in highly competitive and highly salient electoral contexts. Addressing this major criticism, we conduct a large-scale, preregistered replication field experiment in the 2016 presidential election. We find no evidence that noun wording increases turnout compared to verb wording in this highly salient electoral context, even in competitive states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
