本研究利用感知的投票结果和实际的投票行为来研究沉默螺旋理论。第一个主要假设——那些认为自己的立场获得支持的人更有可能进行讨论，而那些认为自己的立场失去支持的人则不太可能进行讨论——得到了数据的支持。还发现了对以下假设的一些支持：感知到对某个候选人的支持的个人更有可能表达对该候选人的偏好。结果似乎也证明了诺埃尔-诺伊曼对顽固抵抗者和其他类型公民之间的区别。还调查了意见判断的感知与自身偏好的相对独立性，并为这种差异找到了支持。
This study investigates the spiral of silence theory using perceived vote outcomes as well as actual vote behaviors. The first major hypothesis—that those who see their position as gaining support will be more likely to discuss while those who see their position as losing support will be less likely to discuss—was supported by the data. Some support was also found for the hypothesis that individuals perceiving support for a certain candidate would be more likely to express a preference for the candidate. Results also seemed to justify the Noelle-Neumann distinction between the resistant hardcore and other types of citizens. The relative independence of perception of opinion judgments from own preferences also was investigated and support was found for this difference.
