项目摘要
This Doctoral Dissertation Research Support project examines how voters learn about the candidates and issues in presidential nomination campaigns. Presidential nomination campaigns are difficult environments for voters, except for the in party when a sitting president is seeking reelection. This is true because it nearly always begins as a low information race and the contextual environment that faces citizens is a difficult one because of the intraparty nature of the contest and the multiple numbers of candidates competing. However, because the race is sequential and lasts over a period of months, voters have a tremendous opportunity to learn about the candidates through the events and activities of candidates, reports by the media, and the decisions of primary voters and caucus goers. While technically each state campaign is a state contest for the sole purpose of delegate selection, the state campaigns have been nationalized making state events opportunities for candidates to earn national and local media coverage, create a voter support base across states and raise needed campaign funds. As candidates become more known through their activities, media reports and election outcomes individual level attitudes and preferences change. While information may vary across states, based upon the level of campaign action in the state, and between interested and uninterested individuals, information does accrue and does impact both preferences and attitudes about the candidates. Information, therefore, about winners and losers and more substantive information about candidates' traits and policies, helps future voters determine the viability and electability of candidates, weeding out candidates who are the weakest alternatives.In this research the Ph. D. student focuses on how potential nomination voters respond to the campaign as it unfolds, considering the contextual environment that voters find themselves in (hard fought or low key sate contests) and the attributes of individuals, especially their level of political sophistication, that makes potential voters more or less likely to receive and accept new political information. The key questions center around how information matters to voters and when and which voters acquire and react to information. Information comes from the intensity of the campaign at the state and national level. For this dissertation the student focuses on three key dependent variables: knowledge about the candidates, candidate choice or candidate preference and political engagement. To address questions related to voter learning the research design consists of a rolling panel and cross-sectional survey design that captures attitude development as it changes in response to the context of the campaign. In addition, the research program collects a vast amount of contextual data on candidate behavior, media coverage and macro campaign conditions. The design and data collection allows the student to connect the activities of candidates, the media and macro campaign conditions with individuals and interact that information with individual level measures of political sophistication. By examining the contextual environment she will be able to assess what, when and which voters learn about the candidates and how that knowledge assists them in making more informed decisions. The project has the potential for broader impact because it will assist in graduate and undergraduate training and provide a resource for future studies of presidential nomination campaigns, the importance of voter context and the value of contextual data in understanding individual level attitudes and behavior.
这个博士论文研究支持项目探讨选民如何了解总统候选人提名活动中的候选人和问题。总统提名竞选对选民来说是一个艰难的环境,除了现任总统寻求连任时的党内竞选。这是真的,因为它几乎总是开始作为一个低信息的比赛和上下文环境,面临的公民是一个困难的,因为党内性质的竞争和多个候选人的竞争。然而,由于竞选是连续的,持续数月,选民有很大的机会通过候选人的事件和活动,媒体的报道以及初选选民和核心小组成员的决定来了解候选人。虽然从技术上讲,每个州的竞选活动都是一个州的竞选,其唯一目的是选择代表,但州的竞选活动已经国有化,使候选人有机会赢得国家和地方媒体的报道,在各州建立选民支持基础,并筹集所需的竞选资金。随着候选人通过他们的活动、媒体报道和选举结果变得更加知名,个人层面的态度和偏好发生了变化。虽然各州的信息可能会有所不同,但基于该州的竞选活动水平,以及感兴趣和不感兴趣的个人之间的信息,信息确实会积累并影响对候选人的偏好和态度。因此,关于赢家和输家的信息,以及关于候选人特征和政策的更多实质性信息,有助于未来的选民确定候选人的可行性和可当选性,淘汰那些最弱的候选人。学生关注的是潜在的提名选民如何在竞选活动展开时做出反应,考虑选民发现自己所处的背景环境(激烈或低调的州际竞争)和个人的属性,特别是他们的政治复杂程度,这使得潜在选民或多或少地可能接收和接受新的政治信息。 关键问题围绕着信息对选民的重要性以及选民何时以及哪些人获得信息并对信息作出反应。信息来自州和国家一级运动的强度。在这篇论文中,学生关注三个关键的因变量:候选人的知识,候选人选择或候选人偏好和政治参与。 为了解决与选民学习相关的问题,研究设计包括一个滚动面板和横截面调查设计,捕捉态度的发展,因为它在响应运动的背景下变化。此外,该研究项目还收集了大量关于候选人行为、媒体报道和宏观竞选条件的背景数据。设计和数据收集允许学生将候选人的活动,媒体和宏观竞选条件与个人联系起来,并将这些信息与政治复杂性的个人水平措施进行交互。通过研究背景环境,她将能够评估选民对候选人了解了什么、什么时候以及哪些信息,以及这些信息如何帮助他们做出更明智的决定。该项目有可能产生更广泛的影响,因为它将有助于研究生和本科生的培训,并为未来的总统候选人提名活动的研究提供资源,选民背景的重要性和背景数据在理解个人层面的态度和行为的价值。
