Why did America vote as it did on Election Day? The core mission of the American National Election Study (ANES) is to inform explanations of election outcomes by providing data that support rich hypothesis testing, maximize methodological excellence, measure many variables, and promote comparisons across people, contexts and time. The ANES serves this mission by providing researchers with a view of the political world through the eyex of ordinary citizens. Such data are critical, because these citizens' actions determine election outcomes.This research continues the ANES mission for the next four years, but in new and better ways than before. It builds on an ANES history that has mde the project a valuable resource to generations of social scientists. As has been true for past presidential election in the ANES times series, a presidential year pre- and post-election study will be conducted using face-to-face interviewing of a nationally representative sample of adults. This study will include questions specific to the election of 2012 and also questions that augment the ANES time series, which is now in its sixth decade. In addition, scholars will be able to add questions onto the instrument through competitions in the Online Commons, which was an innovation of the previous ANES award.Like previous ANES awards, this project continues to provide innovations in the data collection process as well as the study of substantive subjects. With regards to the former, a parallel internet based survey will done in conjunction with the face-to-face time series. This will allow for a mode comparison between the two methods. With regards to the latter, project will conduct additional phone and internet based surveys during the midterm election period and the primary season leading up to the presidential election. The specifics of these studies will be determined by an array of scholars.By generating large multifaceted datasets of high quality, the ANES will equip researchers to learn new and important lessons about the world of politics. These data will be distributed widely and quickly to serve thousands of scholars and to be used in classrooms around the world to enrich research and education. The ANES will help to inform the nation about itself, exploring the causes and consequences of voting behavior andelectoral outcomes. With such knowledge, the policy will be better equipped to nurture and refine its system of government.

为什么美国人会像选举日那样投票呢？美国全国选举研究（ANES）的核心任务是通过提供支持丰富假设检验的数据，最大限度地提高方法的卓越性，测量许多变量，并促进跨人员，背景和时间的比较，为选举结果的解释提供信息。ANES通过通过普通公民的视角为研究人员提供政治世界的视角，从而履行了这一使命。这些数据至关重要，因为这些公民的行为决定了选举结果。这项研究将在未来四年继续进行ANES任务，但采用了比以前更好的新方法。它建立在ANES历史的基础上，使该项目成为几代社会科学家的宝贵资源。就像过去的总统选举在ANES时间序列中一样，总统年选举前后的研究将通过对具有全国代表性的成年人样本进行面对面访谈来进行。这项研究将包括2012年大选的具体问题，以及增加ANES时间序列的问题，该序列现已进入第六个十年。此外，学者们将能够通过在线共享的竞赛将问题添加到仪器上，这是以前的ANES奖项的创新之处。与以往的ANES奖项一样，该项目继续在数据收集过程和实质性主题的研究方面提供创新。关于前者，一项平行的基于互联网的调查将与面对面的时间序列相结合。这将允许在两种方法之间进行模式比较。就后者而言，该项目将在中期选举期间和总统选举前的初选期间进行额外的电话和网络调查。这些研究的具体内容将由一系列学者决定。通过生成高质量的大型多面数据集，ANES将使研究人员能够学习有关政治世界的新的重要课程。这些数据将广泛而迅速地分发给成千上万的学者，并在世界各地的课堂上使用，以丰富研究和教育。ANES将帮助国家了解自身，探索投票行为和选举结果的原因和后果。有了这些知识，该政策将更好地培育和完善其政府体系。
