The 2024 American National Election Studies (ANES)

2024年美国全国选举研究（ANES）将发生在美国政治充满不确定性和变化的时刻。公众对长期存在的政治规范存在分歧，这些规范涉及行政权力、选举合法性、法治和社会规范，如公共卫生关切与个人自由的适当平衡。 自1948年以来，ANES一直是衡量民意和了解美国投票行为的黄金标准。2024年ANES保持了无党派，科学有效的调查传统，同时增加了尖端的创新。ANES调查中的新问题和现有问题使研究人员能够了解政治不满的来源，解释民选官员与公众之间的误解，并确定弥合该国政治和社会分歧的机会。2024年ANES延续了ANES在选举前和选举后进行采访的传统，产生了几个新的数据产品，包括ANES时间序列中的第一个八年面板，跨越2016年，2020年和2024年选举周期。该数据集使研究人员能够在极端波动时期的舆论动态，错误信息的传播，对政治暴力的支持，情感极化，种族冲突以及对我们选举机构合法性的威胁等主题上开辟新天地。2024年的研究还提供了一个跨越2020年，2022年和2024年的社交媒体研究小组，通过将受访者的态度与行为数据相结合，提供有关社交媒体上新闻使用和政治广告的选举后果的数据。与一般社会调查和选举制度的比较研究正在进行的合作产生了社会学，经济学，政治传播，比较政治学和国际关系学者感兴趣的新数据集。 方法上的创新包括无响应的后续研究，新的仪器探测对民主的关键威胁，视频采访，并使用混合模式设计，以产生进一步的见解调查模式effects.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The 2024 American National Election Study (ANES) will occur at a moment of great uncertainty and change in American politics. The public is divided over long-standing political norms involving executive power, electoral legitimacy, the rule of law, and societal norms such as the proper balance of public health concerns with individual freedoms. Since 1948, the ANES has been the gold standard for measuring public opinion and understanding voting behavior in the United States. The 2024 ANES maintains the tradition of a nonpartisan, scientifically valid survey while adding cutting-edge innovations. New and existing questions on the ANES survey allow researchers to understand the sources of political discontent, explain misunderstandings between elected officials the public, and identify opportunities for bridging the country's political and social divisions.The 2024 ANES continues the ANES tradition of administering both pre- and post-election interviews, producing several new data products including the first-ever eight-year panel in the ANES time series, spanning the 2016, 2020, and 2024 election cycles. This data set allows researchers to break fresh ground on topics including opinion dynamics during a period of extreme volatility, the spread of misinformation, support for political violence, affective polarization, racial conflict, and threats to the legitimacy of our electoral institutions. The 2024 study also delivers a Social Media Study panel spanning 2020, 2022, and 2024, providing data on the electoral consequences of news use and political advertising on social media by merging respondent attitudes to behavioral data. Ongoing collaborations with General Social Survey and the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems yield new datasets of interest to scholars in sociology, economics, political communication, comparative politics, and international relations. Methodological innovations include a non-response follow-up study, new instrumentation probing critical threats to democracy, video interviewing, and the use of a mixed-mode design to yield further insights about survey mode effects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
