Doctoral Dissertation Research in Political Science: Citizen Reactions to Political Disagreement

虽然政治学家已经研究了公民在其社交网络中对政治分歧的反应，但只有少数人试图实证调查公民对公共政治分歧的反应。这项研究使用了一项全国代表性的网络调查，调查了1000多名公民，以研究公民对政治分歧的反应如何影响选民投票率和政治参与。这个项目解决了一个在研究民主和知情公民的影响方面至关重要的问题。这项研究将扩大和加深我们对公民如何经历政治参与的理解。

While political scientists have studied citizens' reactions to political disagreement in their social networks, there have been only a handful of attempts to empirically investigate how citizens react to public political disagreements. This research uses a nationally representative Web survey over 1000 citizens, to examine how citizens' reactions to political disagreement affect voter turnout and political participation.This project tackles a question of central importance in the study of democracy and the implications of an informed citizenry. This research will expand and deepen our understanding of how citizens experience political engagement.
