▼ This study analysed the determinants of participation in voting and electoral choices by citizens, and established the relationship between national presidential elections and the performance of the economy in Ghana's Fourth Republican era from 1992 to 2016. The study proceeds within the theoretical framework of political economy which looks at the interplay between economics and politics using macro-micro approach. The study conceptualised political economy as an approach focusing on the application of economic tools of analysis to the study of economy and electoral behaviour within the multi-party democratic framework of Ghana‟s Fourth Republic.
The study utilises macro-level data (secondary district-level data) to establish the determinants of voter participation, impairment of voter participation through the incidence of spoilt ballots, and actual voter choices using the 2000 and 2012 national presidential elections results synchronised with the 2000 and 2010 population and housing censuses respectively, and involving all 216 districts. The study also analysed the determinants of voter participation and electoral choices based on micro-level data (survey data) from a random sample of 600 respondents in four electorally-swing districts in the Brong Ahafo and Central regions to examine several hypotheses concerning electoral behaviour within the multi-party democratic framework where ethnicity was not a dominant factor influencing voter choice in order to unravel the other key factors influencing voter choices beyond the ethnicity factor.
Based on the macro-level and district-level data, the analysis of the determinants of voting participation revealed that the locality factor (urban-rural) was a significant factor. However, the results were mixed with increasing urban share of the population in a district leading to increasing turnout rate of voters for the 2000 Presidential election, while the opposite result held for the 2012 Presidential election. Voter turnout tended to decrease with increasing proportion of age dependency ratio in a district. This suggested that districts with higher age dependency ratios tended to participate less in voting, a plausible outcome which also suggested that increasing poverty burden discouraged participation in voting. Voter turnout tended to increase with increasing proportion of Asantes in a district in Ghana and decreased with increasing proportion of Ewes in a district in the 2012 Presidential election; but did not produce clear results for the 2000 election. On spoilt ballots, the study found that for both 2000 and 2012 Presidential elections, the relative intensity of spoilt ballots was its literacy level with increasing levels linked with reduced spoilt ballots. Also, the regression analysis of voter choices for both the 2012 and 2000 national presidential elections clearly showed that ethnicity, with regards to these two dominant groups in Ghana, was a major determinant of electoral outcomes. Asantes and Ewes vote largely on ethnic lines for the respective parties…

▼ Positional issues are
political issues that generate disagreement among citizens and divide the electorate. Voting theories conventionally assume that positional issues have little effect on how individuals vote and that parties have little incentive to develop issue-based electoral strategies. Such a characterization of electoral dynamics is particularly prevalent in Canada. An enduring view holds that Canadian parties engage in "brokerage politics" wherein they avoid taking clear policy stances in order to avoid alienating segments of a fragmented electorate.This thesis challenges the conventional characterization of Canadian electoral dynamics by revisiting the role and impact of positional issues on electoral strategy. First, the results show that once measure- ment accuracy is improved and the heterogeneity of issue effects is taken into consideration, positional issues have non-negligible effects on individual vote choice. Second, the thesis demonstrates that the
behaviour of Canadian
political parties does not fully correspond to the brokerage party model. Parties can and do engage in
behaviour prescribed by
political marketing theory, to which positional issues are central. Positional issues are at the core of an exchange between citizens who care about a small set of issues and
political parties who target these citizens using micro-campaigns. Ultimately, this thesis shows that
political parties can use positional issues to increase their room for electoral manoeuvre.

▼ International organizations are ubiquitous in the
international system and often intervene in domestic political
affairs. Interventions can occur because states do not have
adequate infrastructure to govern, because a political regime seeks
international legitimation of its rule, or because an intervention
may prevent political crisis. Whatever the reason, there are
consequences of such interventions for domestic society. This
project asks how interventions sanctioned by international
organizations affect individual political involvement, specifically
attitudes toward democracy and democratic institutions. I theorize
and empirically demonstrate that when an international intervention
reinforces existing democratic institutions in a state, individual
levels of confidence in democracy and levels of trust in democratic
institutions improve. By contrast, when an intervention undermines
existing democratic institutions, levels of confidence in democracy
and trust in democratic institutions decrease. This research is
important because it shows that the determinants of individual
political engagement are not only domestic, but also affected by
international-level phenomena. This means that international
organizations and the interventions they regularly employ in states
can meaningfully affect the prospects for democratic
consolidation.

▼ The intersection of race, justice and politics create a vicious cycle in the U.S. Those most affected by disparities in the current system are the least likely to participate in politics, while those relatively unaffected are often unlikely to acknowledge the issue as one in need of
political solutions. This dissertation makes four contributions to this larger concern. First, using court data paired with voting records, it provides further evidence that contact with the police decreases turnout. By examining how the size of this effect varies based on characteristics of the individuals and their experiences, it also sheds light on the potential mechanisms behind this effect. Second, it offers a holistic framework for thinking about how dispositions, experience, and vicarious information shape attitudes about the criminal justice system. Third, it applies this framework in the analysis of two survey experiments demonstrating broadly that perceptions of injustice vary markedly by race and specifically showing how people unlikely to experience discrimination personally are unlikely to perceive bias in the specific interactions with the police, regardless of their beliefs about the general fairness of the police. Finally, with survey data and a unique experiment, it shows that vicarious exposure to minority experiences with the police may facilitate a common understanding of the racial issues facing the criminal justice system.

▼ Transformations in the media environment affect citizens' political knowledge and participation. The internet has changed the media environment dramatically in the past 15 years, and the web has become a significant source of political information for Americans. Many scholars studying the web and its impact on politics argue that because the internet enables Americans to retrieve news that can be ideologically tailored to fit their political preferences, the web causes a more polarized public, more partisan elections, and may impede deliberation, and overall has a negative effect of representative democracy. I disagree. Using panel survey data and an experimental design, I examine whether the same underlying mechanisms that allow citizens to sort themselves into highly customized information worlds also enable members of historically disadvantaged groups to more efficiently access information that pertains specifically to them and to their groups' political goals, thereby providing important political knowledge gains and improving the representativeness of American democracy. The three main research objectives of this dissertation are: (1) To examine whether race and ethnicity influence selective exposure to political information online; (2) To research how selective exposure affects voters' knowledge of candidates' policy positions; (3) To test the impact of a high-choice and diverse media environment on political polarization and the quality of the vote choice.

▼ Previous studies of minority political behavior have demonstrated that empowerment, as measured by the election of a minority person to public office, has positive effects on participation among the members of the minority community. Although the empowerment theory has yet to be applied to American Indians, it shows much promise in explaining participation rates among this minority group because of the theory’s emphasis on political context; and attitudinal factors. This dissertation explored the role of empowerment on American Indian participation, first by comparing turnout prior to empowerment to turnout post empowerment in three counties in the West: San Juan County, Utah; Big Horn County, Montana; and Roosevelt County, Montana. The findings indicate that turnout among Indians after empowerment, as defined by an Indian holding elected office, was higher than turnout prior to empowerment because of the positive effect of empowerment on perceptions and attitudes among American Indians. The election of an Indian to county office was a major context;ual change in each of the three counties, and the change had a positive impact on voter participation among Indians by influencing perceptions of government and attitudes of American Indians. Furthermore, the positive effect of empowerment on American Indian voters is both immediate and long-lasting. The positive effect on American Indian political behavior is evident immediately after empowerment, that is, Indians vote at higher rates in the first election following empowerment than prior to empowerment. Turnout continues to increase over time for American Indians, in contrast to non-Indian populations, indicating the long-lasting, positive effects of empowerment on Indian political behavior.

▼ As the importance of the European Union increases in the world, through the expansion of the members, further integration, and numerous other factors, there is still a question about whether or not parties represent the voters’ and, more specifically, party supporters’ views on the issue of the European Union. Looking at fifteen EU member nations, and making use of the European Manifesto Project’s data and the Eurobarometer surveys, the results are mixed. On average, there is not enough evidence that the national governing parties are responding to the average preference of their supporters. However, the opposition parties are found to be reacting to their supporters’ preferences. This has implications for the literature of the European Union, dynamic representation, sub-constituency representation, and the behavior of
political parties in government versus those in opposition, because the results show that parties in opposition are addressing the preferences of their party supporters, while the parties in government do not appear to be responsive. Therefore, parties cannot be treated in the same manner.

▼ This study offers a theory in which nationalism is not only conducive to war -which is the conventional wisdom-, but also brings peace to entire groupings of states under a specific set of conditions. After the theory is laid out, a plausibility probe of 19th century Europe offers good justification for a continued research program of nationalism-as-technology and its effects.
The theory's insight comes from seeing nationalism not as an ideology, but as a form of military technology. For such technologies, their effect on war depends on how widely all countries employ them. When everyone has the same technology (i.e. when all countries are similarly endowed with nationalism), peace is cemented because countries mutually deter each other from launching wars of conquest. They do this by building mass armies to offset that of their neighbors, and threaten would-be conquerors with costly guerrilla wars and insurgencies. (Conversely, if only a few states possess the technology, the temptation to abuse it in conflict does rise.) The theoretical section of this study first justifies this analytical possibility of seeing nationalism as a technology. Among other things, the absence of definitional stumbling blocks is discussed. That is, given how technology is broadly defined by leading technologists, there is nothing inherent in the concept of nationalism that prevents its consideration as a technology. The study then proceeds to derive a series of hypotheses about the curvilinear effects of nationalism on war across a given region.
As mentioned, the primary case study is 19th century Europe (1815-1914), which lends itself to a plausibility probe. The results are corroborating. Napoleonic France first "discovered" nationalism as a technology with military applications - it formed the first mass armies and attempted continental conquest. Later on, other "early-adopters" also employed nationalism to take land from their neighbors. Sardinia, for instance, used Italian nationalism to build volunteer armies and fight Austria for control of northern Italy in 1859. But the early adopters were then followed by most other European countries, which took reins of their own nationalisms to build mass-armies and boost their defenses. In line with the theory, the widespread adoption of nationalism preceded two whole generations of European peace, from 1871 to 1914. (So rare was this long peace that it would not be equaled until after World War II.) In sum, the history of the 1800s seems to fit broadly with the theory, and gives good reason for continued research into the pacifying role of nationalism.

▼ When do voters consider candidates for elected office to be corrupt? If corruption is strongly disfavored by voters, why do corrupt candidates remain popular and keep get-ting reelected? These questions are of great importance for a number of reasons. First, understanding how voters perceive candidate corruption can be predictive in determining electoral outcomes. When evaluating candidates accused of impropriety, success in the voting booth for these candidates can be an indicator of prevailing social norms to-ward corruption. Second, having an empirical foundation for how the public perceives corruption can also serve as an important basis for designing interventions to change such norms, including campaign finance reform and anti-corruption laws. Third, under-standing regional differences in voter perceptions of candidates can lead toward building theories explaining variation in toleration of candidate corruption. Finally, uncovering divergence in how courts, laws, and the public define corruption has implications for the legitimacy of democratic institutions and electoral accountability.The first chapter analyzes how voters conceptualize the corruption of political candidates, and offers explanatory and predictive frameworks that include the most important variables that factor into the voter’s decision and predict individual voting behavior when a candidate accused of corruption is up for election. The second chapter, co-authored with F. Daniel Hidalgo and Yuri Kasahara, tests the causal effect of informing voters of corruption on voting behavior with a field and survey experiment in a mayoral election. The experiments show voters’ varied responses to corruption information and argues for a novel mechanism that explains the results. The final chapter examines a number of mechanisms that explain why voters support or punish corrupt politicians, raising new research questions for scholars to consider in future research.

▼ This dissertation argues that identity is often used in the
political world as a heuristic for predicting one's own future income. This use of group incomes as a heuristic for personal interest leads to a close connection between group identities and support for redistributive policies. Whether such policies have positive or negative effects on an individual's material well-being depends on that person's future income, so members of richer groups - who, all else equal, have higher future incomes - are less supportive of redistributive policies. The dissertation then goes on to test this argument in four distinct contexts, each focused on ethnic and regional identities. First, it shows that this heuristic theory is consistent with survey results in a global sample. Next, it shows a similar level of consistency with results from European surveys. It then focuses on the United Kingdom, examining regional and ethnic identities using both panel data and a survey experiment. Finally, it uses surveys in Slovakia and the Czech Republic to provide further support for heuristic theory.

▼ This thesis considers theoretically the institutional nature of culture and its strength as a determinant of
political behavior in Southwest Virginia. Beginning with a description of the geography of Southwest Virginia and the demographics of the region's inhabitants, the thesis proceeds to outline the cultural nuances of the region that make it ripe for misunderstanding by the outside world when attempting to explain the cognitive dissonance between voting behavior and regional needs. Then the thesis explores how the culture of the region serves as its own institution that protects itself from outside forces. This phenomenon is explained through an outline of the man-made institutions which have been forged to ensure long-term
political power that itself protects the institution of regional culture. Further evidence is presented through voting and demographic data that solidifies the role of culture in determining
political behavior.

▼ This dissertation explores the potential impacts of personality – as operationalized by the Big Five framework – on the preferences and behavior of state legislators. Within the study of American politics, scholars generally study the values, attitudes, and behaviors of the mass public or the characteristics and behaviors of
political elites and the institutions in which they reside. Within both strains of research, we have developed an extraordinary understanding of how the
political environment influences individual
political thought and behavior.
In recent years, scholars of the mass public have undertaken renewed efforts to study the role biological and resulting psychological predispositions play in shaping
political behavior. As the acceptance of the Big Five framework in psychology has increased,
political science has seen a resurgence of work investigating the effects of personality on
political values, attitudes, and behaviors. Scholars have generally studied these streams – the environment and more individually-based biological and psychological factors – separately. Furthermore, while researchers have recently undertaken a great deal of work on how biology and personality affect values, attitudes, and behaviors at the mass level, they have largely failed to undertake similar attempts in studies of elite
political behavior.
In this dissertation, I develop a framework for placing the personality characteristics of state legislators into a broader institutional context. I argue personality traits serve as stable, biologically-based dispositions, and I demonstrate empirically personality does indeed influence the behavior of state legislators above and beyond existing institutional explanations. I argue personality plays an important role in shaping which activities legislators prefer to engage, the amount of time legislators dedicate to those particular activities, the number of introductions and cosponsored measures to which legislators attach their names, the legislative success of legislators, and the pattern of campaign fundraising legislators undertake.
Rather than focusing solely on environmental explanations for engaging in activities such as introductions and cosponsorship or participating on committees, I argue for a more nuanced understanding of what motivates legislators to engage in legislative activities. Although factors such as constituency and party pressure certainly play significant roles in determining how legislators allocate their time in office, I believe individuals’ personalities also affect whether and how often legislators put forth effort within the institution. In addition to bringing new insight regarding the antecedents of legislative politics, this dissertation helps to demonstrate the benefit of incorporating key concepts from
political psychology in the study of elite
political behavior.

▼ It is generally accepted that the youth are overall
apathetic towards
political activities and that such apathy is
evidenced in low voter turnout during elections. Such conventional
wisdom seems to be based mainly on findings in Western democracies
and generates concern as to the future nature and resilience of
democracy. When a significantly large proportion of the voting
population shows apathetic attitudes towards the processes that
enable participation of the public in democracy, it questions the
extent to which a democracy can be consolidated. In the past the
South African youth played an important role in the process of
transformation to democracy and thereby possibly left a legacy of
youth involvement. However, in the developing world, which includes
South Africa, the youth seems to show the same sort of abstaining
behaviour as their Western counterparts towards elections. This is
problematic as the South African youth comprises a significantly
large proportion of the voting population. This dissertation
focuses on South African university youth and their
political and
voting
behaviour. They have been chosen for the focus of this study
as they are widely considered to be the future elite and leadership
of South Africa. The aim of this study is to determine the extent
to which Western scholarly explanations of youth voting
behaviour
can be applied to South African university youth. Western
literature on voting
behaviour identifies various models of voting
behaviour (which comprise the Sociological Model, Michigan Model,
Party Identification Model, Media/Dominant Ideology Model and
Rational Choice Model) and age effects on voting
behaviour (Cohort
Effect, Individual Ageing Effect and Life Cycle Effect). Each of
these seeks to explain voting
behaviour and in order to determine
how applicable they are to South African university youth, an
analytical framework was developed in order to analyse and
interpret the data gathered by means of questionnaires and focus
group discussions. Ultimately it was found that most Western models
and age effects are to some extent applicable in explaining the
voting
behaviour of South African university youth (albeit to a
greater or lesser extent).

▼ In a democratic polity it is a pre-requisite to

independent position on political questions of all ingredients
newlinethat constitute democracy, information is a key component
for choosing a newlinegovernment. Elections go a long way in making
democracy successful. The present newlinestudy intends to explore
the impact of political communication on voting behavior : newlineA
Comparative study in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. newlineWith
the main objective in mind the researcher has selected two
prominent newlinemedia, newspaper and television for the purpose of
the study to know the kind of newlinepolitical communication
disseminated through newspapers and television channels newlineof
these three states. The researcher has scanned the content of
newspapers and newlinetelevision channels of Karnataka, Kerala and
Tamilnadu over a period of 18 months. newlineConsidering the
political content of newspapers and television channels in three
newlinestates the researcher has prepared three different
questionnaire and with that the newlineresearcher has conducted a
survey among the voters of Karnataka, Kerala and newlineTamilnadu.
From Karnataka and Kerala a random sample of 385 samples and from
newlineTamilnadu 380 samples were selected giving adequate
representation to all newlinesegments of the society. Thus the data
obtained through the survey in the Karnataka, newlineKerala and
Tamilnadu is scientifically analysed for inference and
interpretation. The newlinefindings indicated that media do have
impact on the voting behavior of the voters in newlineKarnataka,
Kerala and Tamilnadu. It is found that mass media especially the
newlinepolitical communication through newspapers and television
channels do have impact newlineon voting behavior of the people of
Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. The highest newlinerating of the
media impact figured with Karnataka. It can be attributed to the
newlinescientific use of the media by the Karnataka politicians for
political propaganda or it newlinemay be due to credibility of the
media in Karnataka.

▼ The study examined the extent to which proactive personality, political skills and creativity
predicted entrepreneurial intentions among National Service Personnel in Accra. Using cross-
sectional survey design, three hundred and twenty three (323) respondents were conveniently
sampled for the study. Participants responded to a questionnaire comprising various demographic
measures such as, gender, parental occupation, marital status, religion and role model as well as
measures of proactive personality, creativity, political skills and entrepreneurial intentions.
Hierarchical multiple regression, Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient, moderated
mediation analysis and independent t-test were used to analyse the hypotheses. The results
indicate that there is a significant positive association between proactive personality and political
skills. In addition, proactive personality accounts for more variance in predicting entrepreneurial
intentions as compared to political skills and creativity. It was further observed that political
skills partially mediate the association between proactive personality and entrepreneurial
intentions. Furthermore, a low level of creativity had a stronger effect on the mediated
relationship between proactive personality and entrepreneurial intentions through political skills.
Moreover, there was no difference between males and females on entrepreneurial intentions. The
implications of the findings were discussed against the backdrop of theory of planned behaviour,
entrepreneurial event theory as well as other related studies and culturally relevant factors.

▼ W latach osiemdziesiątych XX w. kibuce w Izraelu znalazły się w poważnym kryzysie zarówno pod względem ekonomicznym jak i demograficznym, który zagroził utrzymaniem tych wspólnotowych kooperatyw. Niemożność rozwiązania kryzysu ruchu kibucowego w oparciu o dotychczasowe doświadczenia, doprowadziła do otwarcia się kooperatyw na rozwiązania, które można było zaadoptować z gospodarki rynkowej. Efektywność mierzona poprzez reguły wolnorynkowe oraz komercjalizacja zaczęły mieć wpływ na zmianę modelu wyborczych zachować mieszkańców kibuców w wyborach do Knesetu. Celem pracy jest ukazanie zmieniającej się tożsamości politycznej, a co za tym idzie, preferencji wyborczych mieszkańców kibuców.
Należy podkreślić, że nowe reguły funkcjonowania kibuców wpłynęły na zmianę określenia jednostki w kategoriach społecznych i politycznych. Dawna, zbiorowa społeczna reprezentacja kibuca, która miała tak wyjątkowy charakter, została osłabiona na rzecz tworzącego się systemu wartości, w którym jednostka znajduje się w centrum. Skutkiem ubocznym tego procesu jest wypieranie lewicowych ugrupowań przez partie centrowe, jako bardziej odpowiadające społecznej tożsamości mieszkańców kibuców.
Aby zobrazować zachodzące zmiany w politycznej tożsamości, zostały wybrane trzy kibuce znajdujące się w różnych stadium przemian społeczno-gospodarczym. Badania ankietowe zostały przeprowadzone w Kibbutz Deganya A, Kibbutz Mizra i Kibbutz Ein Dor. Przedmiotem badań było nie tylko wskazanie grupy w kibucu i zidentyfikowanie zmiany tożsamości politycznej, ale przede wszystkim zbadanie w jaki sposób można ją ukazać za pomocą nowej wiedzy społecznej. Teoretyczne rozważania opierają się modelu społecznej reprezentacji (Moscovici, 1984), w którym kładzie się nacisk na społeczną wiedzę jako źródło zachowania jednostki. Innowacyjną metodą zaproponowaną w badaniach jest możliwość wyjaśnienia społecznych koncepcji wynikających z określonej tożsamości politycznej i w ten sposób wypływającej na preferencje wyborcze jednostki.
Dodatkowo rezultatem badań jest wskazanie na sporą różnicę w percepcji rzeczywistości społecznej i politycznej pomiędzy dwiema grupami wiekowymi. W przeciwieństwie do starszej generacji, młodsi reprezentanci kibuców opowiadają się neoliberalnym modelem społecznej reprezentacji i w ten sposób określają siebie i polityczny system. Partie lewicowe i ich programy uznawane są przez nich za nieefektywne i odbiegające od współczesnych realiów.

▼ Americans' abilities to vote for candidates who represent their policy views has important implications for their representation in government. However, while policy voting theoretically requires knowing where candidates stand on major policy issues (i.e., "campaign knowledge"), it is most typically studied in relation of what people know about civics (i.e., "civic knowledge"). I advance prior research by considering how Americans acquire campaign knowledge, and whether or not this information helps voters select candidates who share their policy preferences. I theorize that policy-focused political ad exposure provides most people with campaign knowledge – especially those who are the least politically engaged. Americans in turn use this information, more so than civic knowledge, to vote for candidates whose issue stances match their own. Merging campaign advertising data from the Wesleyan Media Project into nationally representative cross-sectional and longitudinal opinion data, I find consistent support for both sets of expectations. I conclude by discussing the informational benefits of policy-focused advertising, and considering the impact of changing media and campaign dynamics on Americans' knowledge about politics.

▼ The central issue in this study is
political socialisation and its implications within a rural setting in South Africa with a particular focus on Calais village in Limpopo Province. The aim of the study is to determine how adult residents of Calais village, are politically socialised; and furthermore to assess the impact of the socialisation process on the residents’
political behaviour within a democratic South Africa.
In order to achieve the research purpose, face-to-face interviews were conducted with forty (40) adult residents in Calais village. The study revealed that the respondents were politically socialised by the media, immediate family, peers, extended family,
political parties, local municipality, school, traditional leadership, ward committee and religious institutions. The media were the most important agent, while the religious institutions were the least. Furthermore, NGOs and trade unions were not socialisation agents in Calais village.
The socialisation process had an impact on the respondents’
political behaviour in terms of
political interest, party identification,
political beliefs, efficacy, knowledge, awareness and participation.

▼ Why do individuals engage in
political economy egocentrically at some times and sociotropically at others? I claim that human beings will be more likely to demonstrate attitudes and behaviors that are in their own self-interest when in private, and those that are in the interests of others when in public. A survey of the research in mass
political economy shows a major divide over whether individuals are selfish actors or hold strong motivations to benefit the collective. While there is merit to both of these approaches, neither is a panacea. Furthermore, I demonstrate that conflicting findings in existing research need not be concerning. These broad divisions in this literature mirror those within our brains. Natural selection has endowed our minds with strong capacities to behave both egocentrically and sociotropically. The real challenge becomes explaining what causes each of these parts of us to become active. This project is about how observability changes
political behavior in predictable ways. Using data from multiple surveys across 23 countries, I am able to demonstrate the importance of social context across a diverse set of outcomes in
political economy. First, while retrospective assessments of national economic conditions exert a strong and significant effect on candidate selection in public, they largely fail to do so in private. In the absence of others, individuals are more likely to reward and punish candidates based on their personal financial situation. Second, while individuals egocentrically update their attitudes of welfare policies when in private, they largely fail to do so in the added presence of an interviewer. Finally, in a unique online experiment of
political donating behavior, I show that publishing respondent decisions in newspapers and on social media increases the propensity for individuals to benefit the country at costs to themselves. These findings hold major implications for how we participate in politics and the broader democratic process.

The Paradox of Persuasion: Interpersonal Influence in Everyday Conversation.

▼ Political scientists have been using individuals’ self-reported efforts to try to influence the votes of others as one indicator of political activism for more than a half-century. However, in spite of this widespread use, very little is known about the motivations of interpersonal persuasion. This dissertation examines why some people try to influence the votes of others during the course of their everyday political conversations, while others are content to discuss politics without trying to persuade. Although attempts to persuade are often treated as a form of campaign participation with a goal of influencing the outcome of the election, I find that the motivations for persuasion are more internal and interpersonal than are the motivations for other forms of campaign involvement. I argue that interpersonal persuasion should be treated as a form of discursive participation, with consequences for our understanding of public opinion and deliberation.I use three large-scale survey datasets to examine interpersonal persuasion as a distinct form of political participation: the 2012 American National Election Studies (Ch. 3), the Youth-Parent Political Socialization Panel (Ch. 4), and the 2008 National Annenberg Election Studies Phone Survey (Ch. 5). Each dataset has distinct advantages in design and content that allow for examination of particular features of the motivations of persuasion. Using a variety of statistical methods and data sources, the overall argument is that attempts at persuasion have relatively little to do with campaigns and elections, and much more to do with individual orientations towards politics and social norms about political discussion. In particular, I find that organizational membership and campaign mobilization efforts do not provide the driving force for attempts to persuade that characterize other forms of political activity. Additionally, persuasive behavior does not ebb and flow in expected ways relative to the campaign cycle or the competitiveness of races. Rather, internal (but not external) efficacy, political capital (e.g., political interest, attention to political news), and exposure to disagreement and attempts to persuade by other social contacts are highly predictive of persuasive behavior. Persuasive behavior also declines over the life cycle, unlike many other forms of participation, and it is not a stepping stone to other more costly or time-intensive forms of participation. Therefore, persuasive behavior is equally or better understood within a framework of discursive participation, where it is a mechanism for people to develop their political identities, form political opinions, and process political events within the context of their social networks.

▼ The difficulties arising from using statistical significance to demonstrate the truth and utility of a hypothesis have been known for some time (Cohen 1994). To develop a more rigorous conception of substantive significance, a new means of determining substantive significance is presented, and a new technique for its implementation is demonstrated. The predictive approach, as differentiated from the explanatory approach (in which significance testing is grounded), concentrates on best determining the value of observations that a given model has not yet seen (Shmueli 2010). The technique for implementation, the best subset in validation algorithm (or BeSIVa), attempts to make the best prediction possible using all available observations. Dividing observations into two separate datasets, training data used for modeling and test data which determines the quality of models at making predictions, BeSiVa tries to best predict predict a dependent variable using a randomly selected test set. BeSiVa is applied to an old question, the choice to vote, as well as two new ones: innumeracy on the proportion of minorities in the United States (Alba, Rumbaut, and Marotz 2005) and support for Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential run. When 656 variables from the GSS were provided to determine if the algorithm regularly selected theoretically relevant independent variables to model turnout, BeSiVa selected a theoretically relevant predictor, voting in the last presidential election, each time. Then, a smaller selection of variables that had been theoretically verified as related to turnout in the 2000 presidential election were then provided. From these variables, BeSiVa clearly favored sociological and psychological theories of turnout over the more recent mobilization theory. Having demonstrated how BeSiVa selected relevant independent variables when analyzing turnout, it was applied to newer questions. Innumeracy's theoretical origins were extended, showing how religious identification and financial satisfaction predicted an individual's ability to estimate minority proportions. BeSiVa also suggested origins for President Trump's support, grounding it in racial resentment, feelings on President Obama, and concerns about security and immigration. The algorithm's tendency to make theoretically grounded models, even when irrelevant independent variables were provided demonstrates its capability at making useful predictive models with relevant predictors.

▼ Political communication scholars have long been interested in why people seek out the media content they do. Media choice is a complex decision influenced by a multitude of factors; and linking media consumption and behavior is difficult in regions without detailed information about individual media diets and consumption patterns. Yet those same areas are where scholars know the least about the link between media and
political engagement. This dissertation endeavors to fill that void in research, using a method more efficient than traditional content analysis. With a focus on Latin America, my study is one of the few large-N comparative studies of media and politics within comparative politics.
I posit that the public uses media reputation, the accumulation of years of interactions between the press and government, as a cue about the independence of any medium. I contend that media reputation, earned over time, acts as a signal about how close a media entity is to government, thereby guiding consumers interested in news outside the mainstream toward media that promote ideas that challenge the status quo. I expect that consumers of media that criticize the status quo will be more likely to engage in activities to change the status quo.
To show this, I draw on the work of others across a variety of disciplines—including history, communications, anthropology, economics, sociology, media studies, journalism studies, area studies and ethnography—to categorize how media in different countries are both similar and different in reputation or relationship with government. I present a detailed classification scheme for institutional status quo bias that acts as a work-around for some of the language and scope problems associated with content analysis, which is most commonly used to link media consumption and
political behavior.
I then look for associations between consumption of different media and
political behavior. Using data from the World Values Survey, AmericasBarometer and original data collected for this dissertation, I show that more frequent consumption of media with less status quo bias is associated with increased
political participation. This is especially true for consumption of Internet news in Latin America.

▼ Political stories are a common, yet to date, underexplored feature of elite discourse. Politicians tell stories to illustrate the stakes of public policy issues and the purpose of government programs. Journalists tell stories to help audiences understand complex social and
political issues. Individuals often repeat these stories to friends, family and coworkers. Stories are everywhere. However, scholarly work has primarily focused on the effect of thematic
political frames on decision-making. These frames describe the stakes of policy issues and problems and temporarily alter the “facts” at the top of individuals’ minds when they express their policy preferences.
Political stories, on the other hand, provide a chronological account of events that include characters.
Drawing on work by communication and psychology scholars, I argue
political stories should have a distinct effect on
political beliefs and behavior relative to thematic
political frames. In my study, I find evidence in support of my hypothesis that
political stories may increase the cognitive resources that individuals are willing to devote to processing opposing arguments. I also find these individuals were more likely to write reactions to policy proposals after reading a
political story. Finally, I find that individuals who read a
political story were more likely to blame the government for the predicament facing story characters.
My main findings are of great relevance to politics in light of work that suggests that one of the greatest obstacles to a fully participatory democracy is capturing citizens’ attention. Stories seem to be a tool for increasing attention. This finding, together with the effect of
political stories on blame attributions, suggest that as individuals become more willing to devote their attention to this information, they may also become more likely to hold government officials accountable for social problems, which is an essential component of a healthy democracy.

▼ Mindre än hälften av svenska väljare uppger att de har stort förtroende för politiker. Kvantitativa data har legat till grund för tidigare forskning som sett samband mellan politikerförtroende och en mängd demografiska variabler. Kvalitativa studier inom ämnet saknas. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skäl till att deltagare som haft förtroende för politiker tappat förtroendet i den utsträckningen att de inte röstat alternativt röstat blankt i 2018 års riksdagsval. Totalt intervjuades 9 män och 6 kvinnor med varierande ålder (25-63) och utbildningsnivå. Materialet analyserades tematiskt och följande teman identifierades: Politiker har låg trovärdighet, Missnöjd med systemet, Saknar partiidentifikation och En oacceptabel nivå. Deltagare gav ofta specifika exempel på situationer som lett till tappat politikerförtroende. Förtroende har åtminstone delvis tappats då deltagare inte anser att politiker är ärliga och att politiker inte lever upp till deltagarnas förväntningar. Fortsatta studier inom området rekommenderas för att ge en helhetsbild över tappat politikerförtroende.

▼ In social science research, methodology matters. Seemingly arcane issues of measurement are not trivial but can have profound influences on how we view the social world. This thesis seeks to fill methodological gaps that have opened up as new research techniques become available. This thesis consists of five chapters covering three projects. The first project analyses whether Google Trends data can be used as proxies for issue salience. A methodology for validating Google Trends data against survey data is developed, with searches validated in the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain. The dangers of not testing the validity and reliability of Internet derived data is discussed. The second project examines the translation equivalence of survey instruments into different languages by using corpus linguistic on Internet corpora in 10 languages. Using these corpora, dissimilarity measures are constructed, allowing clusters of meaning to be identifed quantitatively and examined qualitatively. This method is illustrated using a postmaterialism item from the World Values Survey. This item is found to suffer from important translation problems, as the translations of the word ideas have clearly nonequivalent meanings across languages. These differences predict the item's correlations with other variables within the World Values Survey. The third project looks at the role of information processing within the US State Department's foreign policy analysis using social network analysis (SNA). First, the predictors of information flow are identifed, showing diplomats focus most strongly on trade. Next, a new type of relational event model is developed to account for specifc communication features communication within this bureaucracy: a relational event conversation history actor initiated network model (RECHAIN). Using this model, we fnd the importance of trade is set by the Bureaus, with Embassies adopting this agenda against their preferences. Finally, we examine the evidence behind different mechanisms of communication agenda setting.

▼ Despite the wishful thinking about the ultimate victory of liberal democracy and capitalism after the fall of communism, the post-communist world only partly democratised. While the transition from communism to liberal democracy was relatively smooth, as in the countries of Central Eastern Europe, the transition in the Western Balkans, that is, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia, was far more difficult for a number of reasons including armed conflicts. This thesis seeks to better understand how people's attitudes affect the consolidation of liberal democracy in the Western Balkans. The main question this dissertation asks is whether the citizens of the Western Balkans can embrace liberal democracy as the most desirable
political regime at this stage of the region's development. More specifically, it asks whether a ‘typical authoritarian mentality’ is an obstacle to democratic consolidation. So as to answer these questions a fieldwork research was conducted in Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia during 2008/09 with the main goal of determining the levels of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation in general population. The analysis revealed that some psychological attitudes indeed play a significant role in determining citizens’
political behaviour, where the perception of threatening socio-
political environment was identified as the main influence of citizens’ authoritarianism levels. The threatening socio-
political environment, which could be anything from high unemployment, to
political instability to armed conflicts, affects poor institutional efficacy which forces ordinary people to turn to their in-groups in search for safety and protection. This thesis argues that the Western Balkans ordinary people's attitudes are incompatible with the requirements of liberal democracy. While people high in right-wing authoritarianism are more likely to embrace illiberal options, people low in social dominance orientation are less likely to fight for their rights and freedoms. Therefore, both groups are easy to manipulate for undemocratic goals. This study concludes by proposing that similar interdisciplinary studies, aimed at determining the people's dominant attitudes, can help us prevent problems that have the capacity to escalate to armed conflicts in the future.

▼ Conventional wisdom suggests that parties adjust their ideological positioning to gain vote share. However, recent findings indicate that voters only alter their perceptions of party policy positions based on information they find credible. I extend these findings by testing whether citizens change their opinions toward a
political party in response to information produced during a campaign. Using data from two German Election Panel Studies covering 2002-2013, I demonstrate that partisans change their opinions toward their party based on information produced during the campaign. Moreover, I demonstrate that partisans are more likely to utilize information produced in campaigns than nonpartisans to form their perceptions of a party's ideological positioning. These findings have important implications for party election strategies and for
political representation

▼ For the past decade, the increasing interests in the importance of innovation has been emerged. As the economy and environment rapidly change, "innovation" is the term has not be ignored. However, there is relatively little research for this topic under the bureaucratic organization of the government. Because effective government is considered that need to depend on successful innovation to develop better ways of meeting needs and using resources in recent years. In addition, employeesâ innovative behavior is considered to be an important assets that organization achieve remarkable success in dynamic environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is focus on the relationship between supervisorsâ innovative behavior and employeesâ innovative behavior, trying to understand the impact of supervisorsâ innovative behavior toward employeesâ innovative behavior. And this study further explores whether employeesâ trust in their supervisor and supervisorâ
political skill moderate the relationship between supervisorsâ and employeesâ innovative behavior or not. The result show that supervisorsâ innovative behavior is positively related to employeesâ innovative behavior. Furthermore, the results also indicate that employeesâ trust in their supervisor and supervisorâ
political skill have the moderating effect. In the end, the theoretical and managerial implications have also been discussed.
