Replication Data for: Risk and Reform: Explaining Support for Constitutional Convention Referendums
No full textScholars of comparative constitutionalism and direct democracy agree
that economic conditions affect public support for constitutional reform
but disagree as to how. Prospect theory suggests both approaches may
be correct, depending on the political and economic context in which
voters operate. Fourteen states periodically ask their citizens whether to
call a state constitutional convention, making this the oldest form of
direct democracy in the United States. We test our theory in preelection polls in two of these states and a survey experiment. The
results indicate negative perceptions of economic and government
performance increase support for conventions when voters view them as
opportunities to correct problems. On the other hand, if a convention
represents a chance to improve on an acceptable status quo, voters with
positive performance evaluations become more supportive. Our findings
contribute to the heuristics literature and inform normative debates over
direct democracy and popular constitutionalism

Replication Data for "Epistemic Confidence Conditions the Effectiveness of Corrective Cues Against Political Misperceptions"
No full textThis dataset provides all materials necessary for replication of the research article entitled "Epistemic Confidence Conditions the Effectiveness of Corrective Cues Against Political Misperceptions," published in the journal Research & Politics in 2022
Misperceptions are much harder to correct in people who know less than they think they do about politics.
No full textThe rise of political misinformation has become an important topic, as it can influence electoral outcomes. But correcting misinformation is complicated and often difficult. In new research, Ian G. Anson examines the link between people’s confidence and their own political beliefs and the ability to correct them. He finds that the more overconfident someone is about what they believe, the more likely they are to resist correction with accurate information

No full textAsk a Republican and a Democrat if they think that economy is getting better or worse, and you are likely to get two different answers.
