Replication Data for: When Common Identities Decrease Trust: An Experimental Study of Partisan Women
No full textHow does sharing a common gender identity affect the relationship between Democratic and Republican women? Social psychological work suggests that common ingroup identities unite competing factions. After closely examining the conditions upon which the Common Ingroup Identity Model depends, I argue that opposing partisans who share the superordinate identity of being a woman will not reduce their intergroup biases. Instead, I predict that raising the salience of their gender will increase cross-party biases. I support my hypotheses with a nationally representative survey of 3,000 adult women and two survey experiments, each with over 1000 adult women. These findings have direct implications for how women evaluate one another in contentious political settings and, more broadly, for our understanding of when we can and cannot rely upon common identities to bridge the partisan divide

Replication Data for: Partisan-Motivated Evaluations of Sexual Misconduct and the Mitigating Role of the #MeToo Movement
No full textWhen individuals evaluate something as serious as sexual misconduct allegations in politics, they are often motivated to defend their party—but outside forces can reduce these partisan biases. We bridge work from political psychology with studies of social movements to theorize how the #MeToo movement helps to mitigate partisan-motivated evaluations of sexual misconduct. With a two-wave survey experiment, we find that partisans are more likely to view out-party members guilty of sexual misconduct and that individuals less likely to reflect are particularly biased in their evaluations. We then turn to the #MeToo Movement and its potential to promote reflection. We show that support for #MeToo is associated with more even-handed evaluations of sexual misconduct in politics, particularly among those unlikely to reflect on their own. This study contributes to our broader understanding of how movements can induce reflection and moderate partisan-motivated reasoning among the mass public

POLITICAL SCIENCE: EMPHASIS ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS STUDYING THE SUPPORT FOR MORE DRASTIC NATIONAL SECURITY POLICIES BASED ON THE FEAR OF CITIZENS
No full textThe hypothesis of this study is that when citizens feel as if their families and/or countries are in danger, they will support more drastic National Security policies to ensure their safety. More specifically, citizens will support these measures when they feel a strong sense of national solidarity even if these policies are not considered “ethical” in the traditional sense of the word. In order to discover the ways in which citizens think about the implementation of more drastic National Security policies, these citizens must be in the most controlled environment possible, therefore an online survey was implemented. The independent variable was the threat citizens feel towards their respective country by outside forces. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups: the threat group, the nonthreat group, and the control group. Qualtrics uses a computer-generated randomization process to randomize the condition that each respondent receives. The threat group was shown a threatening newspaper article about ISIS, the non-threat was shown an article regarding a refugee family settling into a new country in a positive manner, and the control group was shown a completely arbitrary article. All three groups filled out the same survey, which was then analyzed

Perspectives of Educators and Legislators towards Arizona College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics Education
No full textThis essay examines the results of an undergraduate research project which consisted of interviewing two legislators and five teachers about the Arizona College and Career Ready Standards for mathematics education. The study focused on understanding how the populations interact especially in regards to their goals and measurement of success for the standards. Further, the project worked to summarize trends in the perspectives of both legislators and educators in order to compare those perspectives. This thesis works to satisfy the requirements to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with honors and, thus, focuses more on the nature of legislation than the content of math education. However, the essay does strive to suggest policy recommendations based upon teacher input, and examines the nature of how education policy is reformed

Effects of Information Source on Public Opinion: Gun Control & Affirmative Action
No full textPublic opinion and the various aspects that can influence opinion and therefore political behavior are invaluable resources in the American political system. The ways in which individuals perceive, process, and understand information is vital to how voters behave on Election Day, which is why understanding how individual opinion, and subsequently public opinion can be affected by information sources is essential. Understanding how to influence the perceived credibility of a particular source of information is a powerful tool in influencing public opinion and the democratic process. In order to gain a thorough understanding of some of the ways in which information sources can influence public opinion, a survey experiment was conducted in the Spring of 2015 at the University of Arizona to examine the effect of an author's demographic characteristics on his or her perceived credibility, and therefore, public opinion with regard to gun control and affirmative action

SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN POPULAR RAP MUSIC AND OTHER MEDIA
No full textThis paper examines the prevalence of sexual violence in American media with particular focus on attitudes of sexual violence as a contribution to rape culture. Included is a content analysis of the prevalence of sexually violent lyrics in popular rap music, and a literature review of articles and studies on the effects of sexually violent media. The media discussed in the literature review includes films, television, and pornography. The relationship between the presence of sexually violent media and its impact on public opinion on sexual assault and rape proclivity are analyzed. The literature reviewed includes studies on differences in response to sexually violent media based on gender. Also included are explanation and summary of a study utilizing the excitation transfer theory and the social learning theory as they apply to the understanding of the perpetuation of rape myth acceptance based in the viewing of sexually violent media. These studies utilize the rape myth acceptance scale, the acceptance of interpersonal violence scale, and the adversarial sexual beliefs scale, among other scales of measurement to assess rape myth acceptance and rape proclivity. The high prevalence of sexual assault in the United States calls for an analysis of the acceptance of beliefs that perpetuate sexual assault and the media which support and increase the presence of these beliefs
