  • Genopolitics and the Science of Genetics
    American Political Science Review Page 1 of 14 May 2013 doi:10.1017/S0003055413000099 Genopolitics and the Science of Genetics EVAN CHARNEY Duke University WILLIAM ENGLISH Harvard University nanearlierarticlewechallengedthefindingsofFowlerandDawes(FD)thattwogenespredictvoter turnout as part of a more general critique of “genopolitics.” FD now acknowledge that their finding I of a “significant” direct association between MAOA and voting was incorrect, but claim to have replicated their finding of an “indirect” association between 5HTT, self-reported church attendance, and self-reported voting. We show that this finding is likely driven by population stratification and omitted variable bias. We then explain why, from the standpoints of genetics, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, genopolitics is a fundamentally misguided undertaking; we also respond to FD’s charge that some of our previous statements concerning genetics are “highly misleading,” “extremely disingenuous,” and “even incorrect.” We show that their criticisms demonstrate a lack of awareness of some basic principles in genetics and of discoveries in molecular genetics over the past 50 years. ewouldliketothanktheeditorsofThe Amer- STATISTICS ican Political Science Review for inviting us Wto participate in this Forum by writing a re- Population Stratification sponse (or “rejoinder”) to the articles of Fowler and Dawes and of Deppe, Stoltenberg, Smith, and Hibbing.

  • Endogenous Preferences: the Political Consequences of Economic Institutions
    Endogenous Preferences: The Political Consequences of Economic Institutions Jan-Emmanuel De Neve∗y November 5, 2009 Abstract This paper attempts to explain cross-national voting behavior in 18 West- ern democracies over 1960-2003. A new data set for the median voter is intro- duced that corrects for stochastic error in the statistics from the Comparative Manifesto Project. Next, the paper finds that electoral behavior is closely re- lated to the salience of particular economic institutions. Labour organization, skill specificity, and public sector employment are found to influence individual voting behavior. At the country level, this paper suggests that coordinated market economies move the median voter to the left, whereas liberal market economies move the median voter to the right. The empirical analysis employs cross-sectional and panel data that are instrumented with the level of eco- nomic structure circa 1900 to estimate the net effect of economic institutions on the median voter. Significant results show that revealed voter preferences are endogenous to the economic institutions of the political economy. This paper places political economy at the heart of voting behavior and implies the existence of institutional advantages to partisan politics.

  • Social and Psychological Influences on Political Behavior
    Settle – GOVT 401 – S17 Government 401 Professor Jaime Settle Spring Semester, 2017 Tyler Hall 368 T/Th 12:30-1:50 p.m. [email protected] Tyler Hall 113 http://jsettle.blogs.wm.edu/teaching/govt401_s17/ Office Hours: Tuesdays, 2:30- Blackboard Course Website 4:30 p.m., or by appointment Social and Psychological Influences on Political Behavior In this seminar, we will explore in depth the contributions to political behavior stemming from innate differences in biology, exposure to the immediate social environment, and the interaction between these influences. Much of the reading you encounter in this class has been published in the last five years and reflects the new directions—and consequently off-the-beaten-path approaches— undertaken by scholars on the cutting edge of political behavior research. A scan of the reading schedule in this syllabus will give you an idea of the range of topics we will encounter. Our work will be to synthesize the readings to understand the points of consensus, contention, and uncertainty in what we think we know about why and how people think, feel, and act in the political realm. Teaching Philosophy The subject matter of a course serves as a tool to help you develop skills to become a better thinker and communicator. The goals for this course are for you to: Ask good questions. Learning necessitates curiosity. Assess and synthesize information. Use the course material to arrive at informed opinions. Engage in analytical reasoning. Respectfully discuss and deliberate ideas. Communicate effectively. Continue to improve the skills necessary to write or present a clearly argued and well-developed discourse.

    Introduction to American Government POLS 1101 The University of Georgia Prof. Anthony Madonna [email protected] Polls The uncertainty in the margin of error reflects our uncertainty about how well our statistical sample will represent the entire population. Other sources of uncertainty, not captured by the margin of error, might include the possibility that people lie to the pollster, are uncertain of what the question means, don’t actually have an opinion, etc. It might also reflect uncertainty about whether the poll question fully captures how people will vote (i.e., there may be variance in weather, events, etc. leading up to the election that will change thing). 1 Polls So what can we say about this poll? Clinton 46 – Trump 43 (WSJ/) +/- 3.1 We can conclude with X% confidence (usually 95) that Clinton is favored by between 42.9% and 49.1% of voters. Similarly we can conclude with 95% confidence that Trump is favored by between 39.9% and 46.1% of voters. Thus, we cannot conclude with 95% confidence that either of them is favored. Polls To properly evaluate polls you should know (1) how to read the poll, (2) the margin of error for said poll, (3) the types of questions asked, (4) the types of people surveyed and (5) the conditions under which they were surveyed. In short, much like everything in politics, you should be VERY skeptical about outlying polls or polls with weak theoretical evidence. 2 Strategic Vision Polling “Strategic Vision Polls Exhibit Unusual Patterns, Possibly Indicating Fraud,” Nate Silver, fivethirtyeight, 1/25/09 One of the things I learned while exploring the statistical proprieties of the Iranian election, the results of which were probably forged, is that human beings are really bad at randomization.

    L32 Pol Sci 5442 Taylor N. Carlson Fall 2019 [email protected] Thursdays 8:00am-10:00am Office Hours: Tuesdays 1:30-3:30 Seigle Hall 305 Seigle Hall 289 Political Psychology Political psychology is a rapidly growing field of research located at the intersection of psychology and political science. Broadly, political psychology helps us understand how individuals think and feel about politics, and how these psychological factors shape political behavior. This course is designed to examine the major areas of research on how psychological factors explain important political phenomena, such as political participation, vote choice, polarization, partisanship, media consumption, political knowledge, political communication, and policy preferences. This course will draw heavily on research in American politics, but will extend to research across the subfields. Students will design and conduct independent research and engage in assignments geared toward professional development. Teaching Philosophy and Course Goals When it comes to graduate education, it is important to me to develop (1) mastery of the substantive topic(s), and (2) skills important for the profession. In service of developing mastery of the substantive topics of political psychology, students will read a combination of seminal articles in the field and cutting-edge articles that have been recently published. Students will engage in thoughtful conversations about the readings each week, with careful attention paid to how we can build upon them empirically and theoretically in our own research programs. In pursuit of the second goal, students will complete a variety of assignments geared toward professional development, such as crafting concise abstracts, presenting academic research, reading reviews of articles, critiquing articles, and conducting independent research through a pre-analysis plan, a pre-registered report for pre-acceptance, a TESS application, or original research article.
