The Effect of Partisanship in Election Law Judicial Decision-Making Ideological Social Identity: How Psychological Attachment to Ideological Groups Shapes Political Attitudes and Behaviors Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher John Devine, B.A., M.A. Political Science Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Kathleen McGraw, Advisor Herbert Weisberg Paul Allen Beck Copyright by Christopher John Devine 2011 ABSTRACT Spatial conceptualizations of ideology dominate the political science literature. In this dissertation, I challenge the comprehensiveness of such conceptualizations, and the standard self-placement measure associated with them, by analyzing the social identity components of ideological identification. My theoretical motivation for this analysis is Social Identity Theory (SIT), which posits that individuals often view valued social groups as extensions of self-identity, which in turn motivate group-based thought and action. SIT is highly influential within the social science literature, and it has become increasingly influential in political science. Yet scholars have never examined the potential for ideological social identity and what effects it might have on political attitudes and behavior, by itself and in combination with other politically-relevant social identities. In this dissertation, I use two original surveys and data from the 1984-2008 American National Election Studies (ANES) to study the credibility and empirical value of a social identity approach to ideological identification. My analysis indicates that ideological social identity (ISI) represents a distinct dimension of ideological identification not adequately captured by the standard ideological self-placement measure. In the mass public, and particularly among party elites, feelings of ii psychological attachment to an ideological in-group are common today and they have become increasingly common over the past quarter-century. For approximately one- quarter of the mass public, and one-third of party elites, ideological social identity even exceeds the strength of partisan social identity. What is more, ISI is somewhat stronger among conservatives and it clearly becomes stronger in response to electoral competition. Most importantly, ideological social identity influences a variety of important political attitudes and behaviors. ISI significantly impacts evaluations of political in- groups and out-groups; as ISI becomes stronger, inter-group bias toward ideological groups, partisan groups, and ideological sub-groups within parties also becomes stronger. ISI also causes ideological constraint to increase, because, I argue, individuals with strong ISI are likely to seek out and follow in-group behavioral cues in order to maintain group norms and a stable sense of social identity. Finally, I find strong evidence of an interaction effect whereby ideological social identity conditions ideological self-placement‟s relevance to vote choice in various elections. Across most experimental and actual elections, and each of the 1984-2008 presidential elections, self-placement‟s effect on vote choice is significant only when ISI is at least moderate in strength. As ISI becomes stronger, self-placement‟s effect on vote choice becomes greater. These findings support my argument that integrating the ISI and self-placement scales yields an exceptionally comprehensive measure of ideological identification more capable than traditional measures of precisely estimating ideology‟s behavioral significance. Together, these analyses attest to the credibility as well as theoretical and empirical value of accounting for psychological attachment to ideological groups when iii evaluating the nature and political significance of ideological identification. I discuss the scholarly contributions of this dissertation, and the many ways in which future research might expand and improve upon my analysis. iv DEDICATION To Trudy, my wife and closest friend v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this dissertation is bittersweet, largely because it represents the culmination of my graduate studies at The Ohio State University. I am deeply indebted to the Political Science Department‟s faculty, staff, and students, for helping me to grow academically, professionally, and personally during my five years at Ohio State. In particular, I thank the three distinguished and eminently capable members of my dissertation committee – Kathleen McGraw, Herb Weisberg, and Paul Beck – for their many integral contributions to this dissertation and to my development as a political scientist. I am more grateful than I can express for their diligence and sound advice throughout the dissertation process, and for providing honest, thorough, and friendly counsel for the various projects and goals that I have pursued as a graduate student. I am responsible for any of this dissertation‟s shortcomings, but they are responsible for many of its strengths. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and kindness to me. Many others have contributed to the completion of this dissertation and to my professional and personal development in ways that I can only begin to acknowledge here. Above all, I thank God for blessing me with the incredible opportunity to pursue my intellectual passion, thus far and in years to come, while experiencing great joy and growth in the process. I have learned many things in my life, but none has proven truer vi or more profound than this: “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). I am also indebted beyond words to my remarkable wife, Trudy Lynne Devine, whose love, support, encouragement, and friendship has been my greatest inspiration and will be for many years to come. Being your husband is my greatest honor and achievement, Trudy. You are what matters to me most of all. All that I have accomplished would not have been possible without a lifetime of love and support from my wonderful family: Michael and Donna Devine, my parents; my siblings, Jennifer and Mikey; Herbie and Edith Wilson; Frank and Mary Devine; Evie Schmidt; and, of course, Sammy. The character and values that my family instilled in me guide everything I do, and everything I am. Thank you for believing in me always, and for sacrificing so much to help me live out my dreams. You are the foundation of everything I am, and everything I have achieved. Marrying Trudy has brought me a wealth of new family, also, and I am very grateful for the many ways in which they have blessed my life. Thanks to all of you: Dave and Vicky Halker; Job, Jammie, Kirby, Keaton, Reese, Anne Marie, Abigail, and Chase Halker; Jeb, Adele, Adeleigh, Carver, and Maddox Halker; Paul, Sara, Allie, Eli, and Owen Schroeder. I also remember and thank Hattie Halker and Bob Litten. For the many ways in which they have contributed to this project and/or to my personal and professional growth at Ohio State and elsewhere, I also extend my sincerest thanks to the following individuals: Herb Asher; Larry Baum; Lamar Benton; Marilynn Brewer; Sarah Bryner; Jeff Budziak; Tracy Burdett; Bryan Cole; Mike Gauch; Dave vii Hampson; Dorothy James; Josh Kertzer; Kyle Kopko; Mark Kopko; Steve Nawara; Mike Neblo; Tom Nelson; David Pound; Retta Semones. Finally, this dissertation includes data from two original surveys that would not have been possible without generous financial support. First, I thank Time-Sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) for providing financial support to conduct the survey experiment that I analyze in Chapter 2, using a nationally representative sample of the mass public. In particular, I thank Penny Visser, Jeremy Freese, the anonymous reviewers, the TESS personnel, and the Knowledge Networks personnel, for approving and administering my survey experiment. I am tremendously grateful for their support, and I commend them for their contributions toward expanding the presence of representative survey experiments within the social science literature. Second, I thank The Ohio State University‟s Department of Political Science for awarding me the 2010 Randall Ripley Graduate Research Grant. Receiving this generous grant enabled me to conduct an original survey of 2008 national party convention delegates that I analyze in Chapter 3. For their hard work in raising money for this award and evaluating my application, I thank the organizers, donors, and administrators of the Ripley Grant. I also thank Randall Ripley for providing the inspiration for this award, and for his interest in my research. Last but not least, I thank the many convention delegates who generously gave of their time to participate in my survey. viii VITA 1984………………………………………...Born in Springfield, Massachusetts 2002………………………………………...Diploma, Westfield High School (Westfield, Massachusetts) 2006………………………………………...B.A., Government and English, Summa Cum Laude, Connecticut College (New London, Connecticut) 2006 to present ..............................................Graduate Teaching Associate, Department of Political Science, The Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio) 2008………………………………………...M.A., Political Science, The Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio) PUBLICATIONS 1.

  • PLS 101 - Lecture 17
    PLS 101 - Lecture 17 A couple of things I want to talk about. Weíll bring up the PowerPoint but I also wanted to show you something here about primaries as well. You know, we just had a recent election. If you think about it right now, here we are at the very beginning of March. Go back to a year from now. Again, this is gonna be somewhat dated on the TV, I think. If you go back a year from now, a year ago, what was going on in terms of the presidential race? Think about what was happening in February and March of last year. What was happening? If you picked up the paper, what would you have seen? [Inaudible student response] Yes. Primaries were going on. These were some of the individuals who were running for president about this time last year. They were going into the primaries. Dick Gephardt from Missouri was running for president. We forget about these names so quickly. John Edwards. Howard Dean. Joe Lieberman, a senator from Connecticut. Al Sharpon. Wesley Clark and John Kerry among others who were all running for president. They wanted to pursue and become the Democratic nominee for president. Who was running in the Republican primaries? Who else? Unopposed. Thatís right. It was just Bush. That was a trick question. All right. Now, I bring all this up because what we saw happening beginning in January all the way through May or June were state by state primaries. Weíre gonna talk about primaries quite a bit today, but there were state by state elections that were taking place to determine who was gonna be the nominee for president.

  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State?
    Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State? A Thesis Presented to The Division of History and Social Sciences Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Daniel Krantz Toffey May 2007 Approved for the Division (Political Science) Paul Gronke Acknowledgements Acknowledgements make me a bit uneasy, considering that nothing is done in isolation, and that there are no doubt dozens—perhaps hundreds—of people responsible for instilling within me the capability and fortitude to complete this thesis. Nonetheless, there are a few people that stand out as having a direct and substantial impact, and those few deserve to be acknowledged. First and foremost, I thank my parents for giving me the incredible opportunity to attend Reed, even in the face of staggering tuition, and an uncertain future—your generosity knows no bounds (I think this thesis comes out to about $1,000 a page.) I’d also like to thank my academic and thesis advisor, Paul Gronke, for orienting me towards new horizons of academic inquiry, and for the occasional swift kick in the pants when I needed it. In addition, my first reader, Tamara Metz was responsible for pulling my head out of the data, and helping me to consider the “big picture” of what I was attempting to accomplish. I also owe a debt of gratitude to the Charles McKinley Fund for providing access to the Cooperative Congressional Elections Study, which added considerable depth to my analyses, and to the Fautz-Ducey Public Policy fellowship, which made possible the opportunity that inspired this work.

  • Phil Cummings, Congressional Aide
    PHIL CUMMINGS Congressional Aide Interview Date: October 11, 2005 Location: Houston, TX EPA Interviewer: We are in Houston, Texas, at the home of Mr. Phil Cummings doing an oral history interview for the 25th anniversary of Superfund. We want to thank you again for agreeing to participate. Cummings: Sure. EPA Interviewer: To begin, I was hoping you could give us some of your educational background and what led you to working on the Hill. Cummings: Those things are intertwined to some degree. When I was an undergraduate at Stanford University, Stanford had a program called “Stanford in Washington.” It was a student-run program to place students in intern positions mostly. I guess it was after my junior year, I had sought a position through the “Stanford in Washington” people, and the folks that came back to Washington to try to line up positions just happened to be standing in the office. I had an affiliation with West Virginia, and so that was something we were trying to play on. They were in the office of Senator Jennings Randolph trying to see if he might have an intern position available. When the new Staff Director of the Senate Public Works Committee—what it was called at that time—came in, Senator Randolph had just become Chairman. EPA Interviewer: Of which committee? Cummings: Senate Public Works Committee it was called. This is in 1966. Dick Royce, who was the new Staff Director, came in and he just said something like, “Well, I think we might have a position for a bright young person from Stanford.” That is just the way he talks.

  • Joe Lieberman
    A Conversation with JOE LIEBERMAN Senator Joseph I. Lieberman was the 2000 Democratic nominee for vice president alongside presidential candidate Al Gore. From 1989 until 2013, Lieberman served as senator from Connecticut, first as a member of the Democratic Party and then, from 2006, as an independent. Previously he served in the Connecticut state senate and as the state attorney general. In this conversation, Kristol and Lieberman discuss key moments of Lieberman’s career in public service from his ascent in Connecticut politics to Gore-Lieberman in 2000, as well as his successful Senate campaign as an independent in 2006. Lieberman also reflects on colleagues and contemporaries such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Bob Dole, John McCain, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. On Gore-Lieberman 2000, Lieberman says: “It vindicated Gore's confidence that America was not going to judge me based on my religion. And it's a wonderful thing to be able to say.” On his support for the Iraq War, Lieberman says: “It really alienated me from a lot of the left of the Democratic Party and frankly some of the middle, too, who were anti-war and anti-Bush... A lot of them read it not that I was sticking with the Iraq war for reasons of foreign policy and American national interests but somehow I was doing it for President Bush...the fact that he and I might have...reached the same policy conclusions never dawned on a lot of these people.” On Two Democratic Presidents, Lieberman says: “Obama has very smart ideas but has not worked the Congress very well and people, even those who are loyal to him, don't see him, don't talk to him very much...Clinton, he'd call you and the problem was ‘how do I get him off the phone?’” Chapter Links to JOE LIEBERMAN Conversation Gore-Lieberman 2000 From Connecticut to Washington Lieberman’s 2006 Senate Race On Senators and Presidents 350 WEST 42ND STREET, SUITE 37C, NEW YORK, NY 10036 .
