Intro American Poli

Midterm 1 Terms

QuestionAnswer
Measurement Error Measurement Error is Inaccuracies within individual questions caused by: • Respondent inattentiveness • Social desirability bias • Partisan cheerleading • Question wording
Sampling Variability Inevitable inaccuracies that arise when using a small group to estimate attitudes of a large population • Even with random sampling done correctly, small n samples are likely to be inaccurate • Exacerbated by slicing the data too thinly
Selection Bias Inaccuracies resulting from the sampling process • Differential response rates • Sample frames (random digit dialing, internet polling) • Famous example: 1936 Literary Digest poll
Sources of Individual Opinion Economic, social, and ideological interests Political socialization Personal experience (Egan and Mullins, 2012) Elite cues and partisan persuasion
Elite Cues • Individual survey responses come from “top of head” • Elite position taking drives mass opinion change • But, only politically aware individuals will receive those cues
Implications of Zaller and the Subsequent Experiments Elite Cues affect mass opinion Influence depends on awareness and prior opinion towards the source The strength of an individual’s prior stance on an issue also affects the influence of an elite cue Elite polarization can drive mass polarization
The good of the constitution , what ills did it fix of the AoC? - National defense, national credit, regulation of interstate commerce
The Bad of the Constitution Mitigates inevitable problems of a large central state - Additional Agency loss, conformity costs, etc.
The Ugly of the the Constitution Does not address the avoidable social ills of early America such as slavery, suffrage, or inequality
