Yang, Yi, 2025, "Replication Data for: Can followers detect political leaders who cheat? Testing an evolutionary position", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/OTTGKF, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:ZXvx0dL0FAOaW8sCwL1XUw== [fileUNF]
Scholars using evolutionary theory to study political psychology find that the average citizen in democracies is unable to choose between political leaders according to their ideologies. Rather, citizens turn to perceptions of procedural fairness during public decision-making when evaluating their leaders. We retest such evolutionary propositions i... |

Krause, George, 2025, "Replication Data for: Decomposing Rules versus Discretionary Policy Effects on Income Inequality in the American States", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/WCB04D, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:23IAn3/S8r9huKtBd7808w== [fileUNF]
Abstract Governments shape policy outcomes using two distinct sources of public policymaking: rules and discretion. A simple decomposition strategy is proposed for distinguishing between rule-based (tax and expenditure limitations: TELs) and discretionary (partisan governments) policymaking effects on income inequality in the American states from 1... |
Balcells, Laia; Martínez, Sergi; vanderWilden, Ethan, 2025, "Replication Data for: Discounting extreme positions: Party normalization and support for the far right", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CMPWS1, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:o2ntzOZ3adGxnS0cuMPzXQ== [fileUNF]
When are far right parties punished for their extreme positions? We argue that the punishments of deviant position-taking are conditional on the degree to which a far right party is normalized or stigmatized in the party system. When the far right is treated as normal, costs suffered from these parties' extreme positions decrease, as moderate voter... |
Zheng, Bang, 2025, "Improved LM Test for Robust Model Specification Searches in Covariance Structure Analysis: Application in Political Science Research", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/W77NEA, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:o31vPTmufOS1LA0k8HX45w== [fileUNF]
Covariance Structure Analysis (CSA) or Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is critical for political scientists measuring latent structural relationships, allowing for the simultaneous assessment of both latent and observed variables, alongside measurement error. Well-specified models are essential for theoretical support, balancing simplicity with... |
Fornaro, Giulia, 2025, "Conservative bias in perceptions of public opinion among citizens: perceived social norms about abortion rights in post-Roe United States", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SPEOL9, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:sr0K/U60nojWZ4vHk6h00g== [fileUNF]
Politicians appear to overestimate how conservative public opinion is both in the United States and in other Western democracies. Whether this “conservative bias” is peculiar to political elites or it extends also to voters is less clear, yet has major implications for beliefs formation and behaviors. I address this question in the context of abort... |
Bisbee, James, 2025, "Economic Evaluations and Partisan Faultfinding: When are Respondents Most Likely to Answer Survey Questions Honestly?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9MDTGD, Harvard Dataverse, V1
This paper introduces a simple approach for assessing which survey questions are more likely to elicit political identity-influenced responses. We use daily data from Gallup to test which survey self-reports exhibit more or less susceptibility to politicization, finding the highest likelihood of politicization for societal-level questions. Converse... |

Newman, Benjamin, 2025, "Replication Data for: Using Contextual Measures to Capture Citizens' Perception of Inequality in their Surrounding Environment", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PY3UJW, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:48hMwxhQ8boObhe0jTNqzw== [fileUNF]
A growing literature explores the effect of economic inequality in citizens' surrounding environment on their political attitudes and behavior. This literature typically relies on measures of income concentration or gap-size, which reflect under-tested presumptions about how citizens perceive the economic conditions surrounding them. Utilizing surv... |

Meisels, Mellissa, 2025, "Replication Data for: Everything in Moderation? The Effect of Extremist Nominations on Individual and Corporate PAC Fundraising", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FAFWTY, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Do ideologically extreme candidates enjoy fundraising advantages over more moderate candidates? Extant work documents a relationship between candidates’ positions and campaign contributions subnationally and in donor surveys, yet identification challenges have hampered investigation in the congressional context. I employ a close primaries regressio... |

Vander Wielen, Ryan, 2025, "Replication Data for: From Cradle to Congress: The Effect of Birthplace on Legislative Decision-making", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BX399B, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:O/4er1VBRDukg4uYe0AMPw== [fileUNF]
The extent to which legislators pursue their privately-held preferences in office has important implications for representative democracy and is exceedingly difficult to measure. Many models of legislative decision-making tacitly assume that members are willing and able to carry out the wishes of their constituents so as to maximize their reelectio... |
