Zigerell, L.J, 2014, "Inferential Selection Bias in a Study of Racial Bias: Revisiting "Working Twice as Hard to Get Half as Far"", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/28043, Harvard Dataverse, V2
A recent article reported evidence from a survey experiment indicating that Americans reward whites more than blacks for hard work but penalize blacks more than whites for laziness. However, the present study demonstrates that these inferences were based on an unrepresentative selection of possible analyses: strength of inferences from results repo... |
Zigerell, L.J, 2014, "Replication data for: Justice Has Served: US Supreme Court Justice Retirement Strategies", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26218, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:5:OAaoKyaRuWEEZ+qvHvpXUA== [fileUNF]
Empirical studies have been mixed about whether the political environment influences a justice's decision to retire from the U.S. Supreme Court. Studies have tended to presume that the influence of the political environment is uniform, such that justices are more likely to retire during more favorable environments and less likely to retire during l... |

L.J Zigerell, 2014, "Replication data for: Science Knowledge and Biblical Literalism", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26201, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Biblical literalists are often described as scientific illiterates, but little if any empirical research has tested this claim. Analysis of a sixteen-item battery from the 2008 US General Social Survey revealed that literalists possess less science knowledge than those with other views of Scripture, but that much of this deficit can be attributed t... |
Zigerell, L.J, 2014, "Replication data for: Senator Opposition to Supreme Court Nominations: Reference Dependence on the Departing Justice", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26222, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:4P+q8EZX/KwW/Jxdq0PzKw== [fileUNF]
Research indicates that senators evaluate U.S. Supreme Court nominations on two ideological dimensions: the distance between themselves and the nominee, and the potential effect confirmation would have on the Court median. My analysis of nominations from 1968 to 2006 provides evidence that senators are also influenced by the ideological contrast be... |

Zigerell, L.J, 2014, "Replication data for: Safe, Legal, Rare… and Early: Gender and the Politics of Abortion", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26223, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:5:d1oNzERtnxfA75TYG5RtZg== [fileUNF]
Much social science research suggests that men and women have similar abortion policy preferences. But this inference may be incorrect because studies have focused on understanding preferences regarding the reasons women may seek abortions, while neglecting preferences as they pertain to the timing of abortions. Analysis of responses to a team modu... |

L.J Zigerell, 2014, "Replication data for: You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26203, Harvard Dataverse, V1
List experiment respondents may misreport the number of list items that they associate with in order to associate themselves with a socially desirable test item or to disassociate themselves from a socially undesirable test item. Tests for such misreporting were conducted. List experiments from the 1991 National Race and Politics Survey, the 2006 C... |

Zigerell, L.J, 2014, "Replication data for: Don't Know Much about Democracy: Reporting Survey Data with Nonsubstantive Responses", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26167, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Large majorities in nearly every country support democracy, according to studies of cross-national surveys. But many of these reports have treated as missing data persons who did not provide a substantive response when asked to offer an opinion about the suitability of democracy as a regime type for their country, which has led to substantial overes... |

Zigerell, L.J, 2014, "Replication data for: Midpoint Misperceptions on 1-to-10 Scales", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/26166, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Scales that range from 1 to 10 are a common tool in political science and other disciplines, but this study reports evidence that from the 2005-2008 wave of the World Values Survey suggesting that many respondents interpret 5 as the midpoint of a 1-to-10 scale. This misperception would bias item means downward, introduce inferential uncertainty, an... |
