We propose a model of motivated skepticism that helps explain when and why citizens are biased‐information processors. Two experimental studies explore how citizens evaluate arguments about affirmative action and gun control, finding strong evidence of a prior attitude effect such that attitudinally congruent arguments are evaluated as stronger than attitudinally incongruent arguments. When reading pro…

W e show that social scientists often do not take full advantage of the information available in their statistical results and thus miss opportunities to present quantities that could shed the greatest light on their research questions. In this article we suggest an approach, built on the technique of statistical simulation, to extract the currently…
Scholars have often remarked that Congress neglects its oversight responsibility. We argue that Congress does no such thing: what appears to be a neglect of oversight really is the rational preference for one form of oversight-which we call fire-alarm oversight-over another form-police-patrol oversight. Our analysis supports a somewhat neglected way of looking at the strategies…

It expects candidates to emphasize issues on which they are advantaged and their opponents are less well regarded. It explains the structural factors and party system variables…
Researchers typically analyze time-series-cross-section data with a binary dependent \nvariable (BTSCS) using ordinary logit or probit. However, BTSCS observations are \nlikely to violate the independence assumption of the ordinary logit or probit statistical \nmodel. It is well known that if the observations are temporally related that the results of \nan ordinary logit or probit analysis may be misleading. In…
