Identifying Legitimacy: Experimental Evidence on Compliance with Authority Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Eric Dickson; Sanford Gordon; Gregory Huber, 2022, "Identifying Legitimacy: Experimental Evidence on Compliance with Authority", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/6MVZSU, Yale Dataverse, V2 To what extent do individuals’ perceptions of legitimacy affect their intrinsic motivations to comply with an authority? Answering this question has critical implications for law enforcement but is challenging because actions or institutions that affect intrinsic motivations typically also affect extrinsic, material ones. To disentangle these, we p...
Testing the Efficacy of Three Informational Interventions for Reducing Misperceptions of the Black–White Wealth Gap Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Bennett Callaghan; Leilah Harouni; Cydney H. Dupree; Michael Kraus; Jennifer Richeson, 2022, "Testing the Efficacy of Three Informational Interventions for Reducing Misperceptions of the Black–White Wealth Gap", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/IEDYFO, Yale Dataverse, V2 Americans remain unaware of the magnitude of economic inequality in the nation and the degree to which it is patterned by race. We exposed a community sample of respondents to one of three interventions designed to promote a more realistic understanding of the Black–White wealth gap. The interventions conformed to recommendations in messaging about...
"Outside Lobbying” Over the Airwaves: A Randomized Field Experiment on Televised Issue Ads Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Joshua L. Kalla; David E. Broockman, 2022, ""Outside Lobbying” Over the Airwaves: A Randomized Field Experiment on Televised Issue Ads", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/8ESLSV, Yale Dataverse, V2 We present the first field experiment on how organized interest groups’ television ads affect issue opinions. We randomized 31,404 voters to three weeks of interest group ads about either immigration or transgender nondiscrimination. We then randomly assigned voters to receive ostensibly unrelated surveys either while the ads aired, one day after t...
Economic Decline, Social Identity, and Authoritarian Values in the United States Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Cameron Ballard-Rosa; Amalie Sofie Jensen; Kenneth Scheve, 2022, "Economic Decline, Social Identity, and Authoritarian Values in the United States", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/6XTQSD, Yale Dataverse, V2 Why does the contemporary backlash against globalization in the United States have such a substantial authoritarian character? We argue that sustained economic decline has a negative effect on the social identity of historically dominant groups. These losses lead individuals to be more likely to want to enforce social norm conformity—that is, adopt...
Rural Banks Can Reduce Poverty: Experimental Evidence from 870 Indian Villages - Daily Consumption Survey Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Rohini Pande; Giorgia Barboni; Erica Field, 2022, "Rural Banks Can Reduce Poverty: Experimental Evidence from 870 Indian Villages - Daily Consumption Survey", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/0G5PJG, Yale Dataverse, V2 For more than one decFor more than one decade, researchers have worked with Kshetriya Gramin Financial Services (KGFS) on a large-scale experimental evaluation of the impact of improved access to formal financial services for rural populations. The team used a randomized controlled trial running from 2009 to 2016 to analyze the impact of services f...

The team used a randomized controlled trial running from 2009 to 2016 to analyze the impact of services from an innovative rur...
Experimental Evidence That Changing Beliefs About Mask Efficacy and Social Norms Increase Mask Wearing for COVID-19 Risk Reduction: Results From the United States and Italy Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Scott Bokemper; Maria Cucciniello; Tiziano Rotesi; Paolo Pin; Amyn Malik; Kathryn Willebrand; Elliott Paintsil; Saad Omer; Gregory Huber; Alessia Melegaro, 2022, "Experimental Evidence That Changing Beliefs About Mask Efficacy and Social Norms Increase Mask Wearing for COVID-19 Risk Reduction: Results From the United States and Italy", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/EPR6EW, Yale Dataverse, V2 In the absence of widespread vaccination for COVID-19, governments and public health officials have advocated for the public to wear masks during the pandemic. The decision to wear a mask in public is likely affected by both beliefs about its efficacy and the prevalence of the behavior. Greater mask use in the community may encourage others to foll...
Measuring Misperceptions: Limits of Party-Specific Stereotype Reports Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Lilla Orr; Gregory Huber, 2022, "Measuring Misperceptions: Limits of Party-Specific Stereotype Reports", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/STJQKJ, Yale Dataverse, V2 Prior research has reported that Americans hold biased perceptions about the composition of US parties. Survey respondents vastly overestimate the frequency with which partisans belong to other social groups stereotypically associated with their party. We argue that when perceptions of Democrats, Republicans, and members of the American public are...
Irrelevant Events and Voting Behavior: Replications Using Principles from Open Science Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Matthew H. Graham; Gregory Huber; Neil Malhotra; Cecilia Hyunjung Mo, 2023, "Irrelevant Events and Voting Behavior: Replications Using Principles from Open Science", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/1K9F4T, Yale Dataverse, V2 How well do voters hold politicians accountable? Although a longstanding research tradition claims that elections are effective tools for the sanctioning and selection of leaders, a more-recent literature argues that voters often reward and punish incumbents for “irrelevant events.” The empirical literature on this topic is characterized by conflic...
The Generalizability of Online Experiments Conducted During the COVID-19 Pandemic Apr 8, 2026 - ISPS Data Archive Kyle Peyton; Gregory Huber; Alexander Coppock, 2022, "The Generalizability of Online Experiments Conducted During the COVID-19 Pandemic", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/JTINWB, Yale Dataverse, V2 The COVID-19 pandemic imposed new constraints on empirical research, and online data collection by social scientists increased. Generalizing from experiments conducted during this period of persistent crisis may be challenging due to changes in how participants respond to treatments or the composition of online samples. We investigate the generaliz...
