摘要

摘要实验学家和调查研究人员定期测量受访者个人讨论网络的组成和规模,以了解公民做出政治选择的社会背景。在衡量这些个人网络时,一些学者使用问题提示,专门询问受访者与谁讨论“政治”,而另一些学者则使用更一般的提示,询问受访者与哪些人讨论“重要事项”。先前的研究表明,“政治”讨论网络提示创建了与“重要事项”提示实质上相似的自我报告网络。我们进行了一项具有全国代表性的调查实验来重新评估这个问题。我们的研究结果表明,尽管这两个问题产生的网络规模平均可能相似,但这两个主题总体上产生了不同的响应分布。特别是,对政治感兴趣的受访者报告的政治讨论网络比一般讨论网络大,对政治不感兴趣的调查对象报告的政治论述网络比一般论述网络小。

Political and Social Discussion Network Survey Items Are Not Interchangeable
Abstract Experimentalists and survey researchers regularly measure the makeup and size of respondent personal discussion networks to learn about the social context in which citizens make political choices. When measuring these personal networks, some scholars use question prompts that specifically ask respondents about whom they discuss “politics” with, while others use more general prompts that ask respondents about whom they discuss “important matters” with. Prior research suggests that “political” discussion network prompts create self-reported networks that are substantively similar to “important matters” prompts. We conduct a nationally representative survey experiment to re-evaluate this question. Our results suggest that, although the size of networks generated by the two questions may be similar on average, the two questions generate different response distributions overall. In particular, respondents interested in politics report larger political discussion networks than general discussion networks, and respondents uninterested in politics report smaller political discussion networks than general discussion networks.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Experimental Political Science (JEPS) features cutting-edge research that utilizes experimental methods or experimental reasoning based on naturally occurring data. We define experimental methods broadly: research featuring random (or quasi-random) assignment of subjects to different treatments in an effort to isolate causal relationships in the sphere of politics. JEPS embraces all of the different types of experiments carried out as part of political science research, including survey experiments, laboratory experiments, field experiments, lab experiments in the field, natural and neurological experiments. We invite authors to submit concise articles (around 4000 words or fewer) that immediately address the subject of the research. We do not require lengthy explanations regarding and justifications of the experimental method. Nor do we expect extensive literature reviews of pros and cons of the methodological approaches involved in the experiment unless the goal of the article is to explore these methodological issues. We expect readers to be familiar with experimental methods and therefore to not need pages of literature reviews to be convinced that experimental methods are a legitimate methodological approach. We will consider longer articles in rare, but appropriate cases, as in the following examples: when a new experimental method or approach is being introduced and discussed or when novel theoretical results are being evaluated through experimentation. Finally, we strongly encourage authors to submit manuscripts that showcase informative null findings or inconsistent results from well-designed, executed, and analyzed experiments.
