• Is There Backlash to Social Pressure? A Large-scale Field Experiment on Voter Mobilization (2010, background): “In particular, recent field experiments using social pressure to encourage voter participation have generated impressive increases in turnout ( Gerber et al. 2008, 2010; Davenport 2010; Panagopoulos 2010).”
• Selling Out?: The Politics of Navigating Conflicts between Racial Group Interest and Self-interest (2014, result): “This type of effect has been replicated over a number of studies and supports the general idea that “shaming” is an effective tool for shaping political behavior (Gerber, Green, and Larimer 2010).”
• Explaining Group Influence: The Role of Identity and Emotion in Political Conformity and Polarization (2015, background): “While some studies of social influence in political science have discussed these mechanisms and tested them indirectly (e.g., Gerber, Green, and Larimer 2010; Sinclair 2012), surprisingly few studies have provided persuasive evidence of their causal role in influence by directly manipulating them…”
• Detecting Spillover Effects: Design and Analysis of Multilevel Experiments (2012, methodology): “Consistent with past experiments using a simi lar "self' mailer (Gerber, Green, and Larimer 2008, 2010; 14 This variable is relevant only to individuals living in two- and three-voter households.”
• Field Experiments and the Study of Voter Turnout (2013, background): “When social norms are asserted forcefully, the effects tend to be quite large, and even pre-recorded phone calls conveying social pressure messages significantly increase turnout (Gerber et al., 2010).”
