Moral Bias in Large Elections: Theory and Experimental Evidence (2009, background): “Jankowski (2002), Fowler (2006), Tyran and Sausgruber (2006), and Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan (2007) all incorporate social preferences into models of instrumental voting.”
Why Does Ethnic Diversity Undermine Public Goods Provision? (2007, background): “In doing so, we join a growing group of social scientists—–including, increasingly, political scientists (e.g., Bahry and Wilson, forthcoming; Fowler 2006)—–who have employed laboratory experiments to study patterns of altruism, cooperation, and trust (for a review, see Camerer 2003).”
Linking Conflict to Inequality and Polarization (2011, background): “8 See also Collier and Hoef!er (1998), Alberto Alesina, Rez Baqir, and Easterly (1999), Tanja Ellingsen (2000), Håvard Hegre et al. (2001), Alesina et al.”
Beyond Total Effects: Exploring the Interplay of Personality and Attitudes in Affecting Turnout in the 2009 German Federal Election (2013, background): “While Gerber et al. (2011a, 2011c) find no effects at all using reported and validated turnout measures, Mondak (2010) as well as Mondak and Halperin (2008) conclude that agreeable persons are less likely to participate in elections.”
Voting as a Rational Choice (2007, unknown): “A prediction worth studying is that those who give a lot to charity, given their income, and so have high values of α (see (2)) will be more likely to vote (as is suggested by the experimental work of Fowler (2004a)).”
Two Genes Predict Voter Turnout (2008, unknown): “Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan (2007) show that a variety of aggregate features of turnout can be easily explained by incorporating prosocial preferences into the decision-theoretic calculus of voting, and Jankowski (2002) shows that this reasoning extends to a game-theoretic model.”
The Heritability of Partisan Attachment (2009, background): “Strength of partisanship is also related to political knowledge (Delli Carpini and Keeter 1996), the motivation to vote (Fowler 2006), and the formation of attitudes toward new candidates and public policy issues (Campbell et al. 1960; Converse and Markus 1979).”
Beyond the Self: Social Identity, Altruism, and Political Participation (2007, background): “Altruists who want to help others regardless of their group affiliation may have a larger incentive to participate than those who are merely self-interested.”
Personality Traits and Political Participation: Evidence from South Korea (2013, background): “For example, empirical evidence revealed that individuals with high altruism scores (a specific “facet” of Agreeableness) were more likely to vote (e.g., Blais & Labbé-St-Vincent, 2011; Fowler, 2006).”
