Early voting

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate how early voters behave in contrast to election-day voters. The results reveal significant attitudinal distinctions among election-day and early voters such as stronger ideological affiliation among early voters than election-day voters. This confirms the hypothesis that party identification affects the candidate choices of early voters more than election-day voters. It further reveals that candidates may adopt the strategy of harvesting core supporters early then proceeding to compete for swing and nonpartisan support with a different but related campaign message.

Projective questioning and ethnic discrimination: a procedure for measuring employer bias

Article Abstract:

A systemic projective questioning technique was developed to determine the significant attitudes among personnel managers about different racial groups in a diverse pool of employees. With this method, the effects of projective ratings focused on belief strengths and belief evaluations on model predictions were tested. Results demonstrate the usefulness of projective questioning on discriminatory attitude-centered research.
