Cues vs. Content: How People Reason about Politics
Thu, September 5, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC), 105BSession Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
This panel offers critical advances in the study of cues and information. The papers argue, inter alia, that citizens can choose when to rely on cues, that more information is not helpful for attitude crystallization in all cases, that scholars may underestimate how well citizens' priorities inform their attitudes, and that perceived policy content drives opposition to out-party policies more than previously thought.
