PULSE 2.0

The latent constructs of American political science, arranged down the funnel of causality (Campbell et al. 1960, The American Voter) — from distal social structure and socialization, through party identification and enduring values, to the proximal acts of turnout and vote choice. Grouped items mutually exclude as predictors of one another, so a model never "explains" a construct with a relabeled version of itself. Click a construct to see its items, the theory behind it, and which items are live as dependent variables.
